Daisy's POV
5/12/11
Orlando, Florida
"Alright so now that it's all mixed up, we just have to wait for about forty-five or until it's golden. Man, this is going to be so delicious. I can taste it already." I heard Velvet speak excitedly beside me as I put the pan into the oven and closed the door. It was barely eight thirty in the morning but Jamie and I have been hanging out with each other since about sevenish. I am really beginning to question how or why I am up. The blonde woman messaged me about fifteen minutes after I got dressed and asked if I was up; apparently Sarah was being a grumpybutt and Jamie couldn't get back to sleep. I also wanted to take the opportunity to make a surprise breakfast for Maria since she always does it for me, my teammate volunteered to help. Not even eight in the morning, we drove out to whatever grocery store was closest to the hotel and debating on whatever the fuck that we were going to cook. I wanted something that wasn't too difficult to make but at least is somewhat challenging; I decided on a sausage hash brown casserole. "Wait, you forgot the most important part!" She exclaimed randomly which almost scared me.
I turned over to look at her. "I did?" I am pretty sure that I followed the instructions to a tee because I really want this to be perfect for Maria, she only deserves the best. I already know that I am whipped, proud of it too if that means I can call her my girl and vice versa.
"Duh stupid, you almost forgot our special ingredient!" Jamie said holding on a little container of bacon bits. It wasn't on the recipe but she thought it would go great with the casserole.
"Oh shit, I can't believe that I did. Hold on." With that I quickly put on the oven mitts and opened the oven and placed the pan on the oven. "How silly of me, do the honors toots."
"With pleasure because I love me some bacon," Velvet responded with a wide grin as she worked on opening the container, she screwed the lid back on. Whenever she finally got it open, she started sprinkling some where the blonde saw fit. That was... until Jamie managed to completely knock off the lid and dumped a majority of the bacon onto the casserole. Her brown eyes looked innocently over to me, "whoops.."
"Now it's ruined.."
"Nope it's not, just improvise and well.. spread it out across the top. That way it looks more... natural." See this is why Jamie is starting to become my best friend, not many people can understand me like she does. Plus whenever we aren't with our girlfriends, we are usually with each other and sometimes Lauren whenever she wants to chill. Her way of thinking is definitely my style as we both proceeded to spread the bits across so there wasn't so many in one spot. Once that was said and done, now the casserole is going back into the oven and hopefully doesn't take too long to cook.
"Hell yeah, so JamieBug what are your plans for today?" I asked making my way back over toward the couch, the blonde followed behind and took a seat next to me.
"No clue, I am just going with the flow today. What about you?"
"I believe that Brooke is wanting to practice some more since she is on the card tonight. I said that I would meet her at the arena later and work with her. She's improved a lot more than what she thinks with her skills." Apparently I had started working with Lisa to train Tessmacher while I was under the influence of Katarina's spell, I don't know if I offered or if she had asked. Maybe I should remember to ask her later whenever I see her. All this started because Brooke is still green even though she was in WWE for a bit, she hardly wrestled and mainly was a part of Extreme Expose. But I admire that she wants to strive to improve, and hopefully gains confidence in herself. The girls said she was really nervous during her first match in Impact, I believe it was a tag match for the Knockout's Tag Title tournament and whatnot. We eventually need to develop a proper finisher for her.
"Can I join you? I could text Laur and see if she would want to practice with us. Angie needs to learn how to work our new entrance."
"Knowing Lauren, she will probably be like 'no, I am not going to dance like an idiot'.." I spoke trying to imitate my best impression of our teammate which got the blonde woman to laugh. It's true, Angelina can really be super serious about the smallest of things. I guess someone has too. "But of course you can JamJam, the more the merrier. And besides, if Angie says no then it could just be an entrance for you and I anyways."
"I am down for that regardless of what Angie says. Let me text her and see if she wants to come over." I could only nod my head to the blonde woman while my attention drifted back to the tv screen. I believe at least twenty minutes had at least passed since the current program was over and the new one was starting. Jamie continued to type away on her phone for a little bit, I am honestly surprised that Maria isn't even up yet. Normally the redhead is up hours before I am, she is normally the one scolding me for sleeping in so late. But it's honestly a good thing as well because I really want to surprise her with this. There was a knock at the door that even caught Velvet off guard so I can assume that it wasn't Lauren unless she hurried over.
"I got it." I told the blonde since she wasn't very fond of leaving the couch at the moment. I wasn't either but whoever it was couldn't get in unless I let them. Getting off the sofa, I made my way over toward the door and opened up to see Candice with her daughter in her arms, however it was the person behind her that surprised me. It's not to see that she's hanging out with girls she didn't get to know that well but Tryhard of all people. She wants some of Candy, doesn't she? Wouldn't surprise me. "Hey ladies, come in."
"Cute apron," Candice playfully scoffs, before entering the living room; she immediately goes to start a conversation with Jamie. What's wrong with my apron? I have had this thing for years, it was a shade of light purple and had 'Kiss the Cook' written on it in big, white letters. She's just jealous that I rock it so well.
My eyes alternated back to Christy, who only grinned looking at the apron. Dear god, what is that woman thinking? "I mean, Maria would kill me but I can keep a secret if you can." I just stared blankly at her, she really is something else. "Just kidding, but it does cover too much for my liking," The ring announcer snickers and walks past me, making sure that she smacked my ass in the process. I can't even.
The sound of footsteps attracted my attention, I turned back to look in the hallway to see Lauren standing there. She had a small grin on her face even looked like the blonde did her hair and makeup just to come see us. I'm touched. Those blue eyes looked me over which I am assuming was to look at the apron. "No." Angelina walks into the room, I shut the door with a sigh. I can't have any fun, can I?
"Lauren, babygirl, I was just going to text you again and see if you wanted to go to the gym with us. We could totally work on the new entrance." Velvet said excitedly which got Angelina to smile slightly. I think it could be fun to dance for our entrances to switch it up a bit. "That or we could practice while Daisy is working with her 'star pupil'." That of course attracted Hemme's attention even more because 'Tessmacher is her favorite subject' according to the redhead.
"Why would I want to do that stupid dance? What was wrong with our old one?"
"Nothing was wrong with it, it's just fun to mix it up every so often. I mean, you can still do the ass shaking and all that. It's just not my thing." I stated honestly, holding my hand out to the blonde, who was sitting on the couch. Angelina arched a brow before her eyes looked down at my hand like she didn't know what I wanted. "Get up, dance with me."
"I don't want to dance like an idiot, you would probably just try to motorboat me or something." Well I guess I guessed half of what her response would be but honestly that last part had never crossed my mind until now. I could only grin at that thought, but then Maria would kill me, so I probably shouldn't no matter how tempting those funbags look.
"Now that you mention it.." Velvet mumbled softly to herself which got Lauren to glare over at her best friend.
"Considering you are wearing that apron, I can assume that Maria is going to have to order takeout.." Candice teases which got me to let out a grunt. Alright, I get it Candycane.. I am not the greatest cook in the world probably the worst one out of the Knockouts. But I am trying, it's not my fault I was spoiled and accustomed to always eating out or other people cooking for me.
"No because I am helping her." Velvet remarked, pointing to herself with a cocky tone.
"Yeah, it's going to be a complete bust if these two are working together." Angie decided to add her two cents in which got the former Divas to snicker. I know for a fact that Jamie has a big passion for cooking, it's her top three behind animals and wrestling. Her and Sarah cook together all the time, and it's great tasting food.
"I am an excellent cook, don't be such an ass Lauren." The two toned blonde sassed while they both playfully stuck their tongues out at each other. I still am surprised that these two weren't ever a thing but Angie had to be straight. They would have been cute, but JamJam and Sarah have a certain flair about their relationship, it seems familiar. "I have never seen Tryhard here cook anything in her life."
"Oh that's because I skip straight dessert." Christy's eyes looked over to Candice, she purred the sentence softly.
"I am married, Tryhard. Try anything and I will set you straight.." She sent a glare over to the redhead, Christy's eyes darted elsewhere. Trust me Hemme baby, you don't want to even try. That one can be sweet and innocent one second and vicious the next.
"Noted.."
"So when did you ladies actually set that thing in the oven because we haven't seen you check it once since we have been here?"
