I saw what Damien had planned. I didn't like it. I
didn't want him to leave on an acount of me. That
wouldn't be right. But, I couldn't blame him, or
anyone else in that circle to leave. I had no contact
with any of them. I did nothing to let them know how I
was.
At Smackdown I had to do something. I came in, no one
noticed. That was the way it would stay. Then, my
music hit and everyone went insane. I came walking
down in my street clothes with a mic to the ring. I
stood in the center and took everything in.
"Jeff! You might want to see this!" Adam yelled. Jeff
came running in, a huge smile came accross his face.
"Do you think?" Jay asked.
"I don't know." Adam answered. "Just watch."
"I know I shouldn't be here untill RAW on Monday." I
said. "But, I felt I had to do something. No, I don't
have a decision yet on if I am going to return." The
crowed was upset about that. "But, I don't want anyone
leaving if I don't come back. That goes for Jeff,
Matt, Edge, Christian, and Damien. I know the story, I
watch every match. I saw what Damien said, and then
how Raven fucked it all up. But, I will refuse to come
back if anyone thinks about leaving because of me."
Then, something unexpected happened. Angel's music
started. I knew Angel had a problem with me the day I
walked in. I was there for The Rock every step of the
way when he was going for the WWF Title. I helped him
strip Angel of it. He wanted revenge.
"How sweet." He said. "A fallen icon returns to say
some sugar coated crap. I'm touched."
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing really. Just here to remind you that I
face The Rock for the WWF Title tonight. It's true,
it's true." God, thoes two words. "And, since you
haven't made a decision on if you'll be back, I guess
you can't help him win. So, I guess this is a look at
the new WWF Champ." He smiled. "You never were cut out
to be the WWF Champ anyway. So, maybe that backlash
was a good thing. And, you leaving is a better one."
"I will be a better champ than you'll ever be." I
said. Being reminded of my whole two days as WWF Champ
were taking it's tole. I was getting chocked up and I
never cry.
"Don't make me laugh sweet-heart." He said. "And,
after I beat The Rock I will be more than happy to
challange you to a title match."
"You have yourself a deal." I said.
"Alright. A smart person would say no." He replied. "I
mean, I don't want to embarrass you more."
"The only one that will be embarrassed is you after I
kick your ass." I said. "Oh, it's true, it's true." I
said moching him.
He laughed as he turned and left. Then, I realized he
had just tricked me into coming back. I had to now. I
had no choice. I couldn't back down from this
challange. But, if he didn't win, which I'm sure he
wouldn't, I didn't have to come back.
I dropped the mic and tears started to fall. I crawled
out of the ring and went backstage. I didn't want to
run into anyone. I didn't want to talk to anyone. But,
I ran into Chyna.
"What you did was noble." She said. "Accepting Angel's
challange like that."
"Shouldn't have." I replied. "But, I couldn't back
down in front of everyone." I sighed. "Do you really
think I should come back?"
"You owe it to yourself to." She answered. "You
leaving proved Vince right. You couldn't do it. Now, I
know how it feels to be in a man's world like this.
And, I know you can. Even if Angel wins tonight, and
you lose on RAW, you still put up a good fight, and
that's what the people want to see."
"Yeah, the same people that turned on me the second I
held that belt above my head. I should stick to the
Intercont Belt or something. Maybe the Woman's Title."
"This is a huge honer, at leat you had the WWF Title.
Even if Austin took the fall. I know you can do all
this. You are a very talented wrestler. And, if you
don't, it's nothing to be embarrassed about."
She left. I sat in a chair far away from anyone's
dressing rooms. Molly walked past. She did a double
take and turned and came to me.
"You're back?" She asked.
"Not yet." I answered. "I had to make a speech."
"Oh, I missed it. I just came in." She said. "What
kind of speech?"
"It ended with Angel challanging me to a title match
if he beats The Rock tonight."
"Oh. Angel won't win." She said. "Have you seen
Damien?"
"Nope, only person I saw was Chyna."
"I'm looking for him." She said.
"I saw what happened with Raven."
"Oh, please, don't get me started with that man."
"You and Damien make a cute couple." I told her.
"Thanks, I really really like him. From the moment I
saw him. Then, he had this thing for you and I thought
I'll never have a chance against her."
"He's a great guy. One of my best friends." I said.
"I know. Just hope we last a long time."
"He likes you. I can tell by the way he looks at you."
She smiled. Then, she went to find Damien. The Rock vs
Kurt Angel was just about to start. I didn't want to
face Angel one bit. The match was hard, The Rock had
just gotten a moonsault. Something I didn't know Angel
was able to do. Anyway, I did the only thing I could
think of to help The Rock, run in. I ran in and
grabbed the WWF Title I once held. I beat Angel over
the head with it. In this match, anything gose. So,
The Rock couldn't get disqulified because of me. I
continued my beating on Angel. If I pinned him, I
could walk away with the title. But, I couldn't do
that to Rocky. So, after a few moves, I left the
beating to The Rock. He won.
He pulled me into the ring and let me hold the WWF
Title above my head. He hugged me. Thanking me. I
guess I had made my decision about coming back.
