Tonight's the Hall Of Fame, and tomorrow is Wrestlemania. As of now we're all getting ready for the Hall Of Fame. I come out of the bathroom after putting my shoes on in there, since it makes it easier to do so. I walk over to my bag and drop in it whatever I just used and don't need. Alex turns and spots me, his jaw dropping. Only because of the dress I was wearing and whatnot, which was a long red one. I look up from my bag, and see him staring with his jaw dropped.
"Flies Alex...flies." I laugh.
He opens and closes it a few times.
"You look absolutely amazing."
"You always say that, but thank you."
"You're more than welcome." He kisses my cheek.
"Is that a bowtie I see you wearing?"
"Maybe..."
"That's something new...you always wear regular ties."
"I figured something different since it's the Hall of Fame night."
"Well I think it's cute."
"...thanks..."
"But I do think you look way better than I do. I can't imagine what you'll look like in 2 months."
He adds.
"Aww. Well at least you only have 2 more months instead of a longer wait." I smile.
"The closer the day gets, the more excited I will be."
"Me too." I say, hugging him.
"But you know, you're gonna have to try and deal with not seeing me all day, on the day of the wedding." I add.
"It'll be hard but I think I can manage as long as I get to at least hear your voice."
"And you will, I'll make sure of it."
"Good." He smiles.
"Anyways, I'm ready to go...you?"
"Yeah." He nods.
We make our way out of the room, and down to the car to wait for Aly and Mike. She comes out of the bathroom, holding up the top part of her dress with one hand and holding the bottom with her other.
"Mike? I can't get this zipper up any farther."
He stops what he's doing, and walks over.
"I've got it." He smiles, zipping it up the rest of the way.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
She grabs her shoes and sits on the bed to put them on. After she finishes that, she stands back up. Mike turns around after fixing his suit and looks at her in awe. She giggles and does a little spin.
"You look amazing, as always." He smiles.
"Thank you."
"Of course we're gonna have to hang around backstage of the arena until we have to go out."
"Right."
"I'm just excited to see Shawn inducted tonight. Especially since Hunter inducting him." She adds.
"Of course."
"Which I probably won't be sitting with you for, because I'll most likely Dolce and I will be coming out with Hunter when he inducts him."
"I figured as much." Mike nods.
"Think you'll survive without me?" She teases.
"I think I'll be okay." He chuckles.
She laughs and steps closer, giving him a light, short kiss.
"Ready to go?" He asks, after she pulls away.
"Mmhmm."
She takes his arm, and they walk out the door heading down to the car where Alex and I are
waiting. They get in and we head off. When we get there we walk into the arena, being met with a sea of people.
"Wow, this is crazy."
"Definitely. I know this thing is huge, but the large amount of people it's crazy."
"Uh-huh..." Aly trails off, looking around.
"And I forgot to mention this...you're wearing a bowtie DC." She adds.
"Yeah...and?"
"It's funny." She giggles.
"Only you would think it's funny." I add.
"I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a compliment or an insult..."
After a while of standing around and talking while we wait, we see everyone start to move. We follow as we head out to where all the chairs are set up on the floor and go to our designated seats. We all sit down and both Aly and I are just looking around in awe. We wait a little while longer after that, and then the Hall Of Fame starts. It begins with Jerry standing on the stage at the podium, introducing Cody Rhodes' father to induct the Road Warriors. After that, Kane was introduced to induct Drew Carey. He does a short little speech, and mentions Mike. Mike stands up and claps, pointing at him then putting his hands in the air looking around him before he sits down. Aly just laughs. The other people were inducted, until it came time for Shawn to be. By this time Aly and I are backstage standing with Hunter waiting for him to be introduced to induct Shawn.
"This is going to be amazing."
"Definitely. Probably will get emotional out there."
"Yeah." Aly laughs a little.
After a while, Hunter is introduced, and we walk out with him standing in front of the podium on either side of him. We stand there as the clapping and cheering go on. When that ends a 'Triple H' chant breaks out.
"You know the only reason Shawn asked me to do this tonight...he wanted to force me to come out here and say something nice about him. And uh, you know really what do you say about Shawn Michaels? I mean do I come out here and do I talk about his overwhelming physical presence? I mean...6 ft 225. Haha yeah alright, he's like 5'10 buck 85 but still..."
We snicker.
"I mean he did pretty good with it right? I mean...yeah they had to close the garage door back there because it's windy out, and he might blow off the stage. But I mean..."
We laugh.
"...he did alright. Or do I talk about the giving performer, because that's what Shawn was..giving. And you know, he and I had this unbelievable chemistry together. Whether we were facing each other in the ring, or standing side by side in the ring. We just...we knew each other so well, we knew what we were gonna do before we did it. And uh...especially when it came to the comedy stuff, you know DX. Shawn, you know was a giving guy and you know I was giving too, and that's what it was based on..DX, especially the comedy stuff."
We both grin at the mention of DX.
"You know, like for example I gave Shawn the comedy gift of...my nose. Which he used numerous times over the course of the years. And it was great, but Shawn was the gift that just kept on giving. You know, it started with...ahem...assless chaps."
Aly and I make faces like 'Awwwwwkwarrrdddd...'.
"In more recent years Shawn's gift has been his refusal to acknowledge his place in the uh..Hulk Hogan hair club."
We start laughing again.
"I keep telling him save it when you shave the patches on the back, and just stick it on the top...and this will all just go away you know? He doesn't listen. I mean the truth is...ahem..."