"..." There was that realization between the both of us, I didn't take note of the time we placed and judging by that face neither did Jamie. How the hell did we not pay attention to the time. "Fuck!" Both of us sped over to the oven and scrambled to get the mittens on. Finally the blonde was able to turn off the oven and remove the casserole, setting it on the counter. I could only cringe my nose in disgust at the mostly burned meal. God damn it, now that this is ruined, I don't have anything to fix Maria for breakfast. Well I guess this is definitely a learning experience and it didn't start a fire in the hotel room. "My masterpiece is ruined!" Velvet whined.
"Our.. masterpiece.."
"Yeah that's what I meant."
The sound of the bedroom door opening attracted my attention along with the others which means that we probably woke up Ria. I hope she isn't cranky. I don't even think she noticed the others standing around me because she just walks out of the room and leans herself against me. Sleepy Maria is always so adorable. I am blessed that I get to lay next to her every night now especially since the redhead has the habit of wearing my shirts to bed. It doesn't even bother me, the shirt she has on now barely goes to her thighs. But it wouldn't be Ria without her being a fucking tease, I am aware that all she is wearing is her underwear underneath that shirt. Patience Nicole, the right time will come and you will claim that ass again. But I swear to God, Hemme better not be trying to take a peek at Maria's bum, I will knock some sense into her. "Mm.. Has the world ended or something? You are never up before me." My girlfriend chuckle slightly while rubbing her eyes, she glanced over and that's whenever she noticed the others. "How long have you guys been here?"
"We just got here a few minutes ago." Candice responded as she bounced her daughter in her lap.
"I hope we didn't wake you up Maria, I have been hanging around with Daisy for a couple hours."
"You are all good Jamie, I had woken up and noticed that Daisy wasn't beside me.. I got a little worried because I am always the first one up." I didn't mean too scare her though, just wanted to do something nice that turned into a disaster. The redhead walked over to the kitchen, looked over at the casserole. "Who tried to start a fire in my kitchen? It smells awful."
"I did.." I spoke with a laugh, my girlfriend blinked at me a few times like she didn't believe me.
"Seriously though..who was it, do it in your own room.."
"Babe, it was me. I… I wanted to make you something nice since you always cook for me and I thought that I would let you rest and sleep in for once. Well.. I messed it up. Even with Jamie's help, I can't cook for shit."
It actually bothers me now how bad I am at something like this, I am almost twenty-nine and I am not capable of making a fucking casserole. That's pathetic, alright I am going to have to learn from Jamie, Sarah, Lisa, hell Maria could even teach me. Maybe I need to read cookbooks instead. Ew.. Reading is for prisoners. The redhead let out a small chuckle before placing a small kiss on my lips. "It's the thought that counts. You are such a sweetheart. Next time, leave the cooking to me."
"Fine fine, I try my best for you..."
A little later..
After ordering some room service since Jamie and I kinda fucked up breakfast, the whole BP squad decided to head out and go to the gym. Whenever we arrived, I met up with Lisa and we did our workout routine which probably lasted about an hour and a half. Not going to lie, I think that I hurt my shoulder because of how everything is a competition between Vic and I. I think the Black Widow is my favorite person that I can go toe to toe with in the ring, there is just something about wrestling her that lights a fire in me. I think it's the same for her too. After the workout, Brooke was there and ready to practice which lasted about an hour; during that time period Velvet and Angie were practicing together. Mickie had followed her into the gym and I have realized that those two have been hanging around a lot together. According to Lauren, they are banging and that's why the bleach blonde had gotten a room with Thea because she heard all the sex. What I did notice was that Tryhard didn't come down here like the redhead said that she would. That's a first, normally Hemme hears Tessmacher's name and comes running. Angie still doesn't want to do the dance..I retreated to the locker room for a quick shower before I head home to spend time with my girlfriend for a little bit before the show. Unless Candice is there then I probably won't get to have too much privacy. The walk was short back to the BP locker room but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched but whenever I turn back there was no one there. God damn it Nicole, your paranoia is getting the better of you. Why are you so terrified to walk at your job by yourself, you don't need a babysitter..
I decided to leave my suitcase at the arena because I am being lazy and really didn't want to carry it back home. The hallway was once again was silent, only the occasional sound of screams and laughter from the girls at the gym. Something else echoed through the halls, the sound of my own footsteps but they sounded almost like heels tapping against the concrete floor.. The thing was that I wasn't hearing heels, I was wearing normal tennis shoes. Which means someone's following me. Not wasting another second, I immediately turned around to see what I wasn't expecting, just an empty hallway. What? I could have sworn that I was hearing footsteps that weren't my own. Was it really my imagination? God damn, I am really pathetic. I released a small sigh of relief and attempted to calm myself down, this definitely wasn't me. That lasted for about five seconds because whenever I turned around I was face to face with the person that has tormented me for so long. Those icy blue eyes stared straight through and a smirk crept across those lips of hers. I wanted to scream out some kind of response for making my heart stop for what felt like an eternity. Katarina's expertise still lives up to her expectations with being able to appear and disappear anywhere with ease. "What, not going to say anything? That's not how you welcome someone especially someone that you know oh so well."
"What do you want?" Even though I can probably already answer that question.
"Don't play dumb, you could have answered that yourself." Winter scoffed, placing a hand against her hip with that same smile on her face. "I am here to knock some sense back into you and help you acknowledge the false reality you are living in because of your mistakes."
"The only mistake I made was ever letting the spell take me over, if it wasn't for that then none of this would have ever occurred."
A chuckle escaped her lips, "Well obviously not love, because you had to go disrupt the balance of the Universe. If you wouldn't have taken that drink, it would have been that worthless redhead that would be under my spell. I don't regret the twist of it at all because Maria really doesn't have any uses besides laying on her back.. Right.." Oh this stupid bitch is really trying to push my buttons, no one ever talks bad about my girlfriend and gets away with it. "Oh, you mad? We all know that it's the truth, I mean that was definitely was one of your uses as well."
"It sounds like someone is a little jealous that I am no longer your little puppet and back with Maria..Maybe you are just mad that she's the woman I love and not a fucking psychopath like you."
Katarina didn't do anything else but laugh at my last statement, I should know this bitch as well as Daffney but her unpredictability makes her insanely difficult to read. "Jealous? Why would I be jealous of your relationship with that useless trash? I am more or less furious that she ruined the bond that we shared. It broke something that was unstoppable, and it ended my new reality.. Because of your 'girlfriend' and her stupid friends, they took away everything that I worked so hard to achieve. The truth of the matter is that no matter how you look at it, you are blinded by lies so you can no longer see the truth." Okay, where is she going to go with this now? Why am I still listening to whatever she has to say? "Before you stare at me with that stupid, confused look on your face and say 'what truth'.. Allow me to elaborate and maybe it might sink into your thick skull. No matter how hard you try to paint this illusion with your ex girlfriend, the fact of the matter is that we are still bonded together. Even with that spell being lifted, I know your true feelings.. feelings that no one know except for myself. You see, our time together was definitely beneficial to me because I know how your head works." She slowly rose her hand up and obnoxiously thumped my forehead, before her finger went down to my chest, Katarina poked it with another sly grin on her face. "Even with Maria being a cheap replacement, you are denying that we actually belong together. But soon that will be changed because whenever I get the opportunity, Maria is going to regret the day she decided to interfere with my plans. The little bitch is going to know her place-" I have heard enough of this bitch's nonsense and I think my temper is going to bite me in the ass. My hand clenched into a fist, and I swung as I hard as I could at the European woman but Winter just grabbed my wrist before it connected with her stupid face. "Oh? Did I push the Maria button?"
"Don't you ever talk about my Ria ever again, I don't want to ever hear you say her name.. or else-"
"Or else what? Maria Maria Maria Maria.. What are you going to do about it?" She taunted, letting go of my hand. Oh Katarina is asking for it and who am I not to deliver? I swung widely again only to miss with the witchy bitch moved out of the way. Her fist connected seconds later with my stomach causing me to gasp out and instinctively wrap my arms around it. That actually fucking hurt! "Nothing, that's what I thought. Love, just remember that you made me do this and whatever follows." Katarina took the liberty of shoving me back so much that I actually hit the wall and a pain shot up my shine. I wasn't even looking at her but I could hear her footsteps approaching until her legs were in my view. "I thought you would put up more of a fight than this, but I assume not because I probably know you better than your own girlfriend at this point." I remained silent after that and clearly this annoyed the European woman as she placed her finger under my chin to tilt my head up. This way I was forced to look her in the eyes. "You look at me whenever I talk to you."
