As I was walking toward Shane, Justin Westman, who wrestled as Fire part of the newest formation of Fire and Ice and one half of the tag champs came up to me. He had been guest trainer a month ago with his tag partner Ice, Glen Silverman.
"Hey Danny. I didn't know you were involved in this. How do you know Shane?"
Oh boy. This was a difficult question. "Long story. I met him through Eddy." Which was the truth. Course I could thank Bischoff too but I wasn't about to tell Justin that.
"Hey that's cool. From talking to the people who were here ten years ago, they are all glad Shane's back. Relieved too. Dustin's been a good boss. He's fair."
I hadn't actually met Dustin. He's talking to some of the bookers and Shane, but his reputation speaks for itself. Most people compared him to his father. That was the OVW gossip anyway. They are always gossiping about both companies. But then again I guess that happens everywhere.
He walked away saying he needed to talk to Glen about the tag match on Thunder. I continued walking over to Shane.
"No I won't be in Orlando. I've still got a few things to take care of." Shane was saying. "Dustin I need you to keep being in charge of WCW. I just had to shake things up. Nothing changes guys. Not right now anyway."
A kid that didn't look much older then Trevor came up to Michael. Michael walked away from the group but I could hear them. "Dad mom wanted me to tell you she's taking me and Belinda home."
"Okay Louie I'll be there in a bit." He saw me staring at them and smiled.
"I've got a brother about that age." I explained.
"Ah. Louie and Belinda usually don't come to the shows. We have a nanny that comes with us on the road but she's got family here in Daytona Beach so we gave her the night off. But I miss having them backstage. I know Lisa Marie does too. She's my wife and wrestlers here as Victoria." I nodded as if I knew what he was talking about.
Shane came over then. "Sorry to interrupt Mike but Danny and I have to go. Long drive back."
"Good to have you back Shane."
"Thanks good to be back." He called goodbye and we headed out of the Ocean Front Center.
When we got to the car, Shane seemed to tense again. He made a phone call to the cabin. "Hey Owen? You guys saw Nitro? Yeah it went well with the exception of Vince showing up. Yeah we are coming there first thing in the morning. Probably stay the night in Louisville. Yeah put him on. Hi Eddy. He's fine and was a big help." He looked over at me. "Yeah probably. They talked. Yeah that'd work. I don't know. Okay see you tomorrow. Hi Marissa. They did? It didn't worry them did it? Yeah. What did you tell them? Oh boy. Guess we'll have to talk about it later. Give them a kiss for me. Love you too. Bye." He hung up and sighed. "She had to tell Andi and Wes that that was their grandfather on TV. They had a lot of questions."
It was silent for awhile but I had to ask the question that was bothering me. "Matt and Amy told me about what happened to Matt but they both didn't seem to clear on what happened. Do you know?"
He sighed again. "That was what I was talking to Eddy about. Remember I wasn't there so I didn't see it. But you can guess who got the tape that showed it. You can see it tomorrow. It's something Matt either doesn't remember or didn't see it. From what I hear it was another if you weren't in the audience you didn't see it. And Vince was pretty good at making videos disappear. But he always gave them to Eric. And he always pretended to destroy them. Vince trusted Eric, which was his mistake and good luck for us. But you can see what happened on the tape. I'm thinking of inviting Matt and Amy to the RAW in Atlanta."
RAW was in Atlanta? Oh no! I know I was expected to go but I know this would be harder for me then Kemper. And my mom would find out sooner. I guess I'd have to get used to it.
"Hey Danny. I didn't know you were involved in this. How do you know Shane?"
