As I followed Kevin and Shawn to Vince's office I wondered why I was being summoned by the great and powerful Oz. Oh shit! Maybe he heard about my arguments with Trips and silicone Barbie, and he was going to tell me to pack my bags and get the hell out.
"Hey guys, why do you think I'm being summoned by Vince?" I asked looking worriedly between the two towering men. They both just shrugged and looked at me as we came to Vince's office door. Kevin knocked and we heard Vince say to come in.
We entered and immediately saw Vince sitting behind a desk reading a stack of papers. He looks up at us and says, "Oh good you're here. Have a seat."
We sit down and patiently wait for Vince to tell us why we were there. He made us wait another good five minutes before starting the conversation. I guess he wanted to make sure that we knew he had control—as if we could forget! Finally he sets the papers down and looks at us. "Well, I guess you guys are wondering what this is about; especially you Victoria." He nods in my direction. Vince gets up from his chair and moves around to the front of the desk and leans on it.
"We have decided to build a story line involving you guys and Evolution." Vince says looking at Kevin and Shawn. "We have decided to start a new story line with you and Kevin and Evolution." Vince says to Shawn. "We will also be adding Rena and Lisa Marie as new female members of Evolution. That means that Trish will obviously working with Kevin and you. Victoria this is where you come in." Vince says acknowledging my presence.
'Ok where did that come from?' I think. I know that Vince would not appreciate me arguing with him, after all he is the boss, but I had no wrestling experience. Why was I being brought into the story? I look at Vince and express my concern.
"Vince, while I appreciate what you want to do, why me? I don't know how to wrestle."
"Well, first I hear that you are not afraid to stand up for yourself. As a matter of fact, I hear that you are quite good at the insults." Vince says kind of smirking. "Second, I have sources that tell me that you have a Master Black Belt in Judo, so I'm sure that you can pick up wrestling moves quite easily. And obviously you have the look for TV" Vince says as he looks me over from head to toe.
"You said yourself, that you are unemployed and would be traveling with the WWE for a while. Here is a way for you to make money while you are with us. We will have a contract for you tomorrow. I am sure that you will find the terms quite satisfactory."
The way he explained himself was in a manner that said 'don't argue with my decision', so I just looked at everyone and sat back in my seat.
"Don't worry sweetie we will all work with you in the ring." Shawn says as he and Kevin turn to look at me.
"Besides Vicks, you and Trish have already done a few things in the ring, and you picked those up really quickly. I think you'll be a natural." Kevin points out.
"We will be introducing the story on RAW in a couple of weeks and will provide you with the background as soon as it is finalized. I have also built time in each of your schedules to train with Victoria." Vince further explained as he sat down behind the desk once again. "Victoria, you will be introduced on Raw as Kevin's sister in a non wrestling capacity first. You will need to come up with another name to use on the show since we will already have one Victoria. We will also discuss that tomorrow." "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. If you will excuse me I have some things to take care of before show time." Vince dismisses us and returns to his work.
Kevin, Shawn and I walk to the catering area in silence. Once we arrive there, we take a seat in the back of the room and look at each other.
"Ok guys, somebody speak. How did I get into this? I'm not a diva, and I certainly was not planning on becoming a wrestler." I say slumping down in my chair.
"Don't be afraid." Kevin finally speaks. "Like I told Vince, I've watched you and Trish working out together, and you are a natural."
"Between Kev, Trish and you will be in ring shape in no time." Shawn said confidently, "Besides that I'm sure that Mark, Glen and a few of the others will be happy to pitch in."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence guys, and I appreciate all the help I can get. I'm not worried about the actual wrestling part. As a matter of fact, that's the part I'm looking forward to most. I love all of that physical stuff." I say. "My problem is that I'm brand new around here, and haven't paid any dues. All of the sudden, I'm being put into a major story line. Won't that offend people?"
"I see your point. It does kind of look like you cut in line, so to speak." Kevin says as both he and Shawn nod. "You are not the first family member that has been brought in like this. What you need to do is keep your head down, work hard, and be respectful of those who have been here."
"I can do that. Like I said, I don't want to be disrespectful and I certainly don't want to find Nair in my shampoo." I laugh. "How 'bout you guys? Do you have a problem with this?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Looking forward to it!"
That night, I paid close attention to the mechanics of all the matches, hoping to pick up a few things by watching. I especially paid close attention to Trish, Nora, Lisa Marie and Amy during their four way match. I had seen Trish and Nora before the show started, and told them about the meeting with Vince. Both were actually quite excited, and agreed to help me train.
That night everyone made their way to the hotel and went straight to their rooms. The next day was going to be an early travel day.
As I climbed into bed beside Shawn, I could not help but wonder what exactly I had gotten myself into. Even though everyone had been great about it when they found out, I was still somewhat concerned. As I snuggled into Shawn's side, and drifted to sleep, I said a silent prayer that this would work out ok.
AN: Ok guys, I know that this is a slow short chapter, but I wanted to set up the next phase of the story, and get some ideas down on paper. I don't know if there is an exact title like that in Judo, but it sounded good. Please read and review.
Thanks to those who have reviewed so far. It helps soo much to have feedback.