Her lips were inches away from mine, my back was pressed against the wall. My heart was racing, my body was refusing to move like it was completely paralyzed. Why does she have to do this to me? "What's the matter, love, cat got your tongue, hm? What happened to always being all talk?" I wanted to retort to that statement but I was tongue-tied. I have been free from her for almost two months but yet my body still wants to respond to her. But she never moved from the exact spot but I was able to grip onto her shirt. Please. Just stop the madness. My grip only tighten but my body still didn't want to push her back; that's all I wanted was just that and run away. "Why haven't you acted against me, love? You don't want to push me away or are you wanting something more? ...You are falling deeper into the brink of insanity. Were they not able to save you or are you allowing yourself to slowly descend down? I don't understand why you are trying to fight this, I can help you without any kind of spells or medicine. They are lying about keeping you safe. Where are your so called friends now, not here? Sooner or later they are just going to leave you, Maria will probably disappear again to go to another wrestling promotion.. Fall in love with another woman. It might be a repeat of the same cycle."
My eyes were glued down to the ground, I couldn't look at the stupid bitch any longer but my body refused to move away from her. Even now, she can still get to me and make me feel powerless; if I didn't have Ria or any of my friends.. I would probably end up falling in her trap again. But even though I know that her words would never come to reality, doubt creeps up in my mind. What if Maria actually decides she no longer loves me once she signs somewhere else if she does? Would she really throw away all the fighting Ria did for me? I know that Maria loves me, she does. Daisy, calm down..Kat is trying to get inside your head. The second I looked back up at Katarina is whenever I noticed that someone was heading toward us. What is the woman doing around here by herself? An almost annoyed expression was printed across her face as she stood behind Winter, slowly her dark eyes drifted to me before placing her hand onto the shoulder of the Heel Knockout. It caused Kat to flinch, she snapped herself around, almost swinging in the process, to be face to face with none other than the Queen of the Mountain, Karen Jarrett. "Winter. Were you honestly about to swing at me? Do you even know who I am?" For the first time that I can remember the witchy bitch clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Wait a second, is Kat actually scared right now? What is it about the female Jarrett that is scaring her? She's so tense right now, I have never seen her like this before, but if it scares her, should I be concerned at all? "Exactly. You know your place especially considering that you are standing on thin ice, one crack and you fall. I can make that happen Katarina, I just have to tell Dixie that you are disobeying her orders and almost attempted to swing at me. Your sneaky bullshit is over, sweetie. Now get to stepping, if I see you anywhere near Daisy again, you can kiss your job goodbye." Karen motioned at the European Woman to shoo, which surprisingly she started walking away not before sending my last glare my way. I turned my head, and watched the psychopath storm off not even giving some kind of snarky remarks.
Once Katarina disappeared from our sights, I looked back over to the Queen of the Mountain. "Thanks."
Karen chuckled slightly which caught me off guard, she scoffed quickly. "Whatever, I did it because I had too. She doesn't run this place. But don't worry about it, she shouldn't bother you again." That's where you are wrong, for some reason Winter has her eyes on me. What the hell makes me so special? Ugh whatever. "Try not to be a damsel anymore, alright. I have better places to be now, bye Mini Rena." The brunette walked away with a confident strut, she had the nerve to bump into in the process; I could only watch in what could only be bewilderment. It's not that I am ungrateful that she helped me get away from that bitch but the way she composed herself then like I am inferior compared to her. And I don't understand why she called me that, I am not a mini version of my Ma. We are completely different people but this wasn't the only time she compared me to her. Whatever, I don't like it that but it's not important.
After everything that has happened here already, I think my best option is to retreat back to the hotel room for now until closer to the show. Why did Katarina have to show up now and more importantly, why did Karen interfere? Dixie is honestly keeping her word about my safety being her best interest and making sure that bitch stays away from me. Even still her words were able to sink into me like always. She always gets in. Fuck, I should have stayed with Jamie and Lauren, even Brooke would have been better than walking alone. "Hey Daisy." I heard a familiar but unexpected voice call out to me as started my way down the hallway. I snapped my head around to see Kurt walking over to me, I am assuming that he just arrived here because Angle wasn't working out whenever we were. "I am so glad that I found you before the show."
"I don't know if I should be terrified or not, Angle."
"Don't be, follow me..but you have to keep this a secret." The man said with a grin that almost made me chuckle, my eyes looked directly behind Kurt to see another set eyes glued to me, staring daggers through me. Her hands placed softly on her hips as she mouthed something that I couldn't quite understand. I almost wanted to speak out to her, but I remained quiet. Angle noticed my silence and his blue eyes looked back at his ex-wife before gently grabbing onto my wrist. "Ignore her, what she doesn't know won't kill her." Karen only stared for a couple more seconds before turning her heels and walking the opposite way and disappearing from our line of sight. "She acts like I haven't known you way before you even came to TNA, what has it been like over five years or so."
"Something like that, I know that Randy was locked in a feud with you for several months so that meant by default at some point, I was going to get the Angle Lock." I spoke with a half laugh with got Kurt to let out a laugh of his own. If I recalled correctly, the first match between the two was at Wrestlemania 22 which was a triple threat match involving Rey Mysterio. Rey had won the Royal Rumble entering in at number two and lasting all the way through, Orton had picked lucky number thirty but still lost. He decided to challenge the 619 master at the new pay per view, I believe that was No Way Out and if Randy won, he would be the new number one contender for the World HeavyWeight Championship. Being his on-screen girlfriend, I definitely made sure that he was successful in beating Mysterio. My first Wrestlemania and I was valeting for a World Heavyweight Championship match and it was several matches after our stablemates performed with that excellent hardcore match against Foley. Sure we didn't come out on top and I was on the receiving end of a 619 but it's a day that I would never forget.
"Not like I would actually break your ankle though even though that ECW crowd wanted to me to so bad."
"Oh dear god, don't remind me..that was one of my only times in front of the crazy ass fans of ECW. Paulie is just super lucky I didn't punch that fucker that poured his drink on me. It took everything I had to hold Randy back from killing the guy." It was only the second match one the card if you counted the first match that didn't even last a minute. That crowd was fucking insane for Kurt and despised the whole Rated RKO stable as a whole, my first time in front of the crowd and I was hated almost as much as Cena. That is saying something. Since I was caught in the Angle Lock, I wasn't able to help Randy and he was forced to tap out to the submission hold. I was use to taking in the fans insults, however one man yelling caused me to snap my head back at him while I was helping my 'boyfriend'. Before I could utter a word out, he called me a whore and tossed his drink on me. God, I have never seen Randy so mad in my life. I was furious. Thankfully Heyman was able to calm me down and by the time that Adam and Amy were on, the guy was gone so I assumed they expelled him from the arena.. Never again..
With another quick motion, Kurt started walking toward the parking lot, looking down at his phone. "She said that it would be a few more minutes but should be here." Not really saying anything more, I just gave a slight nod and followed behind him. It makes me ever more curious about who the hell am I suppose to be meeting, does that mean this woman is the supposed Mistress? But I can only assume that it's no one that's familiar with this company. Maybe it's a Knockout that is making a return that I have never met before, guess time will tell. There was a long strand of silence maybe lasting three or four minutes as the two of us waited for her car to arrive; I have no idea what the fuck I am looking for specifically so I am assuming next car I see is her. Looking down at my phone, I skimmed through to make sure that Maria hadn't messaged me or anything, last I knew Candy was still there. Nothing. "She's here." The sound of tires traveling slowly across the gravel attracted my attention, it was a black car with slightly tinted windows so I couldn't see who was inside. "I hope you don't mind but I brought a friend along."
The door clicked opened as Kurt walked over toward the driver side door in order to assist the woman out of the vehicle. The first thing that I noticed was her long, flowing, black hair that was a little bit shorter than mine. But once she fully stood out of the car, I realized that the mystery woman was a couple inches taller than I was, she had to be at least six feet tall. A massive chest a slightly muscular frame to match, after mumbling something to Kurt, her attention drifted over to me. But that was definitely not mysterious, I know that face even if her eyes are hiding behind a pair of shades, her cheeks were slightly chunkier than years ago. "Not at all."
"Well I am glad that you think that way, allow me to introduce you to my friend-"
"Joan.." The woman smiled, taking the glasses off almost like she was surprised that I knew her actual name. The Ninth Wonder of the World, probably the most dominating woman in the history of Women's Wrestling was actually here for reasons that I am not sure of. Chyna. How has it been since I last saw her?
