***Chapter 6***
A couple of weeks later, Paul was running extremely late because his flight was delayed…he wasn't going to get there until the beginning of the second hour of Smackdown. He was usually never late, but because of the rain, the airport stopped all flights for a couple of hours.
Stephanie called me into her office and said, "Miche, I have a match for you, if you're interested." I said, "I don't know…" Steph said, "C'mon if you're as good as Paul seems to think you are, then why are you letting him hold you back, you could actually have a really good career as a wrestler. C'mon it's going to be a tag match with Kurt Angel & Terri against you and Adam Copeland (Edge)." I said, "I don't even have anything to wrestle in, and do you guys want me to have a ring name or something?" Steph said, "Paul told me you're dad used to call you Mystery…I think that would work. And I think Trish has some extra wrestling gear, she's down in her dressing room…" I said, "Okay, I'll try it and see how it feels." Steph said, "Great, I'll let the others know."
I walked out and Trish was waiting for me…she smiled and said, "C'mon, I'll fill you in on a few things while you change." I said, "Okay." I was changing and Trish said, "Okay, you have to watch Kurt because sometimes he forgets he's not wrestling Olympians anymore. He can get carried away with the slams and the fireman carry slams, Terri is a piece of cake, just drag her around the ring by her hair for a while…anytime you can tag Adam and let him in, cause what ever time you get to breath you'll need it. The guys usually do a lot of the physical stuff, but when you get involved…be careful…they zone out fast and really get into it forcefully."
I said, "WOW!" She said, "What?" I said, "Good lord girl, this is one skimpy outfit…especially if you're wrestling in it." She laughed and said, "Don't worry about it, just think of it as a bathing suit." I said, "I would but I think my suit has more material then this…that or I never realized how skimpy my bathing suit was."
I walked out from behind the changing curtain and had on black plastic short, a matching sports bra top and matching knee-high wrestling boots, that had about an inch and a half heel on them, to make me a little taller…I pulled my hair up into a pony tail.
Trish said, "You look great, you almost look better in that outfit then I do…" I said, "Yea, I just hope the first tumble I take that nothing pops out of where ever it may be stuffed." Trish looked at me and we both started laughing…Trish and I had been friends since she had joined the WWFE. We could sit and make jokes about our bodies and each others bodies, but never really took offense to any of it. We were always laughing about something.
A couple of minutes later, someone knocked on the door…I walked over and opened it…it was Adam…he said, "Well are you ready y--…"as he looked up he stopped in mid-sentence…I just stood there, with my hand on my hip, and said, "You wanna finish you're sentence, or was that the whole thing?" Adam said, "Damn woman…you should have become a wrestler a long time ago…you got the body for it." I said, "Are you done staring?" He said, "No could you turn around I want a view from the back." I turned around and he said, "That's it I can't go out there now…"
I looked down and said, "No, I guess there is nothing more embarrassing then trying to wrestle another guy with an enormous erection." Trish started laughing so hard…her boyfriend Mark LaMonica (Bub-Buh Ray Dudley) walked in and said, "What's so funny?" Adam grabbed my hand and drug me down the hallway, and Trish said, "Nothing," Running over to the door and yelling down the hallway… "Good luck Michelle." I yelled back, "Thanks." I was laughing my ass off, and Adam said, "Okay it's time to get serious…see it's going away." I said, "Adam its okay, chill out…" We stood behind the curtain for a few minutes and his music cued up…Terri and Kurt were already in the ring…
The idea of the match was for Terri to lour Adam away and it would leave me and Kurt in the ring, and after a couple of fake slams on me, I was to regain the upper hand and win the match…which everything seemed to be going smoothly. I threw Terri across the ring by her hair and she bounced on her ass to the corner that Kurt was in…she tagged him in, and I started to walk away when he grabbed me and slammed me as hard as he could…Kurt knocked the breath out of me…by now I could see Adam walking up the ramp in hot pursuit of Terri…I started to get up and Kurt slammed me like 4 more times…I could barely breath.
About that time, Paul had gotten there, and saw what was going on in the ring, and busted through Stephanie's door, and said, "What the fuck is this shit?" Steph jumped up and said, "She's a natural don't you think?" Paul said, "Stephanie you're such a fucking bitch, you set her up…didn't you? She's going to get hurt." Steph smiled devilishly and said, "That's the whole idea…why do you think I had Kurt do it, he's worse then anyone here…I told him to not go soft on her, that she could handle anything and to be as rough as possible to make it look real. She shouldn't have taken you away from me."
Paul said, "I hate to tell you this Steph, she didn't take me away from you…you did…you cheated on me with that overgrown ass…I have a little news for you…Kurt maybe the worse…but he's only the worse when I'm not here." He walked out and by now the cameras were in there and Stephanie had to go into character, and started yelling, "HUNTER GET BACK IN HERE, I'M NOT FINISHED TALKING TO YOU….HUNTER….. HUNTER!!!"
JR said, "Oops, looks like Mrs. Game, isn't too happy tonight." Jerry said, "Yea, and it looks like Mr. Game is on his way out here…but why we still have 5 minutes for this match left…even though it was over 2 minutes ago." Kurt had slammed me so many times, I was completely out of it…I could feel my eyes when I would blink, and I swear they were swelling up, I felt myself having a severe concussion…and I had a headache the size of Brazil. Kurt was about to slam me again, when Paul's music came up, and he had a mic and was walking down to the ring…Kurt let go of me and I was leaning against the ropes…and I was so completely out of it, that I laid down in a ball in the corner…
Paul as Hunter said, "Kurt, this is not how you wrestle, you don't go after someone smaller and weaker then you…" Kurt said, "Triple H, fuck off, this is my match…not yours…you're wife gave it too me so I could display my talent to everyone." Hunter said, "What talent? You never had any talent…and the only talent you're showing these fans is that you know how to beat up a woman." Kurt said, "Well step up to the plate then…game" Hunter, dropped the mic and started beating the crap out of Kurt…my eyes were open a little, enough to see Paul give the pedigree to Kurt. Kurt laid there like the lump that he was, and Paul got out of the ring, and pulled me out and into his arms, he carried me up the ramp to the back…
Terri and Adam ran over and said, "What the hell happened, Michelle was supposed to win the match, not get hurt." Paul said, "Yea, well Stephanie had different plans for her…Steph set her up to get hurt." Adam said, "I'm so sorry Paul, I swear I thought she was going to win, if I would have known that Kurt was going to go all psycho on her, I wouldn't have left the ring." Paul said, "It's not your fault man, you didn't know, you were just following the script." Terri said, "I think she's awake."
About that time Trish and Mark ran down to where the EMT's were at, they had me on a stretcher, and were trying to get vitals and stuff to check me out when I started moving around. Trish pushed Adam out of the way and said, "What the hell happened out there Adam?" Adam said, "Stephanie set her up to get hurt, she had to of made plans in advance with Kurt." Trish said, "I'm going to kill that little bitch." She started to go after Stephanie when Mark wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up off the ground…she was kicking and screaming…Mark sat her down and said, "Stop!…you need to chill out…they're going to take her to the ER do you want to go too?" She calmed down and said, "Yes, let's go."
They went ahead and took me to the ER…on the way there I passed out…no big…just a little more pain then I bargained for.