He trails off, looking like he's going to cry as he looks down.
Aly and I put a hand on his arms, going 'Awww' in our heads.
"The truth is I can come out here and talk about all that. Or I could just tell you about my best friend. Or what I can do is come out here and just talk directly to Shawn, and say I love you man. You are The Showstopper, the Icon, the Main Event...Mr. Wrestlemania. But I got another nickname for you...and this one...fits better than anything, and is more deserving than any other one you have. And that is Mr. Hall Of Fame."
We smile and nod.
"Ladies and gentlemen...ahem...my best friend, the one and the only..Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels."
Everyone claps and cheers as Shawn's music plays and he walks out. We smile and clap as he walks up to the podium, smiling himself. He walks over and hugs Hunter first, before hugging each of us.
"Don't cry." He says to us quietly, chuckling.
"We'll try." We giggle before going to stand off to the side with Hunter.
He has a standing ovation, until his music fades. Then a 'Thank You Shawn' chant breaks out from the WWE Universe.
"Ah don't mention it. Well the uh...damndest thing happened on my way to the biggest night of my life, in the Hall Of Fame speech and a damn roast broke out thanks." Shawn jokes, pointing over to Hunter.
We all laugh.
"Sorry. Haha. I am very thankful...that I can stand here before you today...and say that I'm going into the Hall Of Fame with absolutely no regrets. And...one of the big reasons is obviously all mighty god, and these 3 people down here." Shawn says, pointing down to his wife and two kids.
"Awww." We both smile.
"I love you all so much...and I want to thank you all...for being so selfless, and letting daddy go out and finish what he started. There are countless...there are countless...WWE superstars that I've had the opportunity...to create with. And I appreciate you being a part of my life for so long. And lastly, there's all of you. For whatever reason for the last 26 years, whether you were connected to me or not, I have no idea. But was somehow connected to you. I have..." He trails off and everyone erupts into claps and cheers.
"I have never won most popular, I wasn't the prom king, I wasn't the homecoming king, so I guess in my adult life the most important thing to me was that you all believed in me and thought I was good. And on this night...and on this night the 2011 Hall Of Fame. I feel it, I thank you, I love my ring, and I love each and every one of you. Now I know this has been sappy, I know it's been emotional, I can't help it. And if you're not down with that, I got two words for ya'..."
We grin and join the rest in yelling 'SUCK IT'.
Then DX's music plays, and Shawn comes back over to hug Aly, me and Hunter again. The two of us smile at him, looking a little teary. After that, he and Hunter did this hand motion thing and pointed to the entrance where two more people walked out...Kevin Nash and X-Pac. They all have a moment, and that's when we decide to walk off the stage, and go back to Mike and Alex. We reach them and smile. Then Shawn's music plays, and he hops off the stage going over to his wife and kids. Hugging them all, and then kissing his wife.
"Aww."
After, he talks to her and then climbs back up onto the stage clapping and thanking everyone and waving to them. Then after that, he walks back to the entrance and disappears backstage.
"I didn't cry, woo." Aly laughs.
"But we could feel that we wanted to." I say, Alex and I walking up to her and Mike.
"I know."
We then all start making our way backstage, and then out of the arena and to the car. From there we head back to the hotel for the night.
~Next Morning~
Now's it's the morning of Wrestlemania and I roll over into Alex, not wanting to get up just yet even though I'm wide awake. Soon enough he stirs and slowly opens his eyes.
"Morning." He mumbles huskily.
"Morning." I repeat, smiling.
"You're up early."
"I think excitement is setting in a little bit early...maybe that's why."
"Ah, right."
"I do have a little surprise for tonight...something I think you'll like."
"Ooh?" Alex perks up.
"I'm not gonna tell you all the details..I'm just gonna say this...I'm debuting new ring gear. You have to wait till tonight to see, I'm going with Aly later to pick it up."
"Ohhh..."
"Well I got something new tonight too.." He adds.
"Oh really."
"Yes, but you're not gonna see it until tonight. Either I can come out with you tonight for your match and you'll see it, or you can wait till Mike's match to see it."
"Hm...tempting choice."
"It would be nice to have you ringside for my match considering it's for the title...which I know I'm gonna win...but it's so hard to choose." I add.
"It's totally up to you."
"Give me time to think about it...we have all day anyway."
"Right. It's going to be a long, busy day."
"Indeed it will be. Then tonight will just fly on by."
"Yeah." He nods.
"But you know, this is our first Wrestlemania. I'm competeing and you're being involved..."
"That's true."
"And Aly's competeing too. She told me the other day, her match is going to be a TLC match."
"Oh wow."
"Yeah, well it's nothing new to her because she deals with those types of matches."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that."
"But tonight is going to be amazing."
"Yes it will." He agrees, kissing my forehead.
"But I suppose we should get up now. Go get breakfast or something, before we go to the gym. Then after that Aly and I are picking up our new ring gear, then we're probably gonna end up going to the Georgia Dome for the rest of the day for the show."
"Yeah."
"Even though...I don't want to move right now."
"Me neither." He chuckles, squeezing me gently.
But then my phone starts ringing the ringtone I set for Aly, and I reach over and pick it up and answer it.
"Hello?"
"You up yet?"
"Awake yes, but not out of bed."
"Well get out of bed, we have a long day ahead of us. Mike and I are already at breakfast,
we're waiting for you two."
"Alright alright. We're coming."
"See you in a few." She says, and we both hang up.
"Looks like we have to move." I laugh.