Kurt's eyes alternated between the two of us. "Wait a second, you two already know each other.. Where's the fun in this now?" His tone was slightly disappointed but that didn't stop us from laughing at his goofy nature. "Well anyways, I will trust that you will be a great host for Joan, I will see you guys in a bit, I have something to attend to first." We both watched him walk over toward his car in the parking lot and with him leaving our sights, I decided that I would take Chyna to the big locker room for us girls and talk to her for a bit.
We both slowly started to making our way back into the building with Chyna following behind me. It was silent for only a couple seconds before she spoke. "Oh well well I remember you, you are Rena's little girl. Daisy, right? I hope I remembered your name if not this is embarrassing." To my surprise, she actually remembered me from almost thirteen years ago. I couldn't help but flash a small smile back at her. "Nice to see that you actually took my advice after all."
"I did and I really do thank you for that., seriously."
"I guess I was two for two when it came to scouting out legends in the making. Considering who your mother is, you did a complete one eighty and took a route that I am glad to see you in. I would have never guessed that Daisy Sanders is the daughter of Sable. I am definitely impressed with your work here and in WWE." Wait, who was the other one she is talking about? I feel like I should know the answer to this already. Jesus Christ, I can feel my cheeks getting hotter for some reason. Am I blushing? Now I am a flustered mess because she just said she is impressed with my work, pull yourself together Nicole. "How long has it been.."
"Over 12 years, Joan."
Flashback
August 30th, 1998
Madison Square Garden, New York, New York
"Come on sweetie, don't be so sour about this. It's New York City after all, isn't that exciting?" I heard my mother say to me as I could only grumble in protest. One of the biggest shows of the year, an arena that was going to be filled with over twenty thousand people in about an hour. Summerslam was about to start and I really didn't want to be here. I would rather have been a home by myself than be stuck here with a bunch of strangers. Sure I love wrestling and all but because of wrestling, my parents are gone days even weeks at a time. Thankfully I stay at my best friend's house and that's where I watch them every night they are on.
"Not really Ma, why couldn't I have just stayed over at Christian's house? I mean that's what I did for all the other shows." I was proud of what they were doing sure, I always will be. But this tonight was going to be this really awesome party that I wanted to go too, sure there is going to be alcohol and stuff. I might have wanted to try some, his bro says that it all depends on what you drink.
"Because Nicole, this is one of the most exciting nights of the year, plus I don't know if I am exactly fond of those boys that Christian hangs out with. Those boys smoke and I just don't want you picking up that habit from them." Marc told me sternly as I just rolled my eyes at the older man, this is why I don't hang around them whenever you can potentially see me. How am I suppose to get my smokes now? "Plus I am not very fond of the idea of you staying with two teenage boys either especially at your age."
"Christian is a fine young man, I doubt he would try anything with my oldest. I will kill him the second he tries..But one of these days, Nicole will find her Prince Charming but not too soon because I am too young and hot to be a grandma.." Rena rambled on as the urge to walk away was definitely growing more and more by the second.
"Ma, Christian is gay.. Us dating didn't exactly pan out-"
"Wait, you dated him! When did this happen?" My dad exclaimed, oh this kills me sometimes he can be so clueless about what goes on.
"Relax Marc. Oh my god, Christian's actually gay.. I felt like I should have know given you guys have been friends for years. Good for him, I hope he finds a handsome-"
"Momma, what does gay mean?" My little sister, Mariah, asked looking up at Sable. I had forgotten that she was even with us because she was being so quiet; how could I forget because I will have to babysit her..most likely unless I can hide away.
"It's when boys are attracted to other boys. But enough about that, we need to go meet my tag team partner for tonight, it's his pay per view debut and just your type Nicole." God damn it, here goes Ma trying to find me someone that I am totally not going to be interested in.. well maybe not. As of recently, I have been really confused with my sexuality and think that I might be attracted to girls. Or maybe it's just a crush on a girl in my second block class, could be just a phase. It confuses me but thankfully my bff could understand my confusion. I have never started checking out other girls until recently, until that cute redhead caught my eye. "His ringname is Edge, and he is a gorgeous blonde hunk.."
"Rena-"
"Chill out stupid, don't get your panties in a bunch. You know that I love you." My mother sassed before giving him a small peck on the lips. Gross.
"Stop trying to set our daughter with someone that is probably in his mid 20's-"
"Wait back the fuck up, he is that old? If he tries anything, I will TKO his ass into the floor before he puts his hands on her.. Well unless he waits about two more years..than I won't argue, it's just means he is more experienced." I think Edge is this really tall, blonde haired guy that has only been around a couple months. The more I think about it, the more familiar that it sounds. Now I am going to wonder around this place and see what the hell I can get into before this show starts, maybe I can stay in one of the locker rooms. I need to get out of here before she actually finds the guy, I have no intentions of actually finding out if she's serious or not.
Thank god, I got out of there before any of them said anything to me but where can I hide to watch the show? Wondering through the halls, I looked behind me to make sure that Ma or the others were following but in doing so I bumped into someone."Shit. I-" My eyes looked up to see who exactly I ran into, expecting to have ran into one of the male Superstar, but instead it was a woman. One that stood about six feet tall and had muscles that could match some of the males in this company, a woman that could intimidate and even defeat the big boys. Her long, black hair was put up nicely and she was wearing a yellow-greenish tube top and matching shorts to go with it and black boots. Chyna. "I-..sorry."
"It's fine, mistakes happen. Are you even suppose to be back here?" She asked somewhat sternly.
"My parents work here but I just wanted to hide away from them.. they were embarrassing me." The tall woman let out a small chuckle. "So can you pretend that you never saw me?"
"Well, how about you come sit with me in my locker room for a little bit? No one will bother you there." I didn't even waste another second, I nodded my head as she twirled her finger for me to follow her. I can't believe that Chyna is inviting me to go sit with her, oh jeez, I hope that I don't do anything stupid because she scares me. We arrived at her locker room which wasn't as huge as I expected but it had a monitor in the room so we could watch the event there. "So you never mentioned who your parents were?"
"My Ma is Sable."
"So you are Rena's oldest, that's interesting.. I wouldn't have guessed." Well I was going to say it's because I am adopted but decided against it. There was a little bit of small talk between now and the start of the show, I didn't think that Chyna would be all that talkative but it's really cool to be in the same room as her. The first match on the card was D'Lo Brown against Val Venis for the European Championship which was a longer match to start the show and the Champion retained. Venis was furious about the outcome and attacked the referee which is typical heel fashion. The next match was a handicap match that I didn't really pay too much attention too because I hardly know who the Oddities are besides Luna Vachon. The next match was X-Pac against Double J, Jeff Jarrett, and this is a hair versus hair match, someone is going to lose their flowing locks and I might laugh more than I should. "I know that this is completely random but are you thinking about following in your mother's footsteps and becoming a second gen Women's Wrestler?"
"Nah, why would I want to do that..Just because I appreciate the business, doesn't mean I would want to waste my time doing that whenever I could get a real job." I just shrugged my shoulders and crossed my legs, turning my attention back toward the screen.
"A real job? This doesn't classify as a real job to you."
"I mean, you don't have to go to college and get a degree to work in this business. Sure the money is amazing but I don't need a higher education for it. If I really wanted to set my mind to it, I could be a police officer or a doctor maybe even an astronaut. Yeah..that sounds badass." Now I am grinning to myself about what if I went through all that school and became one of those things, being able to go into space. Or even working in some big hospital, owning a big house and a couple cars. Living the best life possible, I really don't want to spend most my days driving and flying to different places. However.. having hundreds of thousands of people cheering my name does sound somewhat awesome, maybe not the booing portion.
"Not every real job requires a degree or higher education, to be a professional wrestler; you have to train for months even years. Perfecting your acting skills and become the character you are set to portray. Blood, sweat and tears go into this business and very few can actually make it to the top. But I mean, think about it you could be known to the wrestling world as just Sable's daughter or Daisy..eh whatever name they would stick you with. A second generation Women's wrestler maybe one that goes miles beyond her mother's accomplishments." Chyna spoke calmly even though I am pretty sure that I aggravated her earlier. "Have you ever watched a match and just imagined 'what if that was me? What if that was me holding that title and all those people cheering my name?'"
