Chapter 11: Korishio's becomes a heel on iMPACT whilst Zoe watches.
As I said before, dad was due to become a heel...but they didn't want him to be a heel as Suicide...they wanted a monster on their hands; and quite frankly, with things are going with TNA...I don't really blame dad that much...or Jeff Jarrett (the guy who employed my dad)as they were going up against Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff...I heard that name before; I think dad said that he didn't want to work with him when he was offered a WWE contract when I was six years old.
Anyway, Dad walked out to the ring for a "tag team" match with Hulk Hogan and AJ against Jarrett, Daniels and Joe. I was invited to the commentary table; which I loved, and commented on the whole match until the whole heel turn from my dad. (I was told to keep it a secret and look astonished until I proved I knew about it, which I would keep my promise to dad) "Well; I wonder if dad can keep his stress level down." I said as I continued to commentate on the whole match, right up to the last part; where the heel turn would happen.
"I'm gonna go down and see what's going on!" I said, in a phony voice...almost playing the part of a disgusted daughter, then left the commentators table; walked to the ring where dad was attacking Hogan with a steel chair; then hit him with his world title belt...so I got into the ring; grabbed the chair and whacked Hogan a few times. After that; dad laughed at him as we left him in a bloody state, with blood on the mat. (Hey; I didn't say this was going to be a fun part of my life, but I enjoy every minute being in that ring) Dad proceeded afterwards; to grab the mic and then told the crowd to be quiet for a minute so he could proceed to tell his side of the story.
"I'm sick and tired of TNA being stomped on by people like Hogan, Bischoff, McMahon and others. When I came here around the time TNA had become huge, I wanted one thing and one thing only – the World Heavyweight title around my waist. Now I have done that...Hogan, you wanted a monster; well pal, you got yourself one! Only this time, it's not going to go your way...you see; we all hate your guts...I've got the power, I've got the gold...and you don't have a damn thing. The way I see it Hogan, for five long years, I've had to make the ultimate sacrifices...leaving my family – mainly my daughter behind and I couldn't do anything but wrestle to keep a roof over her head, clothes on her back, food in her stomach, medication in her stomach when she needed it when she was ill, water to keep her hydrated and clean...I worked my ass off for five long years...becoming TNA tag team champion, then X-division champion, and now the TNA champion." Dad said as we stood there; watching dad becoming more angry and disgusted about Hogan and Bischoff.
"I remember what you and Bischoff said to me when I first broke into wrestling, and that was "This kid will never become the world heavyweight champion!" but look at me! You two make me so damn sick to my damn f**king stomach! (Note that it was bleeped out on the TV version...but live; it was as damn real as any swear word could get!) I want my daughter to be a wrestler someday...and she does too. I have the best idea ever, I got your blood Hogan...but I want your career! Final Resolution, biggest pay per view in the history of my career, I've made up my mind who I want to face at that pay per view...and it's you Hogan; except it's a first blood match!" Dad said, finishing as he passed the microphone to Jeff Jarrett, who then proceeded to cut his promo, then Joe, then Daniels, then AJ, as dad's theme song played and he got out of the ring with everybody else; with his championships and then walked back to the locker room, where he packed everything up and we left to go to the car.
"Dad, that was great...I didn't think you would have it...but I was wrong!" I said as AJ and dad laughed. "Yeah, just remember one thing princess...and that is: Never say never; you honestly never know when you're gonna be a babyface or a heel." Dad said as he put his bag into the boot and said bye to everybody else; so did I, then we jumped into the car and dad took me home since it was around seven at night. (It was two hours long, and let's face it; it was hot as hell in there from the lights, pyrotechnics and everybody jumping up and down, luckily I kept myself hydrated whilst we were there...so I earnt a shower; so did dad quite frankly)
As we pulled up to the house; mom stood outside with a concerned look on her face. "Zoe, where the hell have you been, you've really made me worry young lady!" Mom said as I looked at dad. "Relax honey, I had to take Zoe with me to the iMPACT zone for the live show that we do now and again...they needed me to fill in for someone in a tag match...so I couldn't say no; but I'm back on vacation now." Dad said as mom nodded. "As long as you weren't hurt or anything." Mom replied as I nodded; then smiled. "Don't worry mom, I wasn't doing much...I got invited to the commentators table to comment on the match and watch it from there instead of being at ringside for a change." I replied as I then ran upstairs; ran a shower and sighed as I relaxed for a while; but dad shouted up, "Don't forget Zoe, we're doing something you wanna do, so as soon as you're finished in the shower and changed, come and tell me where you want to go." And I shouted my acknowledgement whilst in the shower.
Around an hour later; (I love long showers, they help me relax quite a lot instead of baths...though I love baths more; I tend to get more showers since I cannot drown in the shower...I can in the bath if I fall asleep; but not the shower) I got out and changed into some cooler clothes and then found dad downstairs; with mom, holding his wrist. "Argh, that damn well hurts Sora!" dad said as mom wrapped a bandage around it. "How did you do that?!" Mom said as dad explained (I didn't actually see it, until AJ told me about it), that he came over the top rope and got hung there with his wrist; dislocating it. "Dad, are you okay to drive?" I asked as he looked over. "I'm gonna be fine princess, It's just hurting a bit." He said as mom looked.
