SUMMARY:
Mac Diaz was your typical boy from the south. A charmer, a gentleman, and more importantly, a man to stay true to his roots and to his new wife. Once Mac finally gets the break he had worked for from his childhood, his debut in the WWE as part of a hot storyline - working with criminally beautiful women, his wife Callista becomes overwhelmed with jealousy.
Would Mac give up his boyhood dream to satisfy his new wife? Or would someone from his job be able to prove to Mac that sometimes, it's what you don't know that can't hurt you, but what you do know that will stab you in the back?
DISCLAIMER:
I only stake claim to the couple Callista and Mac. Any other created characters that'll come about will be properly credited. For example, Jared Hall, Mac's best friend, is credit to my pal Steph. This is the first story I'm writing from a MALE perspective, so bare with me. Unlike "Biggest & The Best" however, where Marlena is the main idea, Mac will be like that in "Dire Consequence". The biggest difference, is there will be blogs, like - journal entries, on "Mac's Website" maintained by his kid brother "Trick Matty", Mathew Diaz. That is so you can see inside of the character opposed to how the world is described around him.
I don't own the WWE.
I don't own the characters or people from the WWE.
And I most certainly do NOT state that any of the events in this story are real!
So just sit back and enjoy a little story time, eh?

Chapter One: Introducing Mac
----------------------
He was born Mackenzie Joseph Diaz on March 15th, 1980 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His parents, Julie Wilson-Diaz and Joseph Diaz, had two other children, both younger than Mac, named Rinoa and Mathew, the twins - born July 22nd, 1987. Growing up; Mac learned the importance of being a gentleman, being respectful to others and himself, which would further explain why he treated everyone he came across in his youth and into adulthood courteously. Then again, when you're born and raised in South Lou'sian… you've got a code of conduct to maintain, that doesn't necessarily involve mastering Mardi Gras celebrations and making killer gumbo.
Despite his love for all things Louisiana, at age fifteen he relocated to the biggest city in the north eastern United States, due to his father and their business. New York City, was where Mac would either be able to spend the rest of his life, or move back to the south when he grew old enough. But in the meantime, he'd have to go to school in Queens, protect his eight year old brother and sister, and maintain an image that wouldn't get him pounded into the pavement.
The first thing he did, was adapt to the nickname he had had since he was seven months old. Mac. Mackenzie, in his opinion, was 'far too lady like' for a city boy. Especially a city boy who had found a love for the city and the never ending vicinity of places to skate. Besides wrestling, Mac had a love for skateboarding, in which he was able to find the best skate parks and places that skateboarding wasn't banned, with his new friend, Jared Hall. It would come to pass, that Jared and Mac became inseparable, like brothers.
A typical day for turning sixteen year old Mac Diaz, included going to school, skateboarding between classes with his group of friends, then skipping out after class with Jared to hit the subway to Flushing to Shea Stadium during the spring and into the summer to catch Mets games. His friend Jared had a few loves, but the Mets, Wrestling, and Skateboarding were his obsessions. The boys had a playful rivalry during the baseball season, as Mac swung more toward the Yankees than the Mets, which would initiate a playful "Subway Series" of their own, a Yankees fan verses a Mets fan.
Wrestling was never overshadowed in Mac's eyes, though. By the baseball, or the skateboarding. When he turned seventeen, Mac found himself at an underground wrestling clinic called "Rocky's Nox" in the Bronx. It wasn't far from Yankee Stadium, which was convenient for Mac, as he spent many-a-day there during the spring, summer, and early fall while the baseball season was active. At Rocky's, Jared and Mac were both discovered for their wrestling talent by a scout from a wrestling organization called the Elite Wrestling Alliance, formerly the eXtreme Wrestling Federation, out of Toronto Canada. The man's name was Jay Lauderdale, the brother of fed owner Faith Lauderdale.