"Maybe when I was younger but.."
"It's just food for thought, you don't have to make a decision now. But trust me kid, I think that you would be a great future Champion." This might sound really corny but that actually made my heart skip a couple beats. It's not everyday that you can sit in the locker room with an amazing athlete such as Chyna. So should I actually take her advice and maybe follow in my mother's footsteps. No. I wouldn't be doing that because she never trained to be in the business. "Being out in front of them, is the greatest feeling in the world." I think really answer back because I glued back to the screen whenever I heard Marc's theme song play, him and Jacqueline came out in these matching red robes and leave it to my dad to be wearing those stupid shades. Jacqueline is a beautiful woman, I give her that, most certainly underrated. So these scenes playing on the titantron are segments leading up to this matchup. Two weeks ago apparently Ma and Jacqueline had an arm wrestling contest which Ma won and the other woman was not happy about; she took the trophy and hit my mother hard in the back with it. Last week, the other woman ambushed Sable at ringside while wearing a disguise and beat the living shit out of her.
Now we have the cougar roaring which is Ma as she walked out the cage-like door wearing her 'Sable Bomb' shirt and her long, blonde hair braided. Her walk to the ring was fast not really wasting any time however she was alone with no mystery partner trailing behind. I guess I got let in on the secret a little early. Ma spoke on the mic for a few seconds before a different played and Edge made his way to the ring from the audience. Getting into the ring, they looked at each other for a couple seconds while Rena smirked. Wait this is Edge's first pay per view? Holy shit. There was a short timeframe where Jacqueline had tagged herself in only to run away whenever the blonde man tagged in Sable. Now the guys are brawling again. "Get em Edge.." Marc attempted to go into his TKO only for the rookie to counter into an amazing DDT. "Hell yeah!"
Chyna snickered. "Someone is into this."
Now Ma is beating the shit out of Miss Jackie, trying to punch her face and choke her, "I can't help that I like this match."
"That young man is pretty skilled." The way that they have the women wrestling in this match, you can see the animosity between the two of them. The pure hatred in this story line, Sable was able to hit the TKO and went for the cover only for Mero to drag her out of the ring by her ankles. Now the married couple are arguing outside of the ring and Jackie nails the blonde woman in the back hard.
Another minute had passed and the men were back into the match, and Edge doesn't waste anytime; he leaps fearlessly over the top rope crashing into dad who was outside the ring. "Holy fuck that was cool." I am always amazed with highflying moves and I really feel that if I ever did become a wrestler that would probably be my strongest point. Just the pure adrenaline of jumping of the top rope, doing moonsaults or suicide dives would be enough for me. He jerked the older man's arm and whips him hard into the steel steps. Miss Texas was quick to hop onto Edge's back, he didn't toss her off but instead walked slowly up the ramp, stopping partway. What happens next made me explode with laughter so hard I almost cried, the blonde man bent her over his knee and proceeded to spank her. "That just made my night.." He goes back after Marc and nails him with a nice crossbody and goes for the cover but only gets a two count. He whips dad into the corner and gets him on the top rope and delivers a neckbreaker. Edge goes for the cover once again but Jackie interfered once again and placed his foot on the ropes which stopped the count. While Edge was arguing with Miss Texas, who jumped up on the apron, the Marvelous One was attempting to gain the upper hand. It was mirrored like before and the rookie had moved, that caused Marc to hit the African American woman off the apron and into the floor. Edge managed to roll the heel man up fast but only got a two count once again. "Come on Edge, get him.." It wasn't much longer before Mom was back into the match and hell she didn't wait, the blonde went straight to the top rope; keeping a hold of Marc's hair for leverage. "This looks like it's going to be cool." Sable delivered a Hurricanrana from the top, and went straight for the cover. Once again Jacqueline attempted to stop them and like the previous time, Rena moved which caused her to dive onto her own partner instead. The blonde woman quickly whipped the shorter woman into the corner and Edge was quick to send the Marvelous one into her. Marc fell down first however Jackie staggered a couple steps before falling down but headbutted Marc straight in the dick. Not long after he had gotten up, the blonde rookie DDTed him back down onto the mat. I was waiting for him to go for the cover and secure the win however he turned to my mother, who seemingly did something and he picked her up and slammed Ma onto her off-screen husband. Sable was the one to pick up the win for her team.
"Daisy." I turned over to Chyna, "I think you should go congratulate them on a great match, I saw how into it you were. I have to get ready soon as well there are two matches before us." Whenever she referred to 'us', I think that I can be sure that it's her and Triple H.
"Yeah I think I will do that..." As long as she doesn't have that Edge guy with her and still trying to set me up with him, granted he's not bad looking for sure. I think he might be one of my favorites now, I have to keep a close eye on his matches. "Thank you Chyna-"
"Call me Joan.. and it's no problem. Just remember what I said alright."
"I will Joan, and have fun out there."
"Oh I will, I always do.."
End of Flashback..
It really didn't feel like twelve years ago, that was the night I had decided Edge was probably going to be one of my favorite Superstars. Chyna's word were definitely an influence and I wanted to do things the way that I wanted. The blood, sweat and tears that were suppose to come naturally; I had made it to the big leagues and it wasn't because of my family legacy. Sadly Chyna had left the company years before I got there, I wanted to face her and I wanted to wrestle her with everything that I had. But remembering how rebellious and stupid I was, I couldn't help but let a small laugh escape me. "What's so funny?"
"I don't know if you remember me saying this but.. I had said that I wanted to get a 'real' job instead of wrestling."
"I can vaguely yes, so did you ever get one of those.."
"I became a stripper….so I could pay for wrestling school." I responded back with my hand partially covering my face, I was actually embarrassed to say that.
"Hm, I would have like to see that." She mumbled quietly but I wasn't sure if I heard that correctly.
"Wait what.."
Chyna's head snapped over toward the door, that was starting to open. I have no idea who the hell it was but I could hear laughing on the other side. We forgot to lock the door. "Hey Daisy, are you in here? Can we come in?" That was Mickie's voice for sure so that means she is probably walking with either Tessmacher or Hemme judging by the fact she said 'we'. I was going to get up and walk out of the room so Joan can relax by herself, I don't know if she wants to meet the other girls just yet. My eyes glanced over to Chyna, who just motioned to allow them into the room which got me to nod my head. Opening the door, I saw Mickie, who just had a big grin on her face however she wasn't with who I expected. She was with the Black Widow, who is not attached to her girlfriend's hip for the moment. Miss Hardcore Country was the first to walk into the locker room, completely oblivious that I wasn't alone. "Jesus what took you so long, you trying to hide your girlfriend in here or something? Dixie would have your ass if-" Her brown eyes locked onto the Ninth Wonder of the World before she turned her attention over to me. "That's fucking Chyna.. how..when.. what.." Alright so the brunette is completely fangirling right now and honestly I don't blame her because I can't believe that she is working with us either.
Lisa stayed speechless while Mickie was trying to comprehend what is going on, but the older of the two women walked over to Joan. "Holy crap, it's been forever!" Victoria exclaimed, giving the slightly older woman a hug, one which Chyna returned. "What are you doing here, Joan!" I take it that these two have known each other for a good bit because Lisa doesn't just walk up and hug everyone like that.
"Lisa, god you are looking good girl.. Actually, I might be making my debut tonight."
"No fucking way, that's awesome. Maybe I will finally get to wrestle you like I always wanted."
"We will see for sure, I would like that."
I decided to add myself into the conversation, "Hold up a second, wait your turn LisaBoo. I get a shot at Joan first." Chyna just chuckled at my response. I know exactly way she showed up to Impact Wrestling tonight but does that mean afterwards that
"How about you add me into the mix and we can make this a Fatal Four Way Match.. oh and this should totally be for the Knockout's Championship. I am getting my title belt back." Mickie stated smugly, pointing to herself with confidence. There is no way that I am losing my baby, not now or ever, I will be the longest reigning Knockout's Champion in the history of this company.
"You're Mickie James," Chyna said over to the shortest brunette, who looked at her astonished, I guess she wasn't expecting the raven haired woman to know her name. "I am a really big fan of your work in WWE and here at TNA.. all of you. The Knockout's Division has a really nice roster for sure."
"Oh my, I didn't ever think that the Chyna would be a fan of my work.." The former Diva's Champion said almost sheepishly, a slight blush appearing across her cheeks which was really cute.
