"SURPRISE!"
Carol congratulated her son in coming 2nd place in their region.
"Mom, I was so good that scouts from OVW in Ohio asked me to come to wrestle for them"John smiled.
His mother looked shocked and dissappointed, "John, I thought you weren't serious about this. You're going to college, I thought you wanted to be a history teacher? What happened to that?" she asked in a discouraged voice.
"I do mom, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You know I love to wrestle and I would be great at it."
"I don't care. Your going to be risking your life everyday. I won't know where you are. Its not a stable job, you could get fired at any random moment."
"Mom, there are such things as contracts. I know how to take care of myself, you taught me. I'll be alright."
"John, tell your son he can't do this."Carol demanded her husband almost in tears.
"I don't know how to Carol. This is what he wants."
"Is this what you want too? You know I can't believe you, you're the one who got him into wrestling, trained him, encouraged him. How could you do this?"
"It's what he wants, all I want is what he wants. I know he'll suceed, I've trained him well." John sr. smiled.
Carol just shook her head in tears and went upstairs.
"So….is that a yes or a no?"John joked.
John sr. gave John a look telling him to go away.
John went up to his room and thought about how it would be to work in the WWF. Traveling all the time, city to city, meeting new people everyday, meeting his favorite superstars. He just wished he could make it there but he also hoped that his dreams wouldn't tear his parents apart.
