Chapter 4
The amount of work that goes into a wedding still amazes me even as I'm here planning my third. The hall Madison wants is massive. "I can just see it Jake," She says smiling. She's made it clear she wants to wait until after the new baby is born and she can get back in shape but she wants to lock down all the details. I can see how much this is going to cost me. I gotta lock down some kind of job after I'm no longer a wrestler. "How many people are thinking we should invite?" I ask. "Well between our two families we should fill up a large part of this than we have Gail and Robert, AJ and Wendy, The Crists and Nevaeh. Lets not forget about a good chunk of the roster," Madison says a huge smile this is her big day and she wants to enjoy it. I need to stop worrying about money… I Know stupid thinking but I'm not going to fight her on this given how freaking worried she is about me still wrestling. "Queen Bee I've told you a thousand times your the one calling the shots on this what ever you want you got," I say. "I want to check out one more place that one over by Harris," Madison says.

"Damn Al you would think your important role would mean a decent sized office," I say taking a set. "Please tell me you didn't just want this meeting to make jokes about me I had enough of that when Foley worked here," Al says. "No I came to ask for a job," I say. "Please tell me you have some money saved. Don't be the latest guy to kill himself and have nothing to show for it… you had to buy a boat," Al says. "Al I haven't had a boat in years and I do have some savings. I also have a child that is only three and one on the way on top of planning a wedding well come on Al you know," I say. "Yeah that drains the old bank account. Well I do need a new agent and I need someone to work with the younger guys now that we are done with OVW," Al says. "Perfect," I say extending my hand he takes it and we shake. I get up to leave. "Hey Jake be careful out there," Al says. "Al I'm wrestling Bully Ray its kind of like pulling a tiger's tail no way to do it carefully," I say.

Dixie Carter was not in a good mode as the latest friends of AJ Styles had just played. "I am sick and tired of this. This is my company and I have no damn control anymore. I want these stopped and get me Jake Reed," Dixie yells. "Why do you want Jake Reed?" Spud stupidly asks. "Just get me Jake Reed," Dixie yells again. The little idiot finds me trying to stretch out and I report to the boss. "You wanted to see me?" I ask. "Jake who owns this company?" Dixie asks. "You do," I say. "So why is it you seem to be running the show," Dixie says. "Look Dixie I can't thank you enough for everything I've gotten from this company," I say. "Than tell me how much longer this thing is going to go," Dixie orders. "Well I tell you what we got a big card coming up how about than I wrap it up," I say. "So tonight and two more matches," Dixie says. "Yeah three more matches counting tonight," I say.