"Aww."
I break from his grip, and slide off the bed. I go over to pick out clothes to change into and he does the same while I'm in the bathroom. After I come out, we grab what we need before heading out to join Aly and Mike at breakfast. Since the place was only down the street, we walked. Once we got there, we walked in and found them, and sat down.
"Morning."
"Morning." I repeat.
"Excited?"
"Oh I am, woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep."
"Me too."
"It's amazing that we actually get to be wrestling at Wrestlemania. Let alone me having another title shot on the biggest night of our careers."
"I know, it's crazy."
"Definitely going to be a night to remember."
"For sure."
"Especially since I will retain the title, and prove everyone wrong..again." Mike comments
proudly.
"Of course."
After breakfast, we head back to the hotel to get ready to go to the gym. Once all ready, we head out and get into the car. When we're there, you and I do our own thing while the guys do theirs. Both of us are off in our own worlds, not paying much attention to our surroundings.
"I can't wait to see the guys' reactions to our new ring gear tonight." I comment.
"Oh I know." She laughs.
"Alex said he has something new for tonight too. I'm debating on waiting to see it when he goes out for Mike's match or have him come out with me for mine."
"I think you should wait personally, you don't want to be totally distracted when you go out for your match."
"True...because knowing him it'll be something amazingly distracting."
"Probably."
"When I win the match, he'll just have to be waiting close to the entrance...I'm gonna like wanna jump on him in pure joy."
She laughs.
"You're gonna jump on who in pure joy?" We hear Alex's voice from behind us.
"You, when I win." I reply, tilting my head back to look at him as he stands right behind me.
"I've decided that it's in my best interest to wait till Mike's match to see whatever new thing you're coming out with tonight. I don't want to be distracted from my match..." I add.
"Alright." He chuckles.
"Because knowing you, whatever it is will be amazing distracting. You're good for doing that."
He smirks triumphantly, while Mike and Aly laugh.
"So what're you doing over here? You two done?"
"Yeah." They say.
"Alright, well we got one more stop before we go to the arena. Aly and I have to pick up our new ring gear for tonight."
"And no, you two aren't getting sneak peeks." She adds.
"That's right, you're gonna have to wait."
"Awww." They pout.
"You'll live...trust us."
"Darn."
"The wait will be woth it." Aly says amusedly.
"You don't have to wait that long, because from what I was told...my match is the 2nd match
of the night. After Del Rio vs Edge." I say to Alex.
"Ah." He replies.
"But anyways...we should get going."
Everyone gets their stuff and we head out. We pull up to the place and then you and I get out, walking inside. We walk up to the desk and tell the person our names. They go into the back and bring out our ring gear. We have the person put them in bags to conceal them from the guys. Then we walk out and get back into the car, making sure to keep the bags closed. Then it's off to the Georgia Dome. We get there and step out of the car. Aly and I both stop and look.
"This is it." She says to me quietly.
"Yep, just hours from now and the biggest night ever begins."
"Uh-huh."
"First thing we have to check out when we get in there is the stage..."
"Oh yeah."
Once we have all our things, we head inside. The first place she and I go is the locker room to drop our things off including the ring gear...so it's safe from the guys. Then we go out to get a look at the stage.
"Oh...my...god." She says in awe as we step out there.
"Definitely going to feel a rush once everyone's filled up those seats, and when we're walking down that long ass ramp."
"For sure."
"I like how they set it up this year too. Walking up a small ramp in the middle to get to the stage itself before walking down the ramp to the ring."
"Yeah, that's cool."
"Race you down the ramp?"
"1...2...3!"
We take off running down the long ramp leading to the ring. As we run down, the guys walk up onto the stage and watch clearly amused. We're laughing and pushing each other playfully. In the end, we both made it to the end and tied with each other.
"Haha nice." She laughs as we rest against the ring.
"Oh that ramp is going to be killer walking back up."
"Well it gets good practice in for when we really have to walk down and up it." You add.
"True." I say.
"Especially after our matches. I can't say I'm looking forward to going down this after mine."
"I've always wondered why they make the ramp so long."
"Me too."
"Well we better start making our way up, or we'll never get back up there."
"Race you again."
"Sure, why not."
We take off again, but in the end she ended up beating me to the top.
"Haha I win." She does a little dance.
"That's...a...long...run up." I say, inbetween my breathing.
Mike and Alex laugh, and Aly turns to look back out over the ring, falling quiet.
"You okay?" Mike asks.
"I'm not dreaming right?"
"No, you're very much awake."
"I feel like I'm dreaming."
"I think everyone feels like that when it's their first Wrestlemania."
"Its just a little overwhelming. I mean 6 and a half months ago if you would have told me I
would be standing here right now with the life I have, I would have asked what drugs you were on."
He walks up behind her since she's looking over at the ring, and wraps his arms around her resting his head on her shoulder. She leans her head against his.
"The best part is you." She says to him quietly, kissing his cheek.
"Love you." He smiles.
"Love you too."
After standing there for a while longer, we head back down and backstage to hang out until the show starts. Before we know it, it's time for the show to start. As we're sitting and watching the tv screen we see the whole arena packed with fans. The show opens with Keri Hilson singing 'America The Beautiful'. From there we go to a video package which opens the show. After that, the Rock's music hits and he comes out.
"Oh boy..."
He comes out and takes his time getting to the ring. Once in the ring, and after his entranceh e grabs a mic to start talking.
"Finally, The Rock has come back to Atlanta and Wrestlemania."
