October 1.
Well, it's official- my first day on the job. Luckily, I knew the way to the place by heart- I had been to wOwfed offices with Shane and Sharon so many times since I was young that it was no problem. As I reached the wOwfed offices, I met up with one of my best friends, Steve Evans. I had known him since high school, and we had both managed to break into wrestling about the same time. We had put on a couple decent matches around the region, leading to us both being considered as people with good upside potential. When I told my brother I was interested in working for wOwfed, I passed him a tape of me and Steve's best match. Due to the quality of the match on the tape, Shane decided to hire Steve with the intent of pushing us as their new "blowjob" tag team for the next generation.
"You ready, man"
Steve"I was born ready..." We walked through the doors and sat down. It's strange- I remember watching matches for this company since I was really young, but being an employee, being one of the in-ring talent makes it almost seem more...different. Eventually, we were told to meet our boss, Robbie Richter, in his office, which was really a nicer name for the family room.
Robbie"Well, well, well- little Tommy Goddard...I remember when you were just this high..."
"Hello, Mr.Richter..."
Robbie"Come on- you've known me this long, call me Robbie. You know, your brother and sister have put some pretty big shoes to fill here in wOw: both of them were great wrestlers for me, and now they're high on my staff here..."
"Well, I'd like to think my family saved the best for last..."
Robbie"Good man- from what I've seen, I think you'll do all right..." Robbie had me wait a little bit, before my siblings came through.
Robbie"I assume you two need no introduction, but this is one of our trainers and low-midcarders, Sharon Goddard, and this is our head booker and low-midcarder, Shane Goddard, and his beautiful wife Sophie..."
"We've met- I'm pretty close to their mother, don'tcha know..."
Robbie"I see...so, I assume you've heard the rumor about wOwfed- most of the young guys who come out of New England have, all of the Rhode Island boys we bring in have, and when they're basically like a prince of the place, you must have grown up with it"
"Of course..."
Robbie"Well, I just let all of them know- whatever happens outside the ring is separate from in the ring, just as long as it doesn't get in the way of your wOwfed duties..."
Shane"...And when it does, I'm right there to regulate"
Robbie"Your brother's invaluable to this place...does all that we need. Booking, Road agent work, wrestling, writing...it's great. Shane's been our MVP in the ring for around 14 years now, and now he's becoming the same outside the ring. Now, I assume you're interested in the people we have here...I mean, you'll probably want to know who you can work with, right"I looked at the male roster. It looked like a great mix of up-and-coming superstars on the indy circuit.
"Not bad for these people..."
Robbie"It is good, huh? It just shows what a good reputation can do for someone..."
"And the female staff"
Shane"Well, we will be signing many more soon- female wrestlers seek this place out like it's nirvana. Actually, we've got two under contract right now..."
"Very cool..." Just then, a beautiful girl came was seen in the hallway, as Steve's head turned to check her out...
Steve"Hey, Tom, I think I see one of the girls under contract! I recognize her- she's considered the best female prospect in New England! I've heard WWE's sent feelers to her matches- think she can be the next Diva"
Robbie"Oh, Steve, I see you know of my daughter's reputation..." Daughter? You mean... Suddenly, I felt a flashback coming on...
15 years ago
Young girl"Hi, there. I'm Jocelyn- my daddy runs this federation for a living. He's really cool..."
Young boy"Hi...I'm Tom. My sister's in the ring. She's mean and stuff..."
Jocelyn (5y)"AAAAA! You're not gonna beat me up like your sister did to my mommy, are you? She was trying to hurt her and stuff..."
Tom (5y)"Um...no..."
Jocelyn (5y)"Okay! Let's play- daddy says he knows how these things turn out... He must be psychic or something, because they always end up that way! Isn't that weird"
10 years ago
Jocelyn (10y)"That match wasn't too bad, considering what we usually get..."
Tom (10y)"Yeah, your brother Brad's pretty decent in the ring..."
Jocelyn (10y)"Not as good as Shane is...he is talented, and SOOOO cute..."
Tom (10y)"Eeewwwww...I'm telling him you said that..."
Jocelyn (10y)"Meany"
I tried to get out of the flashback sequence quickly- they feel rather unpleasantly like being drunk. Just then, Jocelyn came up to me...
Jocelyn"Tommy! What've you been up to? I haven't seen you in 7 years..."
"I know! I just signed with your father..."
Jocelyn"I know- dad told me you signed with us, and asked if I wanted to be your manager. I'm excited- I mean, Dad trained me, he knows I'm talented, but he never really allowed me to do much more than just interviewing when I'm with wOwfed..."
"Excellent- at least now I know there'll be a friendly face that I'm working with..."
Steve"Hey, I AM under contract to team with you..."
"Oh, sorry... this is your other client, Steve Evans..."
Steve"Excellent...I always like to work with a...beautiful girl like yourself..." I made a "cut-throat" sign to Steve... "Um...I'll just go over there now...I'll see you next show"
Jocelyn"Cool! I'll see you Friday, then..."
"Friday"
Jocelyn"Come on,
you're working it and you don't know when we have our show on public
access" Jocelyn left the room, as I got a sneaking suspicion
that I knew who I wanted to confess to me when we left...
That Friday, I was hyped up. I was so ready to work that I couldn't even think straight. I turned the radio to the next possible one...
"Welcome to WREF, All Re-Release Notes, All the Time. I am Reflecto. Most of the matches originally made for the first few months of the diary will be skipped over due to a number of things. The roster of wOwfed changed dramatically from Volume 1 to Volume 2 due to them being different RaveX scenarios with added people, and also due to my feeling that I didn't really get in the swing of matches for a large portion of Volume 1. (Of course, most who read would say I still haven't , but that's besides the point...)"
After the match, I was a little iffy on the show's results...it seemed like it was a fairly poor matchup. While I was backstage, I saw Jocelyn come back and introduce me to someone...
Jocelyn"Oh, hi Tom! I wanted to introduce you to one of my friends...Jamie, this is my old friend, Tom Goddard..."
Jamie"Charmed...Jamie Kogyaru, All-State wrestler 3 years running...""
"Ah...another amateur trying to make it in wOwfed? Pretty cool- we've had some good female amateurs here. Good luck..."
Jamie"Thanks...I'll see you around..."
Steve"Yeah, she'll 'see you around'...and by that, I mean she'll have sex with you"
Jocelyn"Is your friend always like this"
"Most of the time, yes..."
(Evans moment"Tom has met 2 GIRLS. SAVING...")
