Hey Guys, So here is the first chapter of the sequel to WWE High. I thank everyone who has patiently waited for this and bared with me through all the decisions I had to make. I do not own any characters mentioned, only the storyline. All other rights go to WWE and the wrestlers mentioned. Happy Reading.
A lot had changed in five years, especially for WWE High, thanks to the wrestling tournaments, they had become the leading school to training in wrestling followed by ROH College and TNA Academy. Around the school site were several encouraging posters to those who wished to be part of the wrestling team, but this year was going to even more special than the last, Vince was going to hold a very special event where the Alpha Team from five years ago, that were all over the place in the wrestling world were coming to the school to speak with the next generation of wrestlers, he smiled at the thought of the school's biggest celebrity team as students put it coming back to help them out and speak with this years senior group, it really did amaze him that they were willing to take time out of their busy schedules just to return to their high school and talk with the students, and just generally be there for them.
At this moment in time Booker T was in the south quarter of the school putting together a display of the Senior Year Wrestling Team that put them on the map, he smiled when he seen what some of them had achieved and where they were now, you had former champions in most of them and crowd pleaser's there too. He knew which ever business they were in WWE or even TNA they would be the ones to be drawing the crowd to the company and showing what the could do through their skills, both in ring and with a microphone, hell some of them even had skills with all three including the promos bit. He always kept an eye on them, as he found they were the talented ones, he had faith they could bring their dreams a reality and most of them had done just that.
The display board had a set design that Vince had done through a very quick and simple sketch after all the man had a school to run, he wanted the school logo in the middle of the black paper covered board with "WWE High Wrestling Team 2015" written underneath it, then around that there would be pictures of the wrestlers with a little bit about their wrestling careers i.e. the company the wrestled for, their finish – signature and submission, their accomplishments and where they were now. Booker was unaware of the pair standing behind him watching as he put each picture up with the little bit of information under it.
"Paige Knight – signed to WWE on their main roster, finishing move Paige Turner, Signature move Rampage and Submission PTO. Greatest accomplishments include being the first ever NXT women's champion and 2x WWE diva's champion. Also known as Miss Hell In Boots and The Anti-Diva" read Becky looking over how different Paige was from every other student she had seen and how much she had accomplished in her chosen career, the picture shown was of Paige with the NXT Women's title over one shoulder and the WWE Diva's title over the other. She was different in her appearance and had some unusual named moves to go with her style.
"Dean Ambrose – signed to WWE on their main roster, finishing move Dirty Deeds, signature moves include Midnight Special, Lunatic Lariat, Suicide Dive and Drop Kicks. Greatest Accomplishments include being 1/3 of The Shield and the longest reigning United States Champion of the modern era. Also known as The Lunatic Fringe and Street Dog" read Finn looking over the mini profile for the craziest wrestler to ever past through WWE High, he was often compared to the likes of Flyin' Brian Pillman for being a loose cannon, Roddy Pipper for his lack of mind filters and promo work and Stone Cold Steve Austin for the wildness and the lack of care for his own well being as well as some of the stunts he has pulled.
"You two admire them, for being different" said Booker, looking behind him, he always had that gut feeling that Paige and Dean would do what no one else before them had, he knew they would change the face of the wrestling company they were in, with AJ's help Paige has broken the old stereotype of the Diva's being sane and look a certain way, between the two of them they have proved that the girls in wrestling can be just as if not more unpredictable and mentally unstable than the boys, and Paige she refused to change for anyone thrust she broke any and every stereotype there was for a diva. Dean while he just made sure he was unique, with his talents in the rings with a microphone and cutting promos there was no way WWE had seen anything like him before, hell he went off someone during the middle of a show and returned with a hot dog cart, even made a surprise return at Night of Champions against former Shield Brethren Seth Rollins as well as reappeared at Raw event in a Police Wagon after he was arrested.
"They are different, unique to what you normally see with Superstars and Diva's, with them there was no stereotypes, there was no typical way of wrestling" said Finn, he remembered watching wrestling as a child and saying that he was going to be a professional wrestler to all of his friends when he was in junior school, they all laughed at him but now here he was in his final year at WWE high and aiming to be part of the Wrestling Team, he knew most things about the sport and how hard it could be to achieve your dreams but with enough hard work he knew he could do it, after all, he started the school the same year those on the board he was looking at left, as soon as he seen pictures of them he knew he wanted to do what they had done, he wanted to be different, to stand out from the crowd, in an odd sort of way they had become his inspirations.
"It's not very often you come across someone like Paige who is willing to go at it completely alone to achieve her dreams of being at the top, and with Dean Ambrose the rule book his thrown out the window. If they were to ever team up it would literally be a once in a lifetime event, nobody would know what was going to happen" said Becky she could imagine how unpredictable the pair would be if they joined forces, one taking down the Diva's division and the others wrecking havoc with the superstars, nobody would be safe.
Booker looked at the pair of them, admiring their imagination especially what they could see happening if Paige and Dean happened to team together, they were right, all the rules would most likely be broken with the pair creating their own ones. Now if Booker thinks of it he was sure that not even those close to the pair would be safe or those in the development territory would be safe. All hell would break loose and both of them would be at the centre of it thriving of it. It wasn't long after that the bell rang signalling it was the end of lunch and time for the students to go back to class, Stone Cold would be sure to be patrolling the corridors to make sure no student was skivvying from the lessons, he had always said he would be happy to stun them and then send the back to their classes once they had come around, that was something all of them had taken seriously.