He says he has goosebumps. The Rock has the crowd say "Mania" after he says Wrestle. He takes his first shot at John Cena, saying he's backstage picking out which rainbow colored fruity pebbles t-shirt to wear tonight. That causes the crowd to break out in a Fruity Pebbles chant.
We all crack up.
Rock smiles at that and has the crowd say 'Dabba' after he says 'Yabba'. He does the usual catchphrases and he does some custom Atlanta references to the crowd's delight. Then a Rocky chant breaks out as he finishes up.
"If ya' sm..." He cuts himself off.
"Oh, no no no. No!"
He says that it's the most electrifying catchphrase and it doesn't belong to him, it belongs to the people. He says they're going to do something special and for them to stand up.
"Oh god."
He has them take his position leaning back with the mic. They all say 'If ya' smell what the Rock is cooking'. Rock's music hits again and he leaves the ring heading back up the ramp. Then once he's gone, another Wrestlemania video package is played. After getting introduced to Wrestlemania again, the fireworks go off in the arena leading to Michael Cole introducing now.
"Ugh, I hope Cole loses."
"Well with Stone Cold, he might just lose. He don't like Cole."
"Not many do."
The first match of the night was Del Rio vs Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship. Del Rio comes out first with one of his fancy cars of course. Once he's in the ring, Christian's music hits and he walks out. After Christian it was Edge's music and he comes out. Christian stays ringside to support Edge in the match.
"I think something's going to happen to the pretty car."
"With Edge and Christian who knows."
"They both eyed it, I think they'll be doing something."
Halfway through the match, there was a knock on the door and I was told to go get ready for my match which would be coming up soon. I take a deep breath and get up, Aly gets up too.
"Coming with me?" I ask, noticing her get up too.
She nods.
"Alright."
"I figured it'd be easier since I'm going out there with you."
"Ah true..."
She turns and kisses Mike gently.
"I'm sure we'll see you two waiting for us by the ramp."
"Of course."
I look at Alex, who also stood up. He wraps me in a hug.
"We'll be cheering you on from here. You'll be amazing, I know it. I love you." He says, resting
his forehead against mine.
"I love you too." I smile, before kissing him.
I pull back and Alex lets me go.
"Good luck, kick ass, and have fun." Mike says, getting up to hug me.
"Thanks, and you know I will." I laugh, hugging back.
He laughs too and releases me. We then leave to go to the locker room.
"So are you going out in your new ring gear or what you're wearing now?" I ask.
"What I'm wearing. I'm not letting him see it until my match." She laughs.
"Ah right..." I say, as we reach the locker room.
We go in and I get changed.
"Too bad we won't be able to see Alex's reaction." She comments.
"Probably will after the match though." I laugh.
"True." She snickers.
After putting everything else on, I finish with the fishnet sleeve and then the glove on my right hand.
"Ready for this?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
We go out of the room and walk to the ramp. As we wait, we can hear Eve's music playing. I start pacing back and forth to try and at least relax a little bit.
"You'll be fine. Just use your anger to put more into your blows." Aly says.
"Right." I say, as we hear Eve's music fade.
We get into position and wait for them to play my music. My music hits and we go out. We walk up the ramp leading up onto the stage and walk to the top of the ramp leading down to the ring. That's when the pyros go off around us, and then we make our way down the long ramp. We're both slapping hands with the fans, occasionally looking up to glare at Eve. Aly stays ringside as I get in and doing poses on the turnbuckles, hyping up the fans even more. Aly grins and waves mockingly at Eve.
I jump down and stand across from Eve as my music fades. The ref holds up the title and then after he gives it to an attendant ringisde, signals to ring the bell and it rings. Eve and I step up to each other and we start getting into a verbal argument. That's when she suddenly shoves me. She turns around to get the crowd hyped up. That's when I storm right up to her and grab her by the hair and slam her back on the mat. I start getting the crowd hyped up now, while Even rolls around on the mat. I pick her up and give her an Irish Whip into the ropes. But she held onto the ropes, and I went running at her. That's when she lifted me up and sent me falling to the floor outside the ring. I lay there composing myself as she stands in the ring taunting me. I manage to get up when she's turned around and grab her by her feet and trip her, making her hit the mat face first. I slide back into the ring and pick her up once again, leaning hear against the ropes and giving her another Irish Whip to the opposite side of ropes. I lean over to lift her up and behind me as she comes back but she stops and kicks me in the shoulder, making me stumble away holding it.
Then she starts clotheslining me like no tomorrow. When I decide to just lay there after trying to regain my stamina, she stands next to me with her back facing me. She puts her hand in the air, before flipping backwards and landing on me. From there she goes for the pin, but I kick out. Eve and I slowly get to our feet, and when she goes to go after me I kick her in the gut sending her to her knees. I then take her face and slam it into the mat a few times, before getting her in a submission move. But she quickly get out of it, which makes me let go. I stand over her as she slowly starts to get to her feet, but I just kick her down repeatedly. I pick her up and lean her in the corner. I keep her there as I back up and then move forward with some front flips and finally bumping her into the corner even more. She stumbles forward and I take the chance to climb to the top rope and wait as she gets up. Once she turns around I jump and land on her with a cross-body. From there I go for the pin, but she kicks out too. But after that I had control over the whole match, until she did her flip move on me again and climbed to the top rope herself for her finisher Moonsault. I lay there, trying to gain more stamina, or so it looked. As soon as she flipped off the top rope, I moved out of the way making her hit her stomach on the mat.