"So Lisa, how do you know Joan?" I asked because I am really curious of how these two know each other. They weren't every in the company together that I know off, well I think Lisa was one of the Godfather's Hos along with Ames before she debuted in 2002.
"Before I got into wrestling I was working as a trainer at the Church Fitness gym after moving to LA. One day sometime in early 2000, I was working and get approached by this woman that was several inches taller than me. She complimented my appearance and told me that I should become a professional wrestler, she introduced herself to me as Chyna. I took her up on the offer and made a biography package and sent it to the WWF and days later, Kevin Kelly called. Not wasting anytime, I looked up professional schools and started training at at Ultimate Pro Wrestling in Southern Cali. The rest is history; Joan and I have been friends since. I owe my career to this woman, I was going to school to be physician studying medicine and working at places as a human tissue coordinator." So it seems that Chyna was an influence on more than just me, it seems that Lisa and I have a lot more in common now. But it was actually really cool to learn more about the Black Widow seeing that we just rekindled our friendship recently; I would have never guessed she was studying medicine in school.
"I hate to interrupt but.." Chyna said in an almost soft tone. "They had told me what I am suppose to do for tonight. But um.. I am not exactly prepared, I don't have the best attire."
"Wait right here! I am sure that we can help you out. I will be right back." Mickie spoke before going out the door before any of us could say anything, once that girl has her mind set there is no stopping her. The three of us engaged in small talk for a couple minutes about various things until the brunette barged back into the room, rolling a massive suitcase in behind her. What the hell did she do, bring her entire wardrobe last time she went to Richmond? Wouldn't put it past her. "Here we are. I think I might have something hiding in here."
"Mickers, did you have bring your complete Richmond closet?" Lisa said having the same thought process as me.
"No just a small portion of it. Let's see what I can find." Sitting the luggage into one of the chairs, she unzipped the suitcase and started digging through the pile of clothes carefully. Why couldn't we go to Jolene and see if she has anything that might help Chyna here? The former Diva's Champion looked back and forth at the Ninth Wonder of the World and the clothes which means that she is getting an idea of what may work. She started setting certain items to side, I guess they are possible attire options. "Hm, let's see.." Mickie trailed off, still digging through her suitcase; a pair of black pants in her hands. Our priority was set and that was to make sure that Joan is ready for tonight. Oh boy, I can't wait to see Karen's face whenever she is standing on the stage.
Maria's POV
During the show..
Madison Rayne's theme started playing throughout the arena which accompanied the loud boos of the audience. Hemme stood in the center of the ring, sporting some knee-high black boots and a dark purple dress that barely goes past her thighs. "The following contest scheduled for one-fall is TNA Knockout's action. Introducing first, the team of Tara and Madison Rayne!" Panning the camera up to the ramp, the former Knockout's Champion was barking orders at Lisa, who only attempted to ignore her off-screen girlfriend's constant bitching. The Black Widow was the first one in the ring while Ashley jumped on the apron. She stuck her body halfway into the ring, wanting to do her usual entrance which Victoria was refusing to do. 'I am not kissing you', the oldest woman mouthed. Now Madison is angry yelling even more than before whenever she climbed into the ring. The brunette stood up on her tiptoes screaming even louder as Christy awkwardly walked back toward the center to announce the other team. 'Hardcore Country!' There's goes Mickie's theme song as her and Brooke made their way onto the ramp. The former Champ pointed over to Tessmacher, who undid the clip in her hair and whipped it around before pulling her jacket apart to reveal her purple ring attire, in a similar fashion as Candy use too. "And their opponents, the team of Miss Tessmacher and Mickie James!" They made their way down the ramp and briefly exchanging words and shortly after Brooke tossed her jacket onto the camera which covered the screen. Madison had already retreated onto the apron, meaning that the more experienced of the women were most likely going to start the match. Now they are playing the segment that happened the week before with Mickie and Madison making the stipulation for their match at Sacrifice.
The face team share a quick embrace and Brooke climbed out onto the apron. "Get her Tara! Get her!" Madison pointed over to Miss Hardcore Country, who only took a stance and the bell rung to begin the match. Mickie and Lisa circled around the ring twice before charging at each other, they lockup in the center of the ring. The struggle for power was short with Tara getting Mickie in a Wristlock and she twists on her arm repeatedly.. With an amazing display of athleticism, the shorter of the veteran counters with a cartwheel and hits an armdrag. Mickie holds onto the raven haired woman's wrist and twists on her arm like what she had done previously. Lisa easily rolls through it and hits an armdrag of her own. Basically these two are trying to out-strength each other but finally the Black Widow secures an armlock. Mickie fights it off and then both for the legal women jumped into the air and attempted dropkicks almost in sync, but of them missed. They both rose to one knee, even small smirks on both their faces. "Get her Tara, stop messing around and get her!" Mickie gets up to her feet and extends her hand out to Victoria which surprises her but somewhat out of character; Tara grabs and shakes the face Knockout's hand which causes Madison to be enraged. "What the hell are you doing!"
The woman in black immediately stormed over to her corner and started arguing with her off-screen girlfriend once again. "Shut up!" Lisa surprisingly yelled out and Ashley's eyes widened; the enraged Victoria then slapped the shorter brunette's wrist and climbed out onto the apron. That got her a loud pop as Ashley has her back turned to the former Knockout's Champion while Mickie crouched even shaking her ass for whatever reason.
"You stupid bitch!" She yelled one last time at Victoria, who completely shrugged the insult off. Whenever the Queen Bee turned around, Mickie pounced on her with a Thesz Press and started nailing her with hard shots while Madison only attempted to protect her face. The official started counting and around the time he got to three, Miss Hardcore Country stopped the attacked and rose to her feet. She grabbed the younger woman again but Ash drove her knee into Mickie's gut. Madison was quick to bounce off the rope and kicked the other brunette upside the head, she quickly turns to Tara. "See, that's how it's done!" Congratulations Madison, you hit once and you are the shit apparently, I love to hate this character of hers. Whenever Ashley turned around, she was face to face with Tessmacher, somehow Mickie was able to go tag in her partner. Rayne only exploded with laughter which is showing that she refuses to take Brooke seriously at all. "You have to be freaking kidding me! You still want to play wrestler! Aw, aren't you cut-" The rookie Knockout nails her with multiple forearms to the face as Tara watches amused. Brooke grabs Rayne and attempts to whips her into the corner; the Queen Bee was quick to reverse that which sent Tess into the corner. Madison charges at her but eats a boot to the face. Tessie jumped up onto the top rope and yanks the hair of Rayne; she gets on Ash's shoulders after whipping her hair around. She performs a pretty good Victory Roll and the official counts. "1...2...3!"
The face team is celebrated as Madison is confused on what the hell just happened, "Your winners of the match, Miss Tessmacher and Mickie James!" I can somewhat hear the theme song they have going for Brooke and it doesn't sound bad, it's hard to hear over the crowd. She has improved in the four months since her last match and that's because of my girlfriend and LisaBoo have been working with her. That's hilarious to think about though.. Daisy.. teaching someone. She's probably just staring at Brooke's booty for a majority of it. I mean, she does have a great ass but still, it wouldn't surprise me. Madison is throwing a bitch fit still screaming a Lisa and trying to be intimidating and chest bumping her.
"How dare you! You messed up Tara, you let her pin me! You are going to regret it!" Lisa scoffed and left the ring, completely ignoring Rayne and her tantrums while the face team walked toward the back. "GET YOUR ASS BACK IN THIS RING!" She yelled, pointing down to the canvas; the black haired woman only backed up the ramp in retort, her eyes glued to Rayne. The segment was officially over now that Ric is on my screen which has to mean something with Immortal. Man this Sunday is going to be interesting, I wonder what kind of role Tara is going to play in that match?
Not long has passed with Immortal and all them still trying to figure out who the network rep is and now here is Tara talking. "If Mickie wins the match then I am finally free from that ball and chain. I am sick and tired of her telling me what to do. Everyday we disagree, she says 'uh huh', I say 'uh huh'. I say 'no girl' and she says 'yeah girl' and I am sick and tired of it." Even though in reality, I don't think those two bicker anymore, they did before they got together because they wouldn't admit their feelings for each other. Ashley still was playing the straight game but couldn't fool me. There in the background, you could see a blurred silhouette walk into view, her hand slowly turn to face where Lisa was. But it was easy to see with the long, brown hair and the red accented outfits that it was Madison Rayne. "She's a freaking skank and I am tired of her. I want to be free, free from that little brat."
