Storm Stories
Arrival of a Friend!
Ravyn Storm had been wrestling on the local independent circuit for almost nine years. She started her professional career at fifteen years old. Her passion for the sport never diminished, even when it seemed like the boys didn't want her there. She insisted on wrestling men a lot of the time because most women in the business were managers or valets. Very few could wrestle an actual match. So when the boys discovered that they were wrestling a girl, most of them were pissed. Ravyn was used to them working stiff with her, trying to scare her out of the business. But when she would take their beatings and give them back the exact same treatment she could usually earn their respect.
She worked for as many different companies as she could all over the north east. Once in a while a promoter would be impressed by her skill enough to let her carry a belt. Though those occasions were rare. She just loved wrestling, so it never mattered to her how many titles she won. She loved to play the heel character and really make the crowd hate her. But in most parts of New York she was wildly over. Her fan base stretched along the Hudson river from Glens Falls to Manhattan. Sometimes she would even get face pops in random towns because she could actually work. The fans would start out expecting a typical women's match and were floored by her matches with the guys.
She broadened her horizons when she turned twenty-one. She started working for companies outside fo the north east. She worked in the mid-west and a few places in the south. She was hired on with a company in Chicago called Dark Championship Wrestling (DcW). The owner's name was Joe. At the time he had only hired her because he thought that he was in love with her. After a boat load of drama with Joe she left the company and took a step back from the business. It took a few months before she was ready to move on, and she decided to start her own promotion. She wasn't sure how badly she actually wanted to run shows, but she knew that she wanted to start her own wrestling school. Using almost all the money she had saved up over the last nine years she bought a ring and rented a warehouse. EwCw was born.
She advertised all over that she was opening up. She had quite a few clients at first, but the numbers dwindled when people realized that wrestling was actually difficult. Finally, she got the break she needed. Joe, the owner of DcW, was going through some rough time in Chicago. He proposed that they run their two companies separately but share talent. And it worked like a charm. Soon Ravyn was running a weekly show and still training at her school. Profits were up enough that Ravyn could leave most of the booking to one of her guys and focus mostly on training.
It was about this time when Ravyn's long time friend Jenn was about to graduate High School. Jenn, JJ as Ravyn called her, hated Kansas and really wanted to become a professional wrestler. Her parents were dead set against it. They hated wrestling. They hated that JJ even watched it on TV. So after much discussion JJ decided that she wanted to follow her heart and pursue a wrestling career. She left home the night of her High School graduation and drove to New York. Her family disowned her because of her decision. Ravyn provided her with a place to stay, a job and a seemingly endless supply of wrestling knowledge. But what she gave her that mattered more than anything was friendship. The girls spent countless hours in the ring. JJ spent all of her spare time working out at the arena so her mind couldn't drift back to her family that she had left behind. Ravyn tried to keep her busy with extra work around the building. JJ was in charge of merchandise sales at shows. Along with her many other responsibilities. When Ravyn was ready to go back on the road she asked JJ to come with her. Her friend was ecstatic. JJ quickly agreed. They could work on her training while they were traveling. The girls packed up Ravyn's car and headed out on their first of many adventures.

A year or two later JJ was a real wrestler. She had worked her first professional match against Ravyn at the EwCw arena. She continued to improve with every match and so did the girls friendship. They were nearly inseparable. They traveled together, they worked together and they goofed off together. When Joe, the owner of DcW, decided that he was in love with JJ, Ravyn was not happy. JJ wanted no part of him, and Ravyn tried her hardest to get Joe to back off. But JJ would consistently do something to set Joe off. Ravyn tried everything she could to get the storyline re-written. He began to blur the line between real life and wrestling.
He finally agreed to end the ridiculous story with a match between him and JJ. He insisted that it be in a steel cage. Everything went terribly wrong. The entire match was a disaster. JJ ended up suffering spinal shock that caused temporary paralysis and a separated shoulder. Ravyn was heartbroken. There was nothing she could have done to save JJ though. The fall from the top of the cage was nothing but an accident. A simple mis-step. None of her students had ever been injured like this before. The moment the match ended Ravyn was at JJ's side. She stayed with her in the hospital until she regained consciousness.
"What happened?" JJ asked groggily. "I feel like I got hit by a bus."
"You're pretty beat up," Ravyn admitted sadly. "The match didn't really go as planned..."
"Ravyn, why can't I move my legs?" JJ was nearly panicking.
Ravyn quickly buzzed the doctors, "I don't know J. But we'll fix it." Her eyes filled with tears as she tried to stay strong for her friend.
*****
Two days later Ravyn walked into JJ's hospital room after that morning's wrestling school session. JJ had a beaming smile on her face.
"I can move again!" she said excitedly. "The doctors said the swelling of my spine was pressing on something that was making me not able to move."
"J, that's awesome!" Ravyn rushed over to hug her.
"They said I should make a full recovery," she grinned.
Ravyn was thrilled, but cautious, "Well, I still want you to take it slow. There's no rush for you to come back."
A somber look crossed JJ's face, "Ravyn... what happened in that match? I blacked out. I don't remember a thing after the first couple of minutes."
"J," Ravyn sighed. "It was bad. Really bad. I'm not sure you really need to know right now. And I'm not sure if I could even tell you yet."
JJ was confused, "But there's a tape right?" Can't I just watch the tape?"
Ravyn shook her head, "No. The tapes ran out just after your entrance. Even if there were a tape. I'm not sure I would even let you watch it."
JJ nodded, still a little hurt that she couldn't figure out what had happened. "So when can I get out of here?" she sighed.
"Soon. Maybe a day or two," Ravyn smiled. "But I got booked down south for the weekend. So the boys will be here if you need anything. Hopefully they won't make you too crazy."
"I should be fine," JJ told her. "I just want to go home."
"I know. You'll be okay though friend," Ravyn grinned. "And with any luck you'll be back in the ring in no time."
Ravyn didn't catch her friend's grim look at the mention of wrestling. She hung out for a while before heading home to pack for her weekend trip.