This is where I took advantage of the match, and picked her up for about the millionth time already. I got her on my shoulders and she was barely struggling because of how badly I had beaten her up. I looked at the crowd with an evil smirk on my face, and also at the same time I looked into the camera knowing that Alex was watching and cheering me on. That's when I executed his finisher and went for the pin. 1...2...3. I had won! My music hit and Justin announced me as the new Diva's Champion.
"Here is your winner, and the new WWE Diva's Champion...Carly!"
The ref grabbed the title from the attendant ringside and handed it to me, before raising my hand in victory. Aly slides into the ring.
"You did it!" She beans, hugging me.
"I knew you would!"
"You all knew I would." I smile.
"Yes we did." She laughs and raises up my hand.
After she lets go, I go stand on the turnbuckles a few times before jumping down. We get out of the ring, and make the long walk up the ramp. I decide to stop at the top of the ramp on the stage before we head backstage to raise up the title once more and everyone cheers. I drop my arm once more, before she and I disappear down the ramp leading backstage through the stage. Alex and Mike are waiting for us when we get there as we expected. Alex sweeps me into his arms and kisses me hard.
"Told you that you could do it." He says, after he had pulled away.
"I know." I smile.
"You all believed in me." I add.
"Of course we did." Mike says.
"Ring gear is awesome by the way." He adds.
"Thank you." I laugh.
"Now, I know you have some comments about it, since you wanted to see it before we even got here today." I laugh, turning to look back at Alex.
"It's hot."
"His eyes almost popped out." Mike snickers.
"Aww man and I missed it." Aly laughs.
"Haha very funny." Alex says dryly.
"Love you too DC."
"Let's go back to the room and chill for a bit." She adds.
"Right, just until your match anyway."
She nods. We head back to the room and sit back down as we watch the next match. The promo was what's been happening between Cody and Rey over the past weeks, obviously their match was coming up next.
"Oh god." I roll my eyes.
After the promo Cody comes out first with a hood over his head, and still wearing that clear mask. Rey comes out next in a Captain America looking costume. After Rey gets down to the ring, he attacks Cody pretty early, not letting him take off the jacket with the hood covering his face. Cody slows Rey down a little, allowing him to rop the knee brace off of Rey. Eventually a 'Cody' chant broke out while he kept control of the match. Towards the end of the match, Rey had ripped Cody's mask off and hits him with a 619 to his exposed face.
"Ohhh...nice." I snicker.
Rey goes for a dive onto Cody who was on the floor, but he catched him coming through the ropes with the knee brace to the face. He gets back into the ring and hits his finisher 'Cross Rhodes' for the pinfall and Cody wins.
"Booooooo."
"Cheater."
After Cody disappears back up the ramp and backstage, the camera switch to the
backstage area with Teddy and Snoop Dog. Snoop asks Teddy for help, and Teddy says he has some WWE stars to audition for him, then they sit at the table. First William Regal comes up and sings something or whatever, and Snoop passes. Next was Khali and Beth singing songs from Grease, Snoop passes. Zack Ryder comes out next and starts singing that pop song 'Friday'.
"Oh jeez."
"Oh ShortBus...you never change."
But then Roddy Piper shows up behind him and knocks him out with a coconut to the head.
"Poor Shortbus."
Snoop gives Piper props, and Piper walks off. Chris Masters and Yoshi walk up next, and Christ moves his pecs to the sound of 'We will rock you', while Yoshi sings it. Snoop passes again. Then Hornswoggle comes out dressed as Ice Cube, and Snoop says he wants Hornswoggle but Teddy says he can't talk. After they get up and leave, Hornswoggle starts rapping in normal english while the Bella Twins dance alongside him.
"Wow...just...wow..."
"Took the words right out of my mouth..."
"Awkward much?"
The next match was the Eight-Man Tag Team match, minus Kozlov since he was injured and was replaced by Kofi. First Corre comes out, then Big Show and Kane come out together. After them was Santino and he like strutted down that ramp in the funniest way possible.
"Ugh." We both roll our eyes at seeing Corre.
Aly decides to hide her face in Mike's neck. After him it was Kofi and the match didn't last very long. Santino, Kofi, Big Show and Kane beat up Corre. Big Show lands the knockout punch which ended the match real fast.
"Haha." I laugh.
Once that was done, the cameras go backstage to see Eve talking to the Rock...still looking beat up from my match with her earlier. He did congratulate her on how hard she worked in the match and whatnot. He tells her that whoever comes around the corner next, he's going to create a moment with. He turns and sees that it's Mae Young and he hugs her. She and Rock make jokes and he asks Eve to escort her to her seat. As she walks off, she grabs Rock's butt and he jokes that it couldn't of been anyone else that came around the corner. When he turns around, there stands Stone Cold.
"Niiiice."
Rock says that it's good to see him and asks if he's ready to kick some ass tonight. They talk friendly but stare at each other hardcore. Then they say 'good seeing' you to each other and walk off.
"Well that makes sense, they're like buddies."
"Yeah."
The next match of the night was Randy vs CM Punk. Once both of them make their entrance, things get started right off the bat. The control in the match was even, until the tables were turned when Punk went to jump off the top rope and got RKO'd in mid-air. Randy got the pin for the win.
"Now that was cool."
"Yeah it was."
During the celebration for Randy beating Punk, the same stagehand knocked on the door, and told you that Aly's match was coming up next and that she had to get ready for it. Like I did, she takes a deep breath before standing up.
