1998
"And the crowd goes wild" I yelled standing on the top rope as my best friend laid in the middle of the ring prepared to take this frog splash
I jumped off the ropes bringing my knees to my chest before extending them and landing on top of Joe I grabbed his leg and hooked it before yelling out "1…2…3"
I jumped up and grabbed my dad's championship belt and climbing on the ropes holding it high and proud over my head before mocking the cheering of a crowd I turned and jumped off the ropes and strutted over to Joe as he still laid there I smirked at him pretending to have a microphone before leaning down and saying
"Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your"
"SHAYLEE" my dad's deep voice yelled causing me to jump back "Watch yourself miss" he said before turning back to Vince and Sika
"Sorry" I yelled out before hearing Leati laugh
"Shut up big head" I said sitting next to him
"Why do you always get to win?" he asked with a sad look
"Oh, Le don't worry you can win next time" I said throwing my arm over his shoulder
"Promise?" he asked holding his pinky finger up I smiled before grabbing it kissing his cheek and rolling out of the ring going towards my father
"You're a natural kid" Vince said to me
In that exact moment I was speechless and had a new-found determination in my heart and fire in my soul I knew in that moment that I would work for the WWE one day and I was going to bust my ass to do it
2004
I convinced my mom to pack up and move to Pensacola so me and Leati could spend are senior year together before we got thrown into the real world.
On the first day of school I grabbed a paper off the bullet board and made my why towards the gym I felt someone grab my bag and pull me back before feeling Leati's arm go around my shoulders
"Shay as your best friend I fully support you and anything you want to do but are you a hundred percent sure about this?' he asked grabbing the paper from my hand
"Yes Le I am" I said snatching the paper back
"Ok" he said once we reached the gym I just want you to keep in mind this school is a lot different than the one you went to in Texas" he told me
"You mean its sexist" I said with my eyebrows raised "Le don't worry I got this" I said giving him a hug "Wish me luck" I said pushing the door opened
"You don't need it pretty girl" he said smiling "I'll see you tonight" he added before leaving
I walked into the gym and got strange looks from the boys in there I put my bag down and pulled out my wrestling boots before going towards the bleachers and sitting down
"Are you lost?" one kid asked I just ignored him and laced my boots
"You do realize this is wrestling try outs" another kid says before looking at his friends
"Yeah cheerleader tryouts are down the hall" he said I rolled my eyes and stood up and started to stretch before the coach walked in.
"Alright gentlemen I'm coach Mark" he said looking around the room until his eyes landed on me "What do you think you're doing?" he asked
"Trying out for the team" I told him with a proud look
"Yeah I don't think so there will not be a girl wrestling for me but I do have a water girl position available" he said which caused all the boys to laugh
I grabbed my stuff and ran to the parking lot and climbed in the car and let the tears fall
2010
I sat at my desk drumming my pen against the wood when I heard my phone ding I picked it up reading the text message from Leati I dialed his number and waited for him to pick
"Shay" he said into the phone I could tell he was extremely excited about something
"What is so important you need me to call you right away?" I asked
"I just got singed to the WWE" he said into the phone "Well their development FCW but still I am getting a shot" he said
"Wait what?" I asked shocked
"I know right isn't it exacting?" he asked
"Yeah" I said "Congrats, hey I need to get back to work I'll call you later" I said before slamming the phone down
It wasn't that I wasn't happy for him I'm over the moon happy but I have been trying for years to get a contract with them and keep getting shot down and then he gets one on his first try I sigh and turn back to work before hearing my phone ring again
"Hello" I mumbled into the phone
"Wow" my dad said "Don't be too excited you might kill me" he added laughing
"Sorry" I said with chuckle "What's up?" I asked
"Well I was in town and was seeing if you wanted to have dinner tonight" he said to me
"Yeah of course" I said to him "Meet you at our place?" I asked
"Yup see you tonight" he said before hanging up the phone
After work I drove to Paul's diner and walked in waving at Kathy who was behind the counter and going to the corner booth
"Hi Shay" Kathy said walking up "The usual" she asked
"Times two" I said smiling she nodded and walked off
About five minutes later my dad walked in and sat across from me
"I ordered already" I told him "So Stone Cold how are you?" I asked with a smile
"I'm good busy but good" he said looking at me "How's my baby girl?" he asked
"Good" I told him
"Look Shay let me just get to it I got a weird phone call from Joe said you were upset so talk to me" he said looking at me of course Joe called him I rolled my eyes and laid my head back before looking up with a few tears in my eyes
"it's just I been busting my ass for years to get the WWE to notice me and I constantly get told no or shut down then he walks in and gets handed a contract like its nothing it's not fair" I said "I know it's not his fault it just sucks" I added
"Well Ms. Pride have you ever thought of putting your real last name on the application" he said taking a bite of his burger
"Dad I love you and I love that I am the daughter of Stone Cold but this was the one thing I wanted to do on my own" I said honestly "I didn't want anyone thinking I got stuff handed to me because my last name Is Austin" I added
"Shaylee Morgan listen to me you truly are one of the most talented people I have ever seen you have more wrestling talent in that pinky then most people do in their whole bodies but babe even if you do get in without my name people are going to find out and still say those things anyway so you might as well just accept it now" he told me
"Now my Shaylee would go down there kick in the door and demanded her shot" he said smiling at me
"Your right" I said smiling at him "Thanks daddy I love you" I told him
"Love you too baby girl" he said as we finished eating dinner.