"No, I'll drive...wait a damn moment; how did you manage to drive with that pain?" She asked as dad shrugged. "I dunno...must have been the adrenaline flowing...but I did get the wrist put back into place before though." Dad replied as mom looked on with the same concerned face. "Okay...we're going to go out for a while; I promised my baby girl that we'd do something she wanted...do you guys wanna come out?" He asked as mom shook her head. "Kou and Koji are reading some books that they bought a few days ago, Takuya is asleep on the couch and I'm going to do the same – have a sleep on the couch...I'll just move Takuya to the recliner chair, so you two go out and have fun...but do the same the next few days for Kou, Koji, then all of us...just Takuya can't handle the heat at the moment...it's rather hot." Mom said as dad nodded.
"If it's okay with you, dad...and it doesn't hurt your hand; can we go and have a game of mini-golf; then go around the shops?" I asked as dad smiled, then nodded. "Sure thing honey; let's get going then." He said as mom kissed both of us – me on the head and dad on the lips...which made me roll my eyes. "C'mon then princess, let's go." Dad said as I nodded; then waved to mom. (Okay; let me patch this thing up for you; the whole "princess" name thing. It's my nickname from dad; you see when I was born, he was there for the birth and he said, "That's my baby girl...my princess.", so it's kinda stuck with him calling me that for years on end, I don't mind; I'm his daughter and I always like the nickname.)
So as we went for a game of mini-golf, I felt a bit hungry...so I was damn embarrassed. "Dad, can we go and grab something to eat...I think there's a burger bar around here somewhere." I said as dad nodded, but looked at me. "Why are you embarrassed, it's natural to be hungry, I'm actually hungry, so we'll grab something to eat eh...and when we're walking around the shops, we'll grab something for your mother, sister and brothers?" Dad said as I jumped at the idea. We finished the game around half past eight...as we both took our time for the shots, and then went for something to eat at the burger bar, which was around the corner from the "Pitch N Putt" mini golf.
"Thanks dad...I think my stomach wouldn't have thanked me if I hadn't have gotten something to eat." I said; as I munched on my burger a bit more; then sipped on the coca-cola that dad got me as well. "No problem, I tell ya; it feels weird to be eating a burger...see; when I was your age, I eat one burger too many...I wasn't obese, my metabolism kept my weight down; but I eat one burger...and I ended up being rushed to hospital as I suffered a heart attack...they said that I was lucky that I became a professional wrestler; so basically I restricted my fast food limit to about one or two a month, so I became better; and as I gradually became a professional wrestler; I just discarded the fast foods for salads and better healthier meals...but since we moved here; sure we had pizza's from pizza hut, or burgers from McDonalds...that's treat meals...but this, this is the first time that it wasn't a treat that I've had a burger from a burger van." Dad said as I nodded, then we both finished up our meals and drinks and then dad signed an autograph for the girl who owned the burger van and then we went shopping. (Dad doesn't mind getting asked for autographs...mom gets a bit edgy, but then calms down afterwards when dad tells her that if it wasn't for the fans, he and other wrestlers from TNA wouldn't be wrestling.)
"Hey dad, whatcha think of this?" I said as I jokingly held up a swimsuit. "I dunno...but you're old enough to make your decisions...you're fourteen years old...not four; so if you wanna get it; then get it." He said as I put it back. "Nah, I just wanted to see what you'd say. Mom would say something if I picked a bikini or a swimsuit that looked "too revealing" and wanted to get it." I replied as dad laughed. "Yeah, that sounds like your mother all right...she was the same about her best friend...when she walked around in a bikini on that hot day; she freaked out a bit. Luckily; their friendship is still intact." Dad replied as I ran up to him, but stopped as I saw something, this time it was my turn to laugh.
"Hey dad, look at this!" I said as he walked to me. "Oh yeah...they've started to make me as a figurine now...they've done it since I was suicide." Dad replied as we grabbed some stuff – Ice cream, sweets and soda, then paid for it. As we went to the car; I yawned and then fell asleep on the way back. Dad noticed this and smiled to himself as we got back home, mom looking outside the window; then coming to the car. I just remember falling asleep at home...but then waking up in my bed in my jammies...not my clothes, which scared me a bit. "How did I get these on?" I said as mom came in and sat down. "I did sweetheart. You were out of it; you must have been really sleepy as you've slept through a lot of hours." Mom said as I jumped; then got out of my bed, for mom to put me back in. "Shh, it's three in the morning, everybody is in bed." She said as she tucked me in, then gave me a kiss on the head as I yawned once more, falling asleep; not wanting to wake up until the morning when dad said he would take all of us out to Disney World...for a fun day out, which I cannot wait for; I think that's more what made me sleepy – the excitement of having dad with us whilst we go around the parks...however; what's excited me more is, that Christmas is mere six weeks away, whilst the Final Resolution pay per view is three weeks away.
