Destiny, Dreams & DDTs is a work of fan fiction based, in part, on characters from World Wrestling Entertainment. The story is partially based on kayfabe and partially based on reality. For the purposes of this story, the matches are real, not predetermined.
Unlike most of the wrestling fanfics which appear on the Internet, the primary focus of this story will be the actual matches. There will be backstage interactions and other story lines as well, but my intention is focus on the actual wrestling action. I'm writing this story as an experiment, to get a feel for writing an action story of this type. If it works well, I may write a novel along the same lines using 100% original characters.
I intend to keep the use of backstage lingo to a minimum but it will occasionally be necessary to make the story interesting. In the event that I use a word that might not be familiar to a casual (or non-) wrestling fan, I'll update the glossary in this file. The wrestling moves specifically named in this story will be capitalized (i.e. Body Slam) and any original moves created by me will be included in the glossary.

Glossary
- dark match
- dark matches are the matches that occur at a TV taping but aren't broadcast.
- jobber
- jobbers are the guys who rarely or never win. There purpose is to let new wrestlers look good.
- kayfabe
- The easiest way to define kayfabe is "fake". If a wrestler acts like his character instead of his "real" self when away from the ring, he's keeping kayfabe.
- Ragnorak
- This is Arson's finishing maneuver. Picture a suplex where you let their body fall backwards yet keep their head held tight. You then lean forward quickly, causing their head to bend in one direction while their body falls in the other, snapping their neck hard. You then stand up quickly and shove backwards so that they collapse over onto their face.
