Chapter 51: Hall of Fame Ceremony
March 29, 2008
The Hall of Fame ceremony was in Orlando, Florida and Bobby and Delancey were riding in the limo on their way to the Amway Arena.
The whole time I'm looking out the window, I'm thinking about tomorrow. Whether or not I lose the Women's Championship to either Nicole or Rochelle, our friendship will never be broken. I had a good run while it lasted if it happens and nobody was able to withstand me now that I'm more stronger and in control than ever before.
"Delancey, are you all right?" Bobby said.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Delancey said. "Why do you ask?"
"Are you worried about Wrestlemania tomorrow?"
"No, I'm not. I mean, I just want this to be over. It doesn't matter who walks out the Women's Champion, but Vickie wants to hurt Rochelle, but Rochelle is gonna be the one to end up hurting Vickie. Vickie has constantly been getting on Rochelle's nerves and she was busted on Smackdown."
Oh, yeah. Vickie was busted on Smackdown when the Undertaker interrupted Edge's so-called "funeral" of ending his winning streak. When the Undertaker attacked Edge and the Edgeheads, Vickie got up from the wheelchair and ran to the back. Rochelle knew it all along that Vickie was faking her injuries the whole time.
"Looks like Rochelle is on her way to exposing Vickie once and for all," Bobby said.
"Yep, that girl will stop at nothing to restore some peace on Smackdown," Delancey said.
When the limo arrived at the Amway Arena, Bobby got out of it first and did the real gentleman thing by extending his hand to Delancey. She took it and Bobby helped her out of the limo. The two walked inside the arena and walked towards a crowd of WWE Superstars and their guests and Delancey took a quick staredown at Vickie Guerrero continued walking.
My first impulse was to walk over to Vickie, pound on her, and demand she cancels the triple threat match for the Women's Championship tomorrow; but instead, I just kept walking.
Then Delancey spotted Nicole, John, Tina, and her boyfriend Robbie and also saw Kayla and the Boyz in Motion. Then Delancey saw Brittany and Matt Hardy and she stopped walking.
"Bobby, could you hold on for just a second?" Delancey said.
"Okay, sure," Bobby said.
Then Delancey walked over to Brittany and Matt.
"Hey, guys," Delancey said.
"Hey, D," Brittany said.
"Matt, it's good to see you. How are you feeling?"
"I'm pretty good, thank you," Matt said.
"Um, would you mind if I talked to Brittany alone for a second?"
"Okay."
Then Matt walked away.
"So, are you feeling?" Delancey asked.
"Pretty good," Brittany said. "It's a shame that Jeff couldn't be here with me."
"Are you two still working things out?"
"Yeah, he's getting stuff together to rebuild a new house."
"That's good."
"So, is Bobby here with you?"
"Yes, he is."
"You are so lucky to have him in your life. He is a really great guy."
"Don't I know it? If it wasn't for him, I don't know where the hell I would be. I've waited a long time for someone like Bobby to come in my life. Sometimes I hope he comes back to the WWE, especially to take care of Santino."
"Yeah."
"Well, you take care and I'll catch you later."
"Okay."
Then the two hugged each other and Delancey walked away towards Bobby.
"So, how's Brittany?" Bobby said.
"I think she's doing okay," Delancey said.
Then Bobby and Delancey walked inside the auditorium.
The Hall of Fame ceremony was truly a wonderful ceremony. This year's inductees were "High Chief" Peter Maivia, "Soulman" Rocky Johnson, Mae Young, Gerald & Jack Brisco also known as the Brisco Brothers, Eddie Graham, Gordon Solie, and the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.
Ric Flair became the first active wrestler to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and hey, he deserves it after 36 years of professional wrestling. His speech was long and I shed into tears. If he loses to Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania, of course, everyone will be devastated but we have to remember all the good memories that Ric has given us throughout the years.
After that, Bobby and Delancey were in the lobby and decided to walk backstage. When they got there, Bobby and Delancey saw Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and walked over to him.
"Hey, Rock," Delancey said.
"Delancey, Bobby," Dwayne said as Delancey hugged him and pulled away. "It's so good to see you. You look great."
"Thank you."
Oh, I forgot to mention what I was wearing to the ceremony. I was wearing a black strapless gown with a golden dragon imprint and my hair was a curly sideway ponytail.
"Hey, Bobby, what's going on?" Dwayne said.
"Nothing much," Bobby said as he and Dwayne hugged each other. "I'm continuing to train and everything is going good."
"Alright. So, Delancey, are you kind of nervous about tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I am," Delancey said. "I mean, it's hard to look your friends in the eye before the biggest event of sports-entertainment and you have to face them. But one day, Nicole, Rochelle, and I are gonna look back on this and laugh. I'll be so happy when it's over."
"Well, good luck and what are you and Bobby doing right now?"
"We're going out to dinner and I'm gonna need plenty of sleep to be ready for tomorrow."
"Well, you take care."
"You too."
Then Dwayne and Delancey hugged each other.
"And I'll see you, Bobby," Dwayne said.
"See ya," Bobby said.
Then Bobby and Delancey walked away.
Later after dinner, Bobby and Delancey were in the hotel room sleeping; well, Delancey was awake. Then she got out of the bed and unplugged her cell phone from the nightstand. Then Delancey went out to the balcony and suddenly, her cell phone was ringing and it was shown that Rochelle was calling and Delancey answered the phone.
"Hello?" Delancey said.
"Hey, Delancey," Rochelle said calling from the balcony at another hotel.
"I'm surprised you called me first. I was just about to call you."
"Well, surprise, surprise. Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I mean, tomorrow is the big day, I mean, not my wedding, but, you know."
"Yeah, I'm kinda scared to call Nicole because you know how sensitive and emotional she is."
"Yeah, she is, especially with the triple threat match happening tomorrow."
"Yeah."
"Look, I've said this so many times, but even though we beat the hell out of the each other and it doesn't matter who's the Women's Champion, I hope this doesn't affect our friendship."
"It won't. We've been through so much over the past three years and nothing has ever changed our friendship. This won't either."
"Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow."
"See ya."
Then Delancey ended the call and went back inside the hotel room.