"I'll come with you." I say, standing up as well.
"Okay."
"We'll be watching from here, and meet you by the ramp entrance after the match is over." Mike adds.
She nods, not too surprised that Mike changed his mind over going out there with her. He
and Alex get up as well.
"You'll do great out there, sorry about changing my mind about going out there with you." He says, wrapping his arms around her.
"It's okay, I understand. It's a brutal match and you don't want to see me hurt."
"Right, it'll still be hard to watch from back here and I'll still worry, but I get what you're saying."
"I love you." She squeezes him tightly.
"I love you too, remember I'll be right there for you after the match."
She nods and smiles up at him. He smiles back, and leans down to kiss her. They kiss for a minute and then she draws back from him.
"I better go."
"Right, can't be late for your own match."
"Especially Wrestlemania." She says, slipping from his arms and turning to Alex next.
"Go do what you do best, and kick some ass out there." He chuckles, hugging her.
"I will." She laughs, hugging back.
She pulls away from him and the two of us head out.
"If only we could be around to see Mike's face to your ring gear when we go out." I laugh.
"I know. I wish we could." She giggles.
"But we'll see his reaction for sure after the match."
"Yeah." She laughs.
Then we reach the locker room, and walk in where she changes into her new ring gear. She adjusts the little straps and then her pads before looking up and nodding.
"Let's do this."
"You're gonna have so much fun with this." I say, as we leave the locker room and head towards the entrance to the stage.
We get there as Gail is going out and Aly stands off to the side. She drops her head down and sways from side to side with her hands on her hips, taking in deep breaths.
"Just like you told me, you'll be fine. You got this, these kinds of matches are your specialty."
"I know. Never stop being a little nervous about these though."
"I don't think anyone ever stops being a little nervous, especially when it's Wrestlemania."
"True." She laughs a little.
Then we hear Gail's music fade, and we stand at the bottom of the ramp leading up to the stage. Once her music hits, we walk up and onto the stage to all the fans in the arena. She can't help but grin and she sings along with the song as we start our way down the walkway. She blows a kiss at the camera at the appropriate part of the song and then laugh. She gets into the ring, as I walk over to sit by commentary so that I'm somewhat safe from the tables, ladders and chairs around the ring. I'm not too pleased of having to be by Cole, so I sit far from him.
The ref signals for the bell to ring, and it does. They lock up, and Aly twists Gail's arm, and Gail counters it and twists her arm as well. Aly gets out of it and flips Gail over, and then Gail does the same thing to her. Gail hits her twice, before trying to send her into the corner which Aly counters and throws her into the corner instead. Aly goes to run at her, but she quickly slides out of the ropes and counters yet another move of Aly's. She slides under the bottom rope and rolls her up, going for the pin, but Aly quickly gets out of it. After a bit, they both go for a clothesline and knock each other down in the middle of the ring. They both slowly get to their feet, and punches are thrown by each of them. Aly goes to hit her again, but she ducks and goes against the ropes, landing a cross body and going for the pin again. Aly kicks out before the ref could even count to 1. They both get to their feet and Gail tries to go after her, but she kicks her in the gut which makes her stumble away. She leans into the corner while she regains some stamina, and Aly takes the chance to back up into the opposite corner and then run at her. She successfully does Mike's corner clotheline move and Gail drops forward onto the mat.
As Gail is rolling over onto her back, Aly takes the chance to climb to the top rope. She sees the perfect moment and jumps off, landing the Swanton like Jeff does. From there she slides out of the ring and grabs a table, after taking it down she slides it into the ring. Once she's back in the ring, she sets up the table. She walks over to Gail and picks her up, then slams her head onto the table before putting her on top of it. She then goes over to the turnbuckle and starts to climb to the top. But before she could get ready to land on Gail, she rolls off. Aly jumps off the top rope and goes right after her. When she gets the chance, she gets out of the ring again and grabs a steel chair this time and gets back into the ring. When Gail's back is turned she hits her across it with the chair which makes her fall to the mat. She throws the chair aside and gets Gail in one of her submission moves, but Gail manages to crawl to the ropes. Aly lets go as Gail leans against the ropes for support, then she goes over and puts her leg into Gail's neck which is putting pressure on her neck from the front on the rope.
The ref starts counting and she lets go before she gets DQ'd. Gail's still leaning on the rope, and Aly seeks the chance and backs up then runs and jumps over the ropes, pulling Gail's head down as she lands outside the ring...another old school move of Mike's that she's learned. Aly then sets up a ladder outside the ring, she's going to attempt something extremely daring. She makes sure that Gail isn't moving as she climbs up the ladder which towers over the ring. She then carefully stands on the top, before attempting the Swanton again. I watch in awe at how high she is above the ring and I know that this is probably going to hurt no matter what happens. That's when she jumps and flips, landing right on Gail with such power. Aly lays there for a while to regain strength after that major jump, Gail doesn't look like she's moving at all, so Aly covers her and the ref counts to 3...and Justin names her the winner. After the ref raises her hand in victory, I slide into the ring and hug her, but carefully since she's probably a bit sore from the match. She hugs me back, wincing a little.
"You gonna be okay? That was a really daring jump."
"Yeah, I'll be alright. Just really sore."
"Mike's gonna call you crazy for doing that." I laugh.
"I know." She laughs a little as we do some posing before getting out of the ring and walking
back to the ramp.
We make our way up to the stage, and then down heading backstage being met by Mike and Alex of course. Instantly she feels Mike's arms around her and she lets out a sigh of mixed pain and content.
