Notes: I was thinking this should be from Athena's POV because we've written a lot of Danny POV coming up. Don't ask why I picked this particular move I just happen to like how it's done.
I was working on a Japanese arm drag with Simone with Dean Malenko giving advice on it. What makes it different then a regular one is you cinch in tight and flip the person completely over. Dean said Ricky Steamboat and Ricky Morton did it in the 80s and early 90s. Simone was actually being civil for once.
While Simone works with someone else I look around the room. Danny's in one of the offices with a few others watching a video of an old wrestling match. Danny's sprained wrist has limited his training. Eddy, from what I have been told, hasn't left his office. Something about getting the guest trainer fixed for next week. Danny already told me it's supposed to be Helmsley but Eddy's trying to find a compromise that even Vince would agree to. I personally would love to put Stephanie in the Sharpshooter again. And Danny would like to strangle her husband but I know Eddy's trying to prevent that.
Speaking of which, here he comes now. "Sorry to interrupt. Chavo can you go get the others out of the tape and weight rooms?" Chavo went to do so. When everyone was back in the room he spoke. "As some of you may have heard, Hunter Hearst Helmsley was going to be guest trainer next week. I have been on the phone all morning. There has been a change made. There will be a guest trainer and sort of an advisor." Oh so Triple H will be there. Hmm that will be interesting. I wonder who this advisor will be. We've had them before. They just mean non-wrestlers or former wrestlers that are too old to wrestle. Or like Amy Hardy who came to just watch. "The guest trainer will be Shawn Michaels. He is coming in next week to make up for the week he missed." Is Helmsley acting as an advisor or something? And if so we have both Helmsley and Michaels? That can't be good. Oh Uncle Bret would kill them both. "And I have called in a favor. The advisor doesn't come from the WWE. I asked him myself to come in. His name is Bret Hart."
There was a lot of talking after that announcement. I was shocked. Wow Uncle Bret and Shawn Michaels training together? Or rather Uncle Bret advising? That's bound to be more volatile then if Helmsley was here. I looked over at Cam who was looking at me with a surprised look on his face. Next week certainly was going to be interesting.

When I got back to my apartment I found Uncle Bret watching TV. "Eddy told us about you being an advisor next week." I said as soon as I sat down.
"Yeah. Eddy wants me to keep an eye on Shawn. He thinks my being there will throw him off. Eddy doesn't trust him. Understandably so. I don't trust him. I'll probably choke him. But if it was HHH..." he trailed off. He didn't need to finish that. I knew what he meant.
"I almost wish Triple H would come." I said.
He smiled. "Me too but all considered I can see why Eddy doesn't want him here. Danny would be likely to tear his head off and you'd probably do the same to Stephanie. Eddy's pretty sure Vince is sending HBK to spy for him." He was quiet for a second. "Maybe it's best you don't associate with Cameron next week."
"What? Uncle Bret Cameron's a good guy. He'd never do anything." I wish Uncle Bret could understand that. "You know Eddy wouldn't have teamed him with Danny the other night if he wasn't."
"True though I sometimes wonder about Eddy's judgment. But just stay away from him. he may not be as bad as his father but I don't know him."
"You'll get to know him Monday." I pointed out.
"I'll be fair Monday but if Shawn and I are alone watch out."
I smiled. That might be something I'd want to see.
