Chapter 40
"Okay, so now you do a reverse ddt on me and I'll get my foot on the ropes. Ready to try it out?" Rob said to Matt.
"Matt? Matt?"
"What?" Matt said, shaking away the far away look in his eyes.
"What's with you?" Rob said shaking his head at him.
"What? Nothing. What's the next move?"
"I just said it. A reverse ddt and I get my foot on the ropes." Rob answered irritably.
.............................
"You see what I mean? The kid has been distracted for the past three months. He's been missing moves, his eyes are all sunken and god Vince, the kid looks like he hasn't slept in years. I personally think maybe he should take a break before he hurts himself or another wrestler." Pat Bischoff said to Vince as they watched the wrestlers practice before RAW.
"You're wrong Pat. Sure Matt might be a bit distracted now, but both he and his brother are two of the hardest workers I have."
"Well, taking Matt off the roster won't affect Jeff since they both decided they want to split the tag team. You can still have Jeff working. It's a matter of story lines..."
"No Pat, Matt's one of the most focused people I've ever met. This is just a fluke. I'll have a talk with him tonight."
"Sure thing boss. But you know my recommendation."
"I'll think about..." Vince broke off as a commotion began at the ring area.
.............................
"You asshole! What the hell was that?" Rob yelled at Matt.
"Shit, sorry. I didn't mean to do it so stiff."
"Fuck you man. God you almost broke my back. What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Rob, I'm sorry. Seriously I didn't..."
"God, Matt. I know you're all hung up on that chick but leave me out of it. I'm sorry she's banging your brother...OW!" Rob shouted in pain as blood poured out of his nose.
"Fuck you! You fucking prick, I never want to..." Matt broke off as Rob attacked him and tried to take him down.
"GOD DAMNIT! MATT! ROB! BREAK IT UP!" Vince yelled as he tried to pull the two men apart.
They finally separated, each with about three other wrestlers holding them back.
"Will someone tell me what the hell is going on here?" Vince said angrily.
"He fucked up the move Vince. And then he punched me. What the hell was I supposed to do? All I told him was not to take his anger on his brother out on me!" Rob said heaving for air as he glared angrily at Matt.
"Matt? What the hell? This is not like you? What's going on with you and J..."
"This is bullshit!" Matt grounded out furiously, then walked out of the ring, his feet echoing in the silent arena.
"What the...What's going on with Matt and Jeff?" Vince said to the other wrestlers who all stood back looking down on the ground.
"We don't really know Vince. I think it's something about some girl." Adam said quietly.
All the wrestlers had noticed the tension between the two brothers but no one had really any guts to discuss it with either of them.
"She's sleeping with Jeff and Matt can't...." Rob began.
"Oh shut the fuck up Rob, you don't know what the hell is going on?" Adam said.
"Alright, all of you get back to work. I'm going to get to the bottom of this." Vince said walking out of the ring with Pat following close behind him.
"Okay, so now you do a reverse ddt on me and I'll get my foot on the ropes. Ready to try it out?" Rob said to Matt.