"You're crazy you know that?" He somments.
"Uh-huh...but you love me."
"I do." He says, kissing her cheek.
"Can we go relax now? I hurt."
"Yeah, oh course." He says, carefully putting an arm around her as we all start walking back to the room.
"By the way, I absolutely love the ring gear." He whispers in her ear.
"I knew you would." She giggles.
Once we get back to the room, we all sit back down on the couches...she carefully sits down to her being sore. The next match we see is the Cole vs Jerry match. Booker T and JR come out for commentary. After that Cole comes out in old school wrestling gear that say Team Cole on it.
"Oh my god..."
Aly's leaning against Mike with her eyes closed but she opens one and then snickers.
"He looks ridiculous." She snorts, closing her eye again.
After Cole, came out Lispy. His entrance was interrupted by Stone Cold coming out on his four-wheeler. After his entrance, Lawler came out and eventually the match started. The match wasn't much because we knew what was gonna happen, what with Lispy getting involved and whatnot. In the end Jerry had won, but the GM dinged in and said that Stone Cold disregarded the rules of being a ref and changed his decision.
"That's bull!"
"That's so BS."
The next match which we knew that was going to be the longest was Hunter's against the Undertaker. The match was brutal, considering the fact that Hunter gave Taker 3 pedigrees and a tombstone. Taker used one last move as a last resort and it was his submission match which makes his opponents bleed. Hunter was fading and goes limp. He then gets some fight back in him and he grabs the sledgehammer again that he had brought into the ring. He holds it in the air while still locked in the hold, but it just falls out of his hand and he goes limp again. After a few more seconds Hunter slowly taps out, giving Taker the win and keeping his now 19-0 streak intact.
"Wow."
"Well I think it was a given that Undertaker was gonna win. You can't mess with that Wrestlemania streak."
"Somebody's going to at some point though, unless he decides to retire before next
Wrestlemania."
"True."
Hunter gets out of the ring after a while, and a trainer and the ref tend to Taker, trying to get him to stay down as he tries to get up. That's when he rolls out of the ring and tries to stand but he collapses, and the trainer calls for a stretcher to be brought out. It takes a while, but one of the medical vehicles come out and they carefully put Taker on it and drive away up the ramp and backstage.
"Crazy."
After another promo, it's time for the match with Snooki in it. They all come out and after the bell rings Snooki slaps Dolph to start things off. Then it starts off as Trish and Michelle in the ring. Michelle has the control over the match, until Trish gets the upperhand. After duking it out in the ring, they crash to the floor...and hard. After they get back in the ring, Dolph breaks up a nearfall attempt by Trish. This gets Morrison involved and he knocks Dolph to the floor, and then he hits the Starship Pain to Dolph on the floor. Trish tags Snooki in now and she hits a cartwheel and two back flips into an elbow in the corner to Michelle. She then does a flip move into a splash for the victory.
"Nice." Aly snickers.
There was a break for a bit of time, and the stagehand knocks on the door for Mike and Alex to get ready for Mike's match. We all get up since Aly and I decide to just wait outside the locker room for them as they change.
"You know, I'm getting that feeling again. I think the Rock is definitely going to get involved in the match tonight."
She nods.
"I know. I'm feeling it too. Dolce I don't really have a very good feeling...something is going to go wrong..." She says quietly as we wait for the guys.
"I hope our feelings are wrong..."
"Me too." She sighs.
After waiting for a while, the door to the locker room opens and the guys walk out. She can't stop the small smile that creeps up as she sees Mike in his pay per view jacket. My eyes are on Alex, admiring the new vest he's wearing.
"New vest huh?"
"Yeah." He replies.
"There's no 'R' on that one..."
He shakes his head.
"But it's all sparkly!" Aly interjects and all three of us laugh.
"Whaaat...you know I'm easily distracted by sparkly objects..."
"Well, we should get going...get the match over with. Despite our uh...bad vibes about this." I add.
"Bad vibes?" Mike and Alex looks at us.
"We have this vibe that something's gonna go wrong."
They both frown.
"We just hope we're wrong..."
"Hopefully." Mike says as we start to walk.
We get to the bottom of the ramp entrance to the stage. We wait as Justin announces the match. Then we look at one of the tv screens as a video packages plays of Mike. It shows him watching footage of Hulk Hogan and everything, ending with watching himself as 'Hate Me Now' plays for the music as the footage plays on.
"Nice."
After the video package stops, the cameras fade to the stage. We hear Mike's music play as we see the word 'Awesome' on the stage. After a few seconds we walk up the ramp with the guys, and when we appear on the stage, Mike pushes the word apart and we emerge on the stage, standing at the top of the ramp leading down to the ring. We stand there for a minute before walking down. After we get into the ring with the guys, we wait for John to come out. There's a chorus on the stage and John's entrance is one of the longest ever...it was too drawn out. After he comes out, like every Wrestlemania he runs down the long ramp and slides into the ring. Neither one of us are looking at him.
We get out of the ring as his music fades, and after Mike hands the title to the ref he takes off his jacket and hands it to you before the match starts. John gest control early on, and then hits a leg-drop off of the top rop onto Mike. After another move of John's is attempted, Mike avoids it and gets in control of the match now. He baseball-slide style dropkicks John in the ribs, which knocks him to the floor After getting John back up onto the apron, he runs and knees him in the head and rolls him back into the ring, where he gets a nearfall. After a while he does his facebuster/neckbreaker combo move for another nearfall. Mike gets up and starts to take the padding off the turnbuckle, but is met by a roll-up for a nearfall and the ref is still distracted by the turnbuckle situation.