Mac's eighteenth birthday came before Jared's, but when Mac was phoned by Faith and said he wouldn't go without Jared, Faith made a minor exception, saying she needed talent like the boys exhumed. They both made the trip to Toronto, Ontario; where they met a lot of interesting people from different backgrounds. Mac still had his southern attitude, twanged slightly by city life, but never lost its luster. That was another quality Faith found exceptional about Mac. He was so young, so motivated, but more importantly, he had a personality that was nothing shy of star power.
While Mac was working with the EWA, he met a man who he still remains friends with. At the time, Adam Copeland was getting into the WWE but was a wrestler regardless. Him and Adam still kept in contract via telephone, long after "Edge" became a household name. He also met a girl named Callista Styles. She was the youngest person to hold an EWA contract, but because she wasn't wrestling and she looked older, she was fine. Fifteen years of age. She was playing the role of "trophy bride" to then, EWA Champion Adrian Cornell. Away from the ring, Callista was your typical 'girl-next-door', only this was the girl-next-door that would have even made your father go weak in the knees. She was a Southern Belle caught in a Seattle (Washington) girl's body. Long blonde hair, bright emerald eyes, and a flawless figure. Jared was 'turned off' by the fact she was a Mariners fan, but 'turned on' about her knowledge of the game.
It was for 'A-Rod', Alex Rodriguez, that Callista was so hot for with the Mariners. Not the team. Mac found the whole ordeal terribly funny.
He found other things about Callista attractive, that didn't revolve around sports. He found her attitude, her overall demeanor, and her natural finesse for life attractive. He especially found her mentality attractive, physical came long after. His father had driven into his head many times in his youth, to love for personality not physicality. Because while looks faded, you were stuck with who you were inside forever. He related to that, and had to get to know a person before his attraction was established. By that time, it wasn't able to be called a crush.
After wrestling with EWA for four years, Mac, now twenty, had made his move into 'the big time'. He became part of a promotion called Ring of Honor, which boosted him forward to "NWA:TNA". He wrestled under the alias, "The Real Deal, Mac Diaz", thinking entirely that his ring persona was like himself. Completely real. While he played your typical 'bad guy', cocky and arrogant, those who got to know the REAL deal behind "the real deal", knew Mac was thirsty for a shot at the professional wrestling spotlight. His only goal was to reach a pinnacle in the sports entertainment business.
Personally however, a year before he left the EWA, he started dating Callista Styles. They traveled together, and when he left the promotion to 'seek out other opportunity', Callista left the EWA not long after to be with her boyfriend in his moving on. He managed to get her a deal as a "TNA Knockout" diva, but the only difference between her and the likes of Traci Brooks, or Desire, what separated "Calli" from the rest, was she wasn't afraid to get dirty. She was your typical manager, with untypical spice and refinement. And for her age, just nineteen years of age during Mac's TNA extravaganza, there was no denying how special she was.
Mac's final call up, came. He had went through the motions, and while his best friend Jared left wrestling with a knee injury, was back to skateboarding; Mac took it. He was offered position after being nearly two years in TNA, to join the WWE's minor league of OVW under a developmental contract. At that time, Mac and Callista got married. Callista was nineteen, almost twenty, while Mac was twenty-four. Working in OVW was something Mac would have never thought of to happen, but as he did what he was told, everything was coming together.
While it was a lot of hard work and complications for Mac, and his time with his new bride Callista, he managed to pull off being married, and wrestling full time as his bride was on the road with him. She was used to the schedules a wrestler had to deal with, as she dealt with it five years running while she was an active competitor. OVW was a great experience for Mac, and he made his appearances on Smackdown! and RAW as asked by the company when a 'squash' match was required. But when Mac was called up, was to show that a new breed of superstar was forthcoming, and he always put up one hell of a fight. He was able to fight men like Kurt Angle, Dave Batista, John Cena (whom Mac became good friends with), and Ric Flair.