The Queen Bee walks over and pokes Tara's shoulder, that made the raven haired woman turn her head to her off-screen girlfriend. She places her hands on her hips before asking, "Who are you calling a rat, Tara? Who are you talking about?"
"I didn't say rat, I said brat." Lisa corrected the shorter woman in a know it all tone.
"It doesn't matter. Listen to me, WHEN I beat Mickie at Sacrifice, I won't have to worry about her anymore and I can get one step closer to winning back MY title. And afterwards, YOUR life is going to be hell! " She picks Victoria in the face before walking away which leaves the Black Widow boiling mad..
Later on in the show..
The winner was barely announced whenever Immortal's music hits and Hogan, Bischoff, & Flair walk down to the ring. Suicide is slowly trying to get back to his feet after that Diamond Cutter from Sangriento, he finally gets to his feet as the Immortal trio climbs in. Another thing that slightly bugs me in that SoCal has to sit on the middle rope to help them in, talk about disrespectful but they are heels for a lot of reasons. Flair kicks the masked man in the nuts and then kicks him out of the ring. What the hell did he ever do to you Flair? One of the commentator guys is rambling over the fact that Immortal is yet again showing no respect for the X-Division. Do they even respect anyone? I highly doubt that because you are deep shit if you don't follow them. Hogan is the one out of the trio with a microphone and after walking around the ring, he decided to speak. "The games are over. If you don't have a telephone, telegraph, newspaper, running water, iphone, ipad, fax machine; whatever the hell it is and you don't know that I run this place. You must be hiding under a rock somewhere! So right now, I want that Network Rep to get his ass out here or her ass out here." Just after he finished that statement, it faded to commercial. Whenever the show came back on the air, the Jarretts were now magically standing in the ring with Immortal while they were still waiting for the reveal. Hell I don't even know how it is either, they only hinted that it could be Goldberg. Could it though? "The games are over, I want to know who this Network Representative is, I run this damn company. I want him right now in my ring."
All five members of Immortal in the ring, turned to look at the stage whenever two words played 'Bang Bang'. The sound of a car followed and the titantron had a yellow smiley that slowly got wrapped in barb wire, little spots of blood appeared on it. The name that appeared was Mick Foley. Holy shit, Foley. That's certainly an interesting choice. Seconds later, the legend walks onto the stage which changes Hogan's expression to one of shock but sometimes I feel like that's his normal face. "It's me. It's me Hogan." Mick started making his way down the ramp. "You may have thought that you were the smartest man in the business, maybe you were. Things were looking your way. March 3rd, they started to unravel, didn't they? I mean Immortal had just started to come together perfectly, Jeff Hardy was the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Then someone known as the Network got in the way, introduced someone known as the Icon Sting. And your plans started to unravel, didn't they Hulk?" The crowd was continuously cheering loudly for Foley as he started to walk around the ring, Hogan staring daggers into him. "There was someone there to checkmate you every step of the way to make sure that your grasp on TNA was not concrete." He climbed up on the apron. "That someone was me!" Foley climbed into the ring and Bischoff was the first to get into his face, "You got something to say Bischoff?" Eric continued to get in his face, "You want to get in my face?" He shoved Eric down hard. "You want to get in my face!" Jeff was the first one to go over to aid Bischoff and Mick turned his attention to Hogan. "Go ahead Hulk, do you want to take a shot! You wanna take a shot at me, you better make sure that it's a go one. I know that you will drop me, Hulk! But I might get up.. I might get up if I do..if I do then you, you, you will never work here again!" Mick exclaimed while pointing at Jarrett and Eric along with the Hulkster. "I am the Network Executive!"
Mick was the one to getting into the leader of Immortal's face. He said something that I couldn't quite understand but I understand what followed. "Am I understood? Because this show is longer about you, Hulk, it's not about the money you make. It's not about you. It's not about you" Once again the Network Rep pointed to both Jeff and the Nature Boy as Karen was checking on Bischoff. "This show is about wrestling!" You know the passion coming out of Mick's voice right now is something that I adore greatly. It's how promos should be cut, he's taking deep breaths. He is getting into and taking this role he is giving and hitting it out of the park. "As of now wrestling matters once again, it mattered when I was a kid at Madison Square Garden and saw you win the World Championship." He turned his attention to Ric. "It mattered when I saw you and Steamboat put in forty-eight minutes in East Rutherford, New Jersey.." He slowly goes back over to Hogan, who has surprisingly remained silent over the entire thing. "Sometimes we forget the fact that wrestling matters so I am saying it now. From now on, this show..this show is about wrestling, this show is no longer TNA Wrestling.. Impact-"
"You can't do that!" Hogan finally exclaimed.
"I JUST DID!" Foley raises his voice even louder, receiving more cheers from the crowd and shutting Hogan's mouth. "I just did. And everytime you hear the name Impact, everytime you hear the word chanted, you will know.. You will think back to this day and remember, this was a day when you stopped making a difference. And to show you wrestling matters, and to show all of you what an impact is all about. We got a new main event, Twenty-Five man Battle Royal. No more politics, just twenty five men in this ring tonight to determine who will be the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. That's Impact and that's Wrestling!" Man Foley is coming in strong with this promo here tonight. The man of many personas points to the male Jarrett. "And because you are going to be wrestling on Sunday night, I'd like- no no no..I don't like to I am going to because I call the shots and I am going to tell you who Kurt Angle's tag team partner is at Sacrifice." He pants, pointing back toward the stage while the others are shaking their heads like Immortal is scared to find out who the mystery woman is.
For a couple of seconds, nothing happened which got the others mainly the Jarretts to search around to make sure this wasn't a setup for an ambush. However the song that played wasn't a new song and one that was oh so familiar but which one is the main thing. It wasn't shortly after that my girlfriend was the one to walk onto the stage, a microphone in her hand and the title belt around her waist. Wait I thought Daisy wasn't Kurt's Mistress or did they played the married couple and the audience the entire time? Karen was in the ring with a mixture of emotions, it was easy to assume that it was a combination of furious but also terrified. I mean, she would have to be in the ring with someone that could easily kick her ass. "Shimmer down Karen, I thought this would make you happy."
"I knew it! Oh I knew that it had to be you!" God, who the hell gave this woman a microphone? And also, wasn't she thinking that it wasn't Daisy and it was Velvet instead?
"You were right all along. I mean out of most of the Knockouts here, I have known your ex husband the longest. We have traveled the roads together and shared more than just conversation. Take that as you will sweetie." She winked which got Karen throwing a bitch fit but I know my girlfriend so this is all just some major mind games on her part. "And I bet that if I wasn't going to kick your ass this Sunday at Sacrifice that your ego would be soaring. Oh I can only imagine whenever I turn you on your stomach and borrow a certain move from your ex husband.. you are going to be tapping like a little bit- "
"There is no way that you are going to get your hands on my wife, hell no.. that match isn't happening!" Jeff interjected with Karen nodding her head behind the blonde man. Daisy only rolled her eyes and a chuckle escaped her lips; she tapped her finger to chin like she was thinking what to say.
"It's funny Jeff because I am not afraid to kick your ass either if that means getting to the self proclaimed 'Queen of the Mountain'. I am going to educate her about who really rules this division, even if I have to go through every geezer in that ring. Legends or not, they won't save you. But the funny thing is.. I am not going to wait until Sacrifice."
"Stay away from me." Daisy started walking her way down the ramp but Karen was quick to hide behind Bischoff and her husband as Ric started screaming some nonsense at her. Hulk wasn't doing shit about the matter, frankly I think that he is still confused on what the fuck is going on. The BP member jumped up onto the apron and stared down the brunette for a couple of seconds. "Stay back!"
Nicole let out a laugh before jumping back down onto the floor, backing up the ramp once again. "Oh Karen, you should have seen your face!"
"That's not funny you stupid bitch! That's not funny!"
"It's hilarious Karen because.. I have some very bad news for you." Once Daisy walked back onto the ramp, her face turned from all smiling to straight serious. "You don't understand what you are getting yourself into..-" Daisy cracked another grin and started snickering to herself, I don't understand this woman half the time I swear. The Knockout's Champion shrugged her shoulders. "Karen sweetie, I can't do this anymore. It's actually not me."
"Yes it is! I know it's you!"