Once the Becky and Finn had left to go to their next class Booker smiled and carried on with his job of putting up the mini display, as he was doing so his mind began to wonder about the reactions of the students when they found out the surprise that was coming their way, he too wanted to see them again and catch up with them, he knew Punk and AJ were engaged and we're planning their wedding but he had no idea how the other members of the wrestling group or misfits were doing, he wondered if the small group knew they had inspired future students to do what they had done. Booker knew that Stone Cold was interested to see where they were now as was William Regal was ecstatic when he found out his fellow friends daughter had chose to go to WWE High, he hadn't see his god daughter since she was nine and was gob smacked at how much she had changed and become her own person.
After he had finished the board he put all of the equipment he had used back into the box, and close the plastic display protector, he smiled when he looked over it, actually being excited about seeing the small Alpha wrestling team again, he had kept track of what they had been up to as had Vince since he also owned the company most of them were in, he was a man that knew how to run a business, since he owned one of the biggest wrestling companies in the world as well as a school that teaches wrestling as one of it's activities. Vince had told all the teachers that the students had to be in the main assembly hall by a certain time so he could deliver the new of their special guest arriving, he wanted to give them something to look forward to something that would motivate them other than knowing some of their inspirations went to the school that they now attend.
A Few Hours Later
A couple of hours later seen the students in the assembly hall all seated in the black steal chairs that were provided for them, dressed in their own clothes since Vince didn't see the point of uniform, he wanted to encourage them to be themselves since they were going to be professional wrestlers or something where uniform was not a mandatory thing. He waited for all the students to quieten down before he took hold of the microphone a slight smile on his face, he honestly couldn't wait to see their reactions when he told them what the special surprise he had arranged was, he knew it was probably the last thing they were expecting, but when he made a promise that he would do something he would do everything his power as head master to keep to that promise.
"As you all know three months ago I put out a poll to see what would motivate you all into following your chosen paths and bringing your dreams a reality, 75% voted on bringing people who had achieved their dreams back to the school, when I asked for an example you said the Alpha team from five years ago" said Vince seeing them perk up a little bit at mentioning them, "I promised you I would do everything in my power to bring whatever you want true, so in two weeks time, The Alpha Team from five years ago will be standing where I am right now, and will be here to talk with you all in groups and individually, they agreed to treat this like a homecoming event, where you are the special guest instead of them, like you are the troops they go to entertain at Tribute To The Troops" added Vince hearing the students of the school shocked gasps at what he had done for them.
It wasn't long before the began to cheer and clap, the shock had finally set in and they were over joyed to learn the surprise he had spent the last couple of months arranging was what they as the students had voted for. Although Vince wouldn't admit it he had missed seem a team wanting to wrestle because they wanted to not because they had to. The senior year had created a fair few memories, there was the time when Daniel Bryan campaigned to push back the prom so that Paige and AJ could attend, he went as far as self-tapping himself to a lamp post with a sign to get his point across, then you had Paige with the mistletoe, he was sure she still had something against the plant. There was also the formation of the original outcasts or misfits, which he was aiming to bring them back since they understood doing what they loved and being themselves better than anyone, they had done it and still do it.
Vince had released them after that giving them the rest of the day off, he knew they had been working hard over the months, so that was their treat, only he had told them not to expect all the time, he knew that was all his students would be talking about for a couple of weeks maybe longer, how he the headmaster had kept to his promise and done what the students wanted. After the students had gone home, Booker T and Stone Cold Steve Austin came together with Mick Foley and Vince to set the wrestling hall up, although he had said they were coming in a two weeks, that was actually the rest of the misfits, the wrestling team would be there tomorrow, the ones that weren't part of the misfits would go back to work while the ones who were which was a good three quarters would stay with the school and help those to understand it was okay to be different.
Oddly he was looking forward to what the next month or so brought them, he knew the students were likely to be overwhelmed by all of the sudden events coming, and the wrestling team had training to get on with which hopefully the could train with and learn from the team they wanted with them. The school also had their exams to take, as well as their own prom to arrange, and graduation, as well as deciding what they wanted to do with their future, were they going to go on to college, do a gap year to do something they wanted to do, or go straight into work. Although Vince knew for sure was that it was going to be busy, the wrestling team wouldn't be that bad, but reuniting the misfits meant that the jokes were on, Vince had seriously considered making a show with all the pranks they are apart of, they always said Swerved instead of pranked, so he was intrigued on what they would get up to upon being reunited in the school they had meant and become friends at, the school where the friendship had been tested so many times yet they had not broken apart, but ended up stronger like a small family. He knew having the wrestling team back would be extraordinary but having the original misfits back well that would be a unique opportunity and one that he wasn't about to pass up.
"Then, Now and Forever" said Vince to himself, he smiled to himself. "I have some of the greatest students here including The Undertaker, Rock, even Stone Cold, but there have been friendships forged here that would last forever, and now I have the opportunity to help my students even more, yes, the students are what really make up the school and it's slogan. They are what Then Now and Forever stand for" added Vince thinking how much the school had come on since it was opened all those years ago, it had gone from a dimly lit small building with where few could afford to go, to the top school of wrestling that produced some of the best wrestlers the world had ever seen, that was what made him the proudest, that he could be thee through it all, to see the school grow and the many different student pass through, each holding a spot in his memory and the student books, even the lucky few being in the student hall of fame.
Like I did with WWE High, I will put all the music mentioned and all wrestlers mentioned at the end so you know, I will also put polls up through the story, but for now may you answer the question of which story you think AJ and Punk's wedding should be mentioned in, WWE High: 5 Years Later (in which case you will get what I imagine a wedding to be like) or WWE High: Next Generation (which will be a memory mentioned at some point). Thank you for reading.