Fighting guys like Ric Flair was a dream of Mac's, and had already came true. And at this time, Mac was establishing his own fan base through Ohio Valley Wrestling like many before him. His fan base, was for the majority women, however. Mac wasn't a bad looking man, in any retrospect, with his bright azure eyes - platinum blonde hair - athletic build - fair facial features - a little on the pale side, though. That was before WWE officials caught ahold of "The real deal".
He wasn't changed much, except for the paleness of his skin. A little copper coloring from tanning made him look like a 'Greek god' according to many of his female fans. His wife Callista though, was displeased with all the attention he was receiving on a public bases by the women. There was no denying, she was the jealous type. Mac didn't think much of the photos and autographs he was asked for, he just gave them out without a second thought. He had a base of male fans that followed his career, and some that knew of what he did with the EWA and NWA:TNA. He felt a lot of pride when the fans that followed his entire career to date, and respected him for the competitor in the ring that he was.
And then, his opportunity came. He was called up to take part in a large storyline taking place on RAW. That was where he was going to be calling his home. Monday Nights was where Mac would get to play. His debut came in Trenton, New Jersey; weeks into the Trish Stratus verses Kane and Lita storyline. It was where Mac was going to get his start.
Mac spent the afternoon of his debut RAW surfing the message boards of "TheRealDealdotcom", his official website maintained and hosted by "Trick Matty", his little brother Mathew Diaz, who preferred to just be called 'Mat' from time to time. Trick Matty was his alias, as a play off 'Trick Daddy". That's just how the turning 18 year old college bound New York boy operated. Mac had his own blog called "The Mac Attack Commentary"; where he updated regularly to keep in touch with the fans. Which would also explain why Mac always had a laptop with him on the road.
The blog for his debut date went a little something like this:
Attention Real Deal'ers!
What's up, ya'll? It's Mac one more time for a little real time dealio with the peeps. Hope you're all doing as good as I am. Tune in tonight on WWE RAW (9/8 Central) on SPIKE TV. Your boy is going to be rocking out in Trenton, NJ! If you're in the Trenton area, stop on by and I'll holler atcha! Just say you found the 4-1-1 on TheRealDealdotcom and I'll rock with you before the show. Just to say thanks for sticking behind me up until now! I'll be getting to the center a couple hours early, so just stop on by, I swear security won't frisk you! LOL
In the personal spectra, everything's solid for me. As I've written before, my wife Callista is still taking care and reppin' with me. (And you know, putting up with all my bullshit? LOL) There's been talks of Callista eventually coming back into wrestling, for all of you who remember me from the days in EWA and TNA, know about Calli's wrestling skill. The girl may be a fox, but she's a hound in the ring, dawgs, let me tell you! (Why do you think I married her? She'd have kicked my ass from Baton Rouge to the gulf and back:-D)
SPEAKING of the Rouge, any of you out there going to be hitting the Mardi Gras fiascos taking place in Baton Rouge, Bayou Breaux, or New Orleans within the next couple of weeks? I swear, it's getting later and later every year! These people need to start getting with the program. I'll be heading back on home for the M.G parties and with any luck, rocking with people "Girls Gone Wild" style! Beads beads and more beads, ya'll! (You feel me? LOL)
I'll check you all on the flip side.
And blatantly stealing from my boy…
THE CHAMP IS HERE…
Or in this case, the Real Deal has finally made it to the big time. Hey Cena, I'm calling you out, champ! Too bad we ain't on the same show… we know I'd have had an easy calling to the top LOL Just playing, man! Don't seek out and destroy me yet.
I respect, and digress, and I gotta get out of here. See ya'll in Jersey!
One love;
The Mac Attack
That was how Mac was. He was once a fan, and he knew how the fans were when it came to their superstars. If it wasn't for them, he wouldn't even be here. He respected the fans, and knew that's where HE came from. He had to give his props when he got the opportunity. In the WWE, he'd have a better chance to reach out to the people, even as a heel.

A/N: This is my first story with a male lead. Wow. This is kinda strange. But hopefully the way it's playing out in my head will be the way it plays out in this story! -M.S