"Oh honey, here shortly you are going to wish that it was only me. But I thought I would do the honors of introducing the nightmare that is going to put you down, Karen. And I am going to be laughing for every second that you suffer and scream because of her. Buh bye." It was at that moment that Daisy blew Karen a kiss; the brunette turned her heels and started to walk off the stage and into the back. Another song started playing as Foley turned to look back up at the titantron. Slowly lines started to appear on the screen and some even connecting together with the audience cheering loudly. The first letter that was finished was the letter 'h', right now I am completely clueless as to who this person is. The second letter to be completed was 'n' followed by the 'y.' With the letters finally all the screen, I had to reread it over again..I looked over to Candice, who basically had the same reaction as I did. Holy shit, Chyna..This has to be another trick right? She hasn't been in a ring in about ten years. The camera panned back to the ring briefly to see that Karen was already panicking, covering her mouth with her hand. Hulk had his mouth opened but still looked confused as fuck. There she was finally making her way onto the stage, her hands rested on her hips as her eyes stayed glued to the ring. In my opinion, Chyna has looked to have lost all that muscle she once had. Could the Ninth Wonder of the World even still wrestle?
The brunette fell to her knees as Jeff tried to console her to best of his abilities, his hand running through his own blonde locks. "I guess Jeff remembered 1999." Candice snickered and I could help but laugh. That was after Double J was Slapnuts right? Wasn't that a Good Housekeeping match or some shit like that because he wanted to show her where 'a woman should be' according to him. Chyna was the first woman to capture the Intercontinental Championship, plus her smashing the guitar on Jeff's head was amazing.
It had faded into commercial whenever my phone vibrated and seeing as Candy was looking down at her phone I think it's a group message. It was from Mickie. 'Aoifwopaotifjanjbiipeonf She was wearing my sexy black pants!'
'Holy fucking shit, I can't believe we might be working with Chyna now. Why didn't I know this! -JamieBug'
'Wait I didn't know either. Pretty cool though. -Laur'
'Hell we didn't know until I walked into the group locker room and saw her with Daisy. Your girlfriend was being a shady and had the door locked. I almost thought that she had snuck you in there or something. -Lisa'
'Don't hate that Angle had me show Joan around but she preferred to stay on the downlow before the show. Don't worry though, she is excited to meet everyone though and plans to tomorrow. Even you babe.. -Daisy' Considering my girlfriend is referring to Chyna as her actual name means that she knows her from before, doesn't she?
I decided to get off the group chat as Candice was typing on her phone again so I will read what she posted in the group message if she's replying to one of the girls. Right now I want to text my girlfriend privately. 'Babe.. I miss you.'
'I miss you too but sweetie, you know that if you want to be with me 24/7 all you have to do is sign the damn contract. I am aware that you haven't made up your mind yet but still. How am I suppose to get good luck kisses before my match if you are so far away at the hotel? But right, before I forget.. I invited Joan to come out to lunch with us tomorrow, is that okay? She's excited to meet you. -Daisy' I didn't really have anything planned for tomorrow but it seems now that I am going to have lunch with a pioneer of this business. Sounds like a plan to me.
'I will just give you extra before you leave and cuddle you whenever you come home. I promise. ;) Now onto a different subject, how did you met Joan?'
'Long story short, Ma and Marc dragged me to Summerslam back in 1998. I didn't want to be there, I would have rather been going to parties and shit. But Ma was being embarrassing so I snuck away. I ended up bumping into her and she was really sweet and invited me to hang with her. Joan was definitely a decision changer for me becoming a second generation wrestler..Probably would be a dream match of mine. I am being a nerd and mentally fangirling right now. Don't mind me. But hey, I will see you whenever I get home.. I manage to hurt my shoulder working out today, that's what I get for trying to compete with Lisa.. Love you. -Daisy'
'Poor baby, I will kiss it and make it better.. I wish you would be more careful. Love you too, don't keep me waiting too long.'
"God you two are like high school sweethearts, were you two really this bad and I was oblivious to it?" Candice groaned and I turned to look at her. Was she really looking over my shoulder and reading my text messages to my girlfriend? Thank god it wasn't anything bad, not like we have had any kind of conversation like that… this time. Beforehand we were constantly flirting and sending dirty messages to each other, half of the time I couldn't travel with her and couldn't see her for days. I go crazy without my Daisy, that's why I am still indecisive of rather or not I want to go up North and explore my options up there. So for now, I am just going to snuggle in one of her shirts because it smells like her, plus I use them as my nightshirts. I don't think she cares that much. "So Miss Hardass is actually a big softie now, kinda cute I am happy that you guys found each other again. I was trying to ask you a question and you just had this huge grin on your face and I knew it was because of her."
"Yeah, she does that too me..only she can." There is still something that is bothering me about Candice, she doesn't seem completely like herself. I can't really put my finger on it but I don't like the feeling. My best friend has been pressing into my personal life a little more than I would like; however the main thing is that she has been here for a couple weeks and hasn't elaborated why she is down here. I mean I am very happy to get to see and hang out with her and it not only be just an hour every couple months. Maybe I need to be a tad bit nosey about whatever is going between her and Ken. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what's up?"
"I know that's it is a sore topic but you realize that I am your best friend and you can talk to me about anything, right?" Candice parted her lips to speak but just nodded her head in response with a small smile on her face. "Tell me what about happened between you and Ken.." The smile that she had instantly disappeared, she shook her head from side to side. The former Diva stayed completely silent for the next minute or two while I continued to think of anything that could have happened to make her this way. Then it hit me, "Candy.." The brunette didn't respond so I grabbed her face and forced her dark eyes to look at me. "Did Ken hit you?"
Her eyes widened like she was shocked that a question like that could ever be thought of. "Oh god no, Ken would never!" It was almost a defensive tone and I can't figure out if I believe that sentence to be the truth or a lie to protect her husband. "He would never do something like that, you know Ken.." The older woman trailed off, her eyes drifting over to AkiAnne, who was still sleeping. "The reason we argued is because I accused him of cheating on me and..it's just..ugh.. He was spending so much more time at the Office and there is this new secretary there and I know she has the hots for my husband.. It's suspicious."
"He would be stupid to cheat on someone as beautiful as you..You are like the total package." Alright so I am finally getting some information even though it's probably only the beginning of how Candice came to be down here. She isn't the type to easily get jealous of another girl so this bitch has to be a perfect ten or flaunting her stuff so much that it makes Candy uncomfortable. Perhaps my bestie had a reason to be afraid but some things still aren't adding up. She smiled slightly at my compliment which was good because she has a pretty smile. "...Was he? I mean what made you suspect that-"
"Does it really matter? Drop it Maria..!" She snapped which is completely out of character for someone that's normally so quiet.
I decided to drop the subject because the last thing I wanted to do was upset my best friend and make her uncomfortable. On the other hand, I didn't want her to feel like she had to bottle everything up, that's not healthy. We turned our attention back to the television and I believe that main event battle royal or whatever is on now. I can't even remember what was going on since I haven't been paying attention for a good bit. "I am here for you if you need to talk."
"I know, you always are.."
AN: Well it's about fucking time that I finished this monster of a chapter. I hope that this chapter was just as good as my other work, I feels like it's a little off..maybe I am paranoid. Only took what like a month and a half. And two weeks or so was struggling with the Foley/Hogan segment and the part of the confrontation between Katarina and Daisy. Note to self, don't push the Maria button. But also, Karen came in to help Daisy, she ain't such a bitch after all.. As for the main part of this chapter, I altered Daisy's bio slightly to make more sense as to why Chyna would be a big influence plus an appearance by Sable is always a plus. She fucking killed me. The whole thing with Mickie's big pants was based on a true story that Mickie posted on Facebook after Chyna's passing, I thought I would add it in to keep some realism. RIP Chyna.. I had too much fun writing the whole reveal of Kurt's Mistress with Daisy going out there and messing with Karen's head.. She's such a trolly character. Also we got a little bit to go on with what's going on with Candice, she doesn't seem to be opening up just yet. She's got a best friend in Maria and hopefully she will let go of whatever weight is on her shoulders. Also the Daisy and Jamie bonding time was kinda cute.. This recap was so fucking scattered.. I don't care. Until next time, next chapter is going to be Sacrifice!..
If you liked the chapter and how the story is going so far.. please review, fav and/or follow. It means a lot and shows that people like what I write..
