4:00 P.M.- I met with the sound guy, and he played my new theme music,
which was great, as the Tough Enough winner, Union Underground had
contacted the WWF after I won and told them they wanted to write and play
my theme music. It's called "Tough Guys finish first." Next I met with the
seamstress to get a good look at my new ring attire. I had my own T-shirt,
which is all Black and says in big Silver letters "Who told you, you were
Tough Enough." I also wear a pair of black shorts with a big silver M on
the side.
My titantron video for now shows Tough Enough hi-lights such as me and the others wrestling the trainers and each other, most focusing on me, and ending in my moonsault from one of our training sessions.
4: 30 P.M.- I met with some of the guys, a few I met on Tough Enough, such as the Hardy's, others I'd never met, like Chavo Jr. and Hugh Morrous.
Matt: Hey there, Maven, great opportunity tonight huh?
Maven: yeah I can't believe I'm working my first match against Rob Van Dam.
Jeff: He's the perfect guy to work against first, he'll put you over, even by winning, and he's one of the best around. Watch out though he tends to bust ya open.
Maven: yeah he said he'd really watch that tonight.
We all laughed.
Chavo: You got a hell of a break man, winning that competition, some of the guys aren't cool with that, but you impress em enough they'll except you.
Maven: Well I'm going to give it 140% out there tonight, first impressions have to be the best ones.
Hugh: Don't plan on using that moonsault of yours, I wouldn't want you to be embarrassed when I do mine later tonight.
Maven: Actually my match is after yours so maybe I'll just have to embarrass you.
We all laughed, Hugh and Chavo and the Hardy's had a tag match to work out, so I took off looking for some of the other boys.
5:15P.M- They were all pretty busy so I just gave my mom a call, and talked to her for a while before my match, kind of trying to keep the excitement down, but she wasn't having none of that. She was down right jumpy with excitement, asking me when I'd be on and such; I told her that we were scheduled to wrestle right after The Big Show vs. Tajiri. She said she was recording it, and she couldn't wait to see me in my first real storyline. Well after hanging up with her I was more excited than ever, so I had to workout some to work a little of that off. So I headed for the gym and ran into The Big Show, who I had just been talking about with my mom.
Show: Hey Maven, how's it going man, I filmed an appearance on Tough Enough 2, working with the new guys, they seem pretty talented. I guess it debuts in a couple of months now.
Maven: That's great man, I can't wait to see how these guys fare against Bob I heard he's gonna be so much harder to deal with than Tazz.
Show: Yeah he's a mean son of a bitch. Anyway, I heard your working with Rob tonight, I wish you luck man. He's a fun guy to work against; he really makes the matches a blast.
Maven: Cool well I'm on my way to work out a little, is there a gym close.