The three of us ringside are watching nervously.
When they're both back on their feet, they slug it out near the exposed turnbuckle. Out of nowhere John gets Mike in the STF, and Mike is struggling to get to the ropes to break the hold. He finally does and thanks to Alex, John is blasted into the exposed turnbuckle bolt. Mike follows up with a Skull Crushing Finale to a nearfall, where John kicks out at two. That's when a small 'Yabba Dabba' chant breaks out. Mike goes for a 2nd Skull Crushing Finale a few moments later and that's when the ref is bumped. John reverses the SCF for an Attitude Adjustment on Mike, and then goes for the pin but the ref is still down.
"Oh jeez." Aly bites her lip.
While the ref is still down, Alex gets into the ring and hits John in the face with the metal breifcase, immediately getting out of the ring, before the ref comes to and sees. Mike instantly covers John as the ref is revived for the count, but John still kicks out at two. Alex gets back up on the apron distracting the ref, and Mike as the metal briefcase again, going to hit John with it as the ref is distracted. As Mike heads for him, John ducks and nails Alex with it, sending him off the apron with the breifcase.
We both go to check on Alex while still keeping an eye on the match.
John immediately after that hits Mike with another Attitude Adjustment for a pinfall attempt, where Mike kicks out at two. Mike rolls out onto the floor to recover, but John follows him out and hits a running clothesline on Mike which knocked him over the barricade and into the crowd. The ref started counting, and the match ended in a double count out. Good thing about that was Mike retaining the title. Aly covers her mouth with both hands, looking extremely worried as she watches for any sign of Mike getting up.
"He's not really moving...and that's solid concrete out there..." I say in worry.
"I know." She says behind her hands.
That's when out of nowhere the Rock comes out, grabbing a mic as soon as he gets into the ring. He says that there's no way that Wrestlemania ends like that. He demands that the match be restarted, making it a no count out, no time limit, no DQ, and adds no doubt about it and no crying to your mama. He does a few more catchphrases and the match resumes. Mike has gotten up now, and John had rolled him into the ring. After a few seconds out of nowhere, Rock hits Rock Bottom on John, walks off, and Mike covers John for the win. Mike retains again...thanks to the Rock.
Mike starts to celebrate but Aly glances at the Rock and bites her lip.
"I want to go in there but he's not done...he won't leave it just like that..."
"No...he won't."
The Rock stays outside the ring a few steps up the ramp, and starts staring down Mike. Mike finally stops and sees him and his music stops. Rock runs back into the ring and proceeds to beat up Mike, ending it with a People's Elbow before his music hits and he poses on the turnbuckles and then exits the ring. Immediately Aly goes in and kneels beside Mike.
"...babe?"
"...my head...I think I need to see the trainer." He answers.
"Okay..." She bites her lip and carefully helps him out of the ring.
She walks ahead with Mike, while Alex and I follow shortly after. He's grabbed the briefcase and I have the title.
"I hope he's okay." I say quietly.
"I hope so too, that didn't look good." Alex replies.
We all get backstage, and we join Aly as she's waiting outside the trainer's pacing back and forth with concern. She stops and leans against the wall, covering her face. I frown, and walk over to her.
"Need a hug?" I ask, and she nods.
She steps away from the wall enough, for me to hug her. We pull away and there's tears sliding down her cheeks.
"I'm already pretty positive what it is."
"What is it?"
"Concussion, probably a grade 2."
"...damn it John..." I say under my breath, anger beginning to boil and Alex grabs me.
"They need us right now, don't go running off please." He says softly.
"...I'm not gonna run off, but I do feel like punching a wall right now...he's gotten completely
out of damn control."
"I know, I know."
After a few more seconds, the door opens and Mike walks out. She opens her eyes again and sees him. She bolts straight to him, tears still going.
"I'll be fine...just suffered a concussion...they said it was a grade 2. I can't do anything for a week. Explains why I couldn't remember what happened before I landed on the floor."
I frown, growling a little. Alex sighs and Aly's clinging to Mike tightly while trying to stop crying. Anger starts taking over me, and I start shaking...and it's visible. I start breathing heavier and before I know it, my fist comes in contact with the nearest wall...and I feel nothing...at the time.
"Carebear!" Alex exclaims and then sighs, picking up my hand to inspect the damage.
"...I'm fine..."
Alex drops my hand and goes into the trainer to get some ice. Aly just watches silently, still with tears rolling.
"I better not see him...or I swear to god..." I say through clenched teeth.
"I want first dibs." Aly speaks up.
"Oh for sure, you get first dibs...that I don't mind."
She nods and buries her face in Mike's chest. Alex comes out with a small bag of ice, and hands it to me, then I hold it there on my hand.
"Can you please try not to punch anything else?" He asks me.
"I'll try my best...just at that time the anger overcame me." I say, a bit calmer than before.
"We noticed." He comments.
"Remind me to take him off the wedding guest list...unless he changes his act."
Alex nods.
"Do you think we can go now? If I see him at all right now, I'll snap."
"Yeah. Let's get out of here." Alex nods, looking at Mike.
Mike nods, and he hugs you to his side as we all walk off. We stop by the locker room for them to get changed, then we stop by our locker room to change ourselves. We go back to the room to grab whatever things we had left, then went out to the car and headed back to the hotel.
