After getting out of the bathroom I could not remember which curtain I came out of. There was now five more black curtains up since Linda and I first came into the backstage area.

"Hmm I'll just call Linda so she can stick her head out of the curtain." I thought.

As soon as I grabbed my phone to call Linda my phone rang.

"Hello"

"Athena it's me Michael… don't hang up, please."

"What do you want Michael, I told you to stop calling me."

"I know Athena, but I need to talk to you."

"Michael I am giving you thirty seconds and if you don't say what you have to say I'm hanging up."

"I love and I need you in my life. Athena I'll never stop trying to win you back. The mistake I made was inexcusable."

"Five seconds" I said.

"Please forgive me."

"Time's up. Good bye and lose my number." I said hanging up my phone. Just then I felt someone tapping on my shoulder.

"What took you so long? I just ran into Kevin the magazine editor and he said that he wants the two of us to meet with him to right after the show. Which can only mean one thing."

"What's that?"

"We have to go backstage with all the wrestlers again. As if this day couldn't get any better."

"Today has been fun, I'm glad I decided to come. I haven't seen this many good looking men in forever. Lets head to our seats I don't want to miss a thing."

"Oh, before I forget Kevin gave me two reporters passes so we don't have any trouble getting back stage again." Linda said.

Linda pulled the small book bag she had on her back off and began to pull out two long strings. At the end of them were to plastic cover passes that read WWE reporters pass with our names and the current date. I couldn't believe it. There was just so much that was happening in one day. So I did what any normal person would do. I pinch Linda.

"Ouch what was that for?" Linda yelled rubbing her arm.

"I was just trying to make sure I wasn't dreaming." I said

"Your suppose to pinch yourself not someone else." Linda said still rubbing her arm.

We began to make our way to the seats. As we walked I saw an usher and decided to see if Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg made good on their promise of ring side seats.

"Excuse me. I just finish an interview with the tag team of the new age outlaws and they told us that they were going to have our seats moved up ring side." I said.

The usher rolled his eyes and pulled out his walkie talkie and mumbled a few words into it. Someone on the other end responded saying "What are their names?" Instead of waiting for the usher to repeat what Linda and I just heard I said our name before he could ask. I heard the voice say they are fine take them to the front row on the left side of the ring.

"Right this way ladies" The usher said

Linda and I were trying not to squeal as we were being walked to our seats closer to the ring.

"Thank you for your help" Linda said to the usher

We had about twenty minutes before the show was scheduled to start. I looked over at Linda and she had the biggest smile I have ever seen on her face. I decided to just seat and take it all in. My night seemed as if it could not get any better. An announcement came over the loudspeaker. "Please begin to find your way to your seats the show will begin shortly."

About ten minutes later the arena was filled with people. Some fans were chanting the names of their favorite wrestlers while other just seemed to scream out of pure excitement. Looking around at the crowd you could really see how diverse the fans really are. You had people of all races and ages there. There were three guys about four rows back from us that if I was still in high school they would be considered the gothic guys. Next to us we're a group of guys that could be categorized as the jocks and next to them the nerds and on the other side of the ring I could see an entire family.

"Wow Linda I didn't realize how different the wrestling fans can look."

"Oh yeah, men, women and children. That's part of why I love it."

While I was continuing to do my mental survey of what the different fans looked like the lights began to go dim in the arena. The crowd went wild. It was like nothing I have ever heard. As loud as it was I am surprised that I can still hear. Then an announcer stepped into the ring. He began to read off someone's career list of wins and greatest matches. Then you would hear what sounded like royal theme music and the announcer said "Introducing half of our announcing pair Jerry The King Lawler." The crowd went wild again as he walked his way down the ramp waving to fans and giving a few a high fives. He made his way over to the announce table. Then the ring announcer began to introduce another announcer. "Here is the second half of our announcing duo. You all know him as the good old boy with the cowboy hats. Good Old J.R." The crowd went wild again chanting "J.R., J.R., J.R.,J.R.," I found myself as well as Linda getting caught up in the excitement and chanting "J.R" .

As Good Old J.R. made it to his seats you could see the lights in the arena were getting lower and lower until it was complete darkness. Then out of nowhere we heard a huge bang and music came on. The pyro was like nothing I had ever seen. You would think it was the fourth of July in the building. The crowd went mad again. I thought to myself that if I didn't go deaf before I certainly was now. Linda was trying to say something to me but I couldn't hear a word she was saying so I just grinned and nodded my head yes. I could have just agreed to give her my first born child; I don't know. Most likely she was saying something about how exciting this was. About five minute after the fireworks began a wrestler theme music came on. It wasn't a wrestler I knew. I have never heard of him. His match was probably what Linda would call a filler match. Then another wrestler came out. I think he was a local guy. When it was announced where he was from, the guy got a few cheers but nothing major. His match began and it was over. The local guy didn't have a chance. He had to be helped out of the ring.

"I think his ego is a little bruised" I said to Linda. And she started laughing. Then his music came on. It had sort of a hip hop vibe to it. And I felt my heart beat quicker. I saw some pyro and he appeared at the top of the ramp, John Cena. He looked larger than life. As he walked down the ramp he was giving high fives to the fans. Grabbing at the chain he wore around his neck. He finished coming down the ramp and walked around the ring on the side we were on still giving fans high fives. When he got in front of Linda and I, he pulled off his shirt threw it into the crowd behind us and raised his arms in the air. It was one of the most amazing sights I had ever seen up close. I knew that he had to have a well cared for body under his clothes but he looked like something sculpted out of marble. His body was perfection, pure perfection.

