No Way Out, February 27th, 2000
Well, the start of my first solo storyline begins today. Backstage is a hive of activity, lights being raised, pyro's being set up and final run throughs of chorography are being undertaken. I started this project in September and it's kinda surreal, I'm sat on the barrier by the ring watching the run through of the match between Dwayne Johnson and Paul Wight also known as The Rock and The Big Show. Suddenly, as I'd designed Shane ran in and hit Dwayne with an invisible steel chair. Paul claimed the pin and then celebrated with Shane.
Speaking of whom, we had worked well together and hadn't done many other things apart from work and drinking coffee. But, we have become close. Occasionally, he kissed my cheek, but nothing more.
I applauded them, it was visually impressive and I knew that Shane would get some major heel heat for laying out 'The People's Champ'. They left the ring and made way for the Hardyz and Edge and Christian, joining me on the barrier.
"Hey, Mads." Jeff shouted in my direction.
"Mads?" I asked
"Yeah, Kara Maddox. Mads." I grinned. "So, will ya be comin' to the after party?" he asked.
"After party?"
"Well, basically it's going to a club and partying til Vince finds us and whoops our collective asses."
"We don't finish until eleven."
"We go in waves, explain Shane O we need to go through this with these Canadians and the traitorous she devil."
Shane grinned at Jeff then at me, he placed his arm around me.
"Well, explain the system for me then."
"Will you be joining us?" I nodded. "After each PPV everyone goes to a club. We leave the arena like Rainbow said, Tonite after the first three bouts the no longer needed people leave, after thre sixth those people leave and finally after the last bout the remainder of us leave and join the others. We party until Vinnie Mac finds us and orders us to go back to the hotel, he follows us to ensure that we do. Unfortunately, main-eventers are the last to leave, we are on bout numero eight, we can sneak out after our fight but usually you need to wait."
"Could I bring a few friends, they're huge fans and... erm" I leant closer to him and wispered "they have a thing for the Hardyz."
"Sure." Shane led me backstage.
"I'll just make a call, any chance of erm, two backstage passes for tonite?" I smiled.
"You are very manipulative, Mads. Why not, after all your the one who's getting me back out there." he pointed to the ring. "Besides, if I keep you happy you might give me a new storyline."
"Maybe" I teased.
"And, I can find out all about you as well as what you've said about me."
"I still haven't met your wife really yet."
"You'll meet her sometime."
