Danny hung up the phone and hurried over to where Cameron Hickenbottom and Athena Hart were standing. They wrestled as Cameron Michaels and Sierra respectfully.
They had been in WCW for over a year and Cam was the current United States champion. Athena at the moment was feuding with Simone Johnson who wrestled as Pebbles though according to Athena she didn't seem very dedicated to the sport. For those two it was as if they were continuing their in the ring and out of the ring feud when they were in Kentucky.
They stood and listened to Dustin announce some last minute changes to the car, that didn't really have anything to do with him. He was finished for the night. All he would do now is sit in the back and watch the matches.
He thought back to the match he had against Fire and Ice. There had been a big reaction when he had come through the curtains. He knew that was because of who he was. He had been all over the news and websites during the trial. Athena was able to downplay it a little because of her dyed hair but most fans knew who she was from the Internet. Internet kept nothing secret. There was news on wrestlescoop that he had been signed by the WWF before they had even made the offer.
He still couldn't believe he was officially a pro wrestler. His training had probably gone longer then it normally would of but a few things kept coming up. First the trial and then Jason's father died a year ago. He had taken off a few weeks to be with his family. Even though Jason was his stepfather, he always called Mark George, grandpa and that was at the insistence of the older man. Then right when he was trying to make his decision on which company to go to, Eddy and Chavo had to leave because someone in their family had died in a car accident. He had been asked to remain to help D-Lo Brown with the training. Now here he was the night of his official debut and he still had butterflies in his stomach.
He remembered how Justin Westman laughed at him and told him to relax. He and Glen Silverman had a little too much fun with him in that match but it did help.
He wasn't quite certain why he was so nervous. It was probably because of the large crowd.
He walked into the dressing room to take a shower and change. He had almost hit someone with the door as he was entering.
"Hey watch it!" They mumbled. He heard them say, "dumb rookie."
He supposed there would be a Chad anywhere.
Eddy contemplated the paperwork on his desk before looking at the computer clock. Where had the time gone? He wondered. He should have gone home about an hour ago, but he was busy contemplating two new applicants that he had been sent. He was very proud that the school was a success. It seemed once he got one student out of the school there were at least two ready to take their place. The last one who graduated was Danny Benoit.
He sat back thinking. He really had no one to worry about anymore, other then Chavo's son who had a strange knack for driving people almost through mats.
In the past few years the students had gotten more interesting. Cameron Hickenbottom and Simone Johnson coming to OVW and going to high school in the area. Both Shawn and Dwayne had done a lot of fast-talking to get him to allow that to happen. Before the requirement was that you had to graduate high school before you could attend OVW. Cameron came his junior year and Simone her sophomore year. He still wondered what the parents and even himself were thinking.
Then Athena Hart decided she wanted to follow in her father's footsteps. He had agreed to letting her join the school and agreeing to keep her secret. He figured what was one more secret? The only problem was the cabin. He didn't think it was possible for Athena to find out about her father, but Eddy was still nervous about all of it.
Danny applying was no surprise to him. He had tried talking Nancy into letting him attend the school and attend Brown High School. Somehow it hadn't surprised him when Nancy said absolutely not. He had allowed Danny in without a second thought. He thought if he had been keeping Athena from finding out about her father, he could do the same with Danny.
He hadn't realized how wrong he was.
He had to admit he was glad they were out of the school and on with their own careers.
He picked up the framed picture of him with the three most important women in his life, his wife Vicki, and his daughters Shaul, Sherilyn, and Kaylie. He once again contemplated officially retiring from everything. All of his children were grown up. Shaul was pregnant with her first child, Sherilyn was busy with her job and Kaylie was in college. He was no longer hiding anybody so maybe he should enjoy life with his wife. After one of his nieces died earlier that year, he had thought maybe it was time he spent more time with his family.
He'd have to discuss it with Vicki.
"Working awfully late Guerrero." A voice said.
Eddy looked up to see Eric Bischoff standing in the doorway to his office.
"Hey Eric. Yeah I was just about to go home. What brings you to OVW?"
"Well I called your home looking for you and your wife said you were working late." He looked around for a moment before plopping down in the chair. "Last time I was in this office, you threw me out."
"Last time you were in this building, you dragged Danny into a closet." Eddy reminded him.
"True. So I heard Danny had his first match in WCW tonight. Must be glad to finally have Athena and Danny out of here."
"It makes things a lot quieter that's for sure." Eddy said with a chuckle. "So what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Michael wants to meet with us on Friday to discuss a few things. Michaels' attorney is bringing up some things that we need to all talk about."
Eddy made a note on his calendar. "I'll tell Chavo tomorrow. You could have called."
"I know. I was in the area."
"Sounds like you are enjoying retirement."
"Yes." He said relaxing more in the chair. "The money Vince paid me over the years has come in handy. Loree and I are going to spend some time with the kids before heading for a month long trip to Japan."
"Well have fun." He said picking up his keys and going to the door with Eric following him.
"There's one more thing Guerrero. The warden called Shane and said that Randy Orton's been visiting Hunter a few times. I don't know if that's something to worry about or not."
