We went ahead and sat down…I got stuck between Mark and Glenn…Mark said, "Well…let me introduce you to all the boys…Right to left, Brock Lesner, Paul Wight, Paul Levesque, Stephanie McMahon…she's the daughter of the CEO of the WWFE company…her and Paul Levesque are married…Mark LaMonica, Trish Stratus…She's married to Mark…Devon Hughes, John Layfield, Ron Simmons."
I said, "Damn…you people are huge…I feel so short." Trish said, "How do you think I feel…I'm even shorter then you…I'm in the Valley of the Giants here." I couldn't help but laugh, she was right…Stephanie was probably about the same height as me…but Trish was considerably shorter.
We went ahead and ate…and then went to the arena…Mark said, "So what did you think about all of them?" I said, "They don't seem as rough around the edges as you do." Mark said, "Yea…but I know I can be an asshole…I had to put up a wall around fans…otherwise they'd cross the boundaries way too much…you'd be surprised what fans would want from you…"
I said, "My fans are crazed animals…but they can get pretty demanding in wanting to know every detail of my life." Mark said, "That's the same with wrestlers…except we call the women ring rats…which means the only reason a woman would want to screw you is because she's in love with your character and not the person…which sometimes it's enough and sometimes it's not."
I said, "You would just jump into bed with anyone because they wanted you because you were the Undertaker?" Mark said, "Yea…the road was a lonely place to be especially if you was traveling with about 100 other guys…it gets boring fast and you get horny real easy…I did it more when I was younger…but as I got older…I needed something more stable and permanent…If I'm screwing some girls brains out I want her to scream out Mark…not Undertaker…" I said, "Well…I can certainly understand that part…I just don't get the use in having sex with someone you don't love…and you won't ever be seeing them again after that one night." Mark said, "Hell, it doesn't bother guys a bit…" I said, "I imagine not."
When we got to the arena…I walked over and sat in a chair next to the ring and while the guys got in the ring…I pulled out my guitar and started playing the same melody over and over…ever since we'd eaten…I couldn't get the melody out of my head…and after my enlightening talk with Mark…I started coming with my lyrics to go with the song…
After about an hour, I had a full song…John Layfield, heard me playing and walked over and said, "You do country music?" I smiled and said, "Yea…I do a little bit of everything…I don't like to stay in one type of music, it gets boring after a while…so I figure I mix in all types of songs on an album…and it would draw in not only adults, but also kids…it's just the type of music, you can listen to and say you really like it."
John said, "Well, I think you play beautifully…why don't you sing something." I said, "Thank you…but I'm not really sure about that…I can perform on a stage…but just sitting around and performing for people…makes me nervous…" Trish and Stephanie walked over and Trish said, "Yea, play something, please…I've so had enough of listening to the guys bark out orders to each other…I need something to relax me for a few minutes." I said, "I better not…I don't want to disturb you guys practicing."
Mark and Glenn walked over with the others and Mark said, "Go ahead and play something for them…all of them could use a break." I looked and Mark and half smiled and said, "So you guys want something fast or slow?" John said, "Hell, speaking for myself I want to hear something slow to relax me…" Stephanie said, "Yea, some kind of love song…what about the one we heard you working on?" I said, "Okay…"
As all of them sat down and watched me…Mark kept his eyes on me the whole time…he stood behind everyone with Glenn…Glenn could tell he was watching me with intent…but Mark never took his eyes off me for a second…unless he blinked…I started the melody and took off from there.
When I finished every one thanked me and gave me some compliments…then they went back to their practicing…and I walked over and watched as Mark took charge with telling them what to do…and what he wanted to see from them…