"Linda look at how good he looks."

"I know, and he keeps looking at you Athena. And I think you're drooling."

"Very funny, and he is not looking at me. He is looking at everyone, not just me."

"If you say so." Linda said

John got into the ring and you could tell he was having a great time. Then we heard more theme music come on and a local wrestler came out of the curtains.

"This is going to be a short match." Linda said.

"Why do you say that?

"Because the other wrestler is an up and comer and they never win against the wrestlers."

While Linda and I was talking the match ended and John Cena was announced as a the winner. John rolled out of the ring and began giving the fans high fives. He posed for three pictures and made his exit to the back. There were about five more matches including a Divas match with Lita and Trish and it was over. It was so exciting. The arena went wild.

"Athena it is time that we go meet Kevin. And you know what that means we have to go to the back with the wrestlers." Linda said bouncing up and down.

As we were getting ready to begin making our way to the back area the usher from earlier came.

"Excuse me ladies but I was sent to bring the both of you to meet Mr. King." The usher said.

"Who is Mr. King?" I asked.

"I don't know but he said that he spoke with you earlier"

"Oh that must be Kevin the Magazine editor." Linda said

"That makes sense." I said

As we were walking back stage we ran into the new age outlaws.

"Hey ladies how did you enjoy the show?" The Road Dogg said

"It was amazing we had a great time. Thanks for the seat upgrade we really enjoyed it." I said

"Yeah thanks the seats were great." Linda said

I was so surprised that Linda was able to talk. And she seemed to be containing her excitement now.

"I am glad you ladies had a great time. Next time we are doing another show in town just email or call us and let us know if you want to come to the show." Billy Gunn said.

Linda and I both received hugs and kisses on the cheeks from both guys. Linda received Road Dogg's email address in order to let him know when we may want to receive tickets to the next event. But if I know Linda she will be emailing the Road Dogg before the next event.

"Again thank you guys so much for the great seats. You really made our day." I said.

We continued to walk through the backstage area.

"We are getting close." The usher said. "His office is right around the next corner."

As we turned the corner I ran into what felt like a hard wall and fell hard on my behind.

"Oche what was that." I said.

I looked up and I saw those beautiful deep blue eyes. And an outreached hand.

"I am so sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Let me help you up. Are you alright?" John asked.

"I'm fine it was my mistake I wasn't looking where I was I going." I said.

As he was helping me up I grabbed onto his arms giving them a slight squeeze, for support of course.

"Thank you for helping me up."

"No problem."

I could see out of the corner of my eye Linda with a huge grin on her face enjoying the show.

"Congratulations on winning your match."

"Thank you. Well my dream of becoming a champion is just beginning and it is going to take a lot of work."

"Well you seem willing to do that. Again thank you for the interview John. You have a good night." I said

"You as well, Athena"

"What in the world?" Linda said laughing as we walked away "The way the two of you flirt and look at each other."

"Whatever Linda, it is not like I am going to see him again."

We walked into a room that read WWE editor. When we walked in I was expecting to see a desk and a few chairs. What I saw was the rap up of a photo shoot for the magazine.

"Hey ladies I hope you didn't have trouble getting up here?" Kevin said

"We made it here alright, one of the ushers escorted the two of us."

"Great. It is late and I know it has been a long day for the two of you so I will get right to the point. You have two pages in the magazine that your interviews will appear on. For the John Cena interview you have about a half of page and for the tag team you have a full page. I know it is soon but what ideas do you have for the interviews?"

"This is all Athena. She is the reporter, I am more so support." Linda said taking a step back so Athena could take a step forward.

"Well I was thinking for the tag team we should integrate the match from tonight and the interview. Almost like it is the two of them telling what it feels like getting ready for a match and the actual match. For John Cena it will be more of getting to know who he is. The fans are not too familiar with him so that is what this article will be." I said.

"Excellent, to be honest with you I was not really sure what you would come up with but I am pleasantly surprised. The magazine is going to press in two weeks. So I will need to have a first draft for both articles in three days. You can email it to me and then you can email me the final copy by the end of next week."

Kevin passed me his business card with his number and email address.

"Here is my information if you have any questions or concerns just email or call me. Don't hesitate" Kevin said.

Linda and I shock Kevin's hand and proceeded to leave arena.

"This has been the best night and on top of it you have found a new career." Linda said.

"It has been a good night but who says I have a new career?"

"Well you have been saying for over a year how you are tired of your job and you are ready for a change. And this is definitely a change."

"Two articles does not make it a career. And the only thing I am ready for is my bed."

The next morning since it was Saturday I decided I needed to do my annual pampering routine. So when I got up at eleven I drew myself a bubble bath with candles, fruit and a note pad to start on the articles. After about an hour of writing, eating and soaking in the bubble bath I decided I was beginning to look like a prune so it was time for me to get out. Next it was time to do my nails. Nothing fancy just the usual clear coat to give my nails a natural shine. About three hours had passed since I woke up and now I planned to just relax and finish the two articles. I was done with the John Cena article and I was halfway through with the other. When the phone rang.
