Tumblr media
WITH NEW RESURGENCE of WCW wrestlers, the WWF has a brand new problem on their hands. Under pressure, Vince decides to create the Invasion pay-per-view, an entire show dedicated to WWF vs WCW. In turn, Shane initiates your undercover plan. Oh, and Trish Stratus also gives you a proper thank you for helping her out. Lita isn't too welcoming, though. Matt isn’t either..
Tumblr media
All of you had heard the announcement of Invasion just this morning. Supposedly, you and your team would fight the WWF next month, culminating in a winner-takes-all match.
You figure Shane was making his calls to let everyone know. You wouldn't be surprised if you were the first to know it, but it's unbelievable. Is the WWF challenging you guys? The answer is yes, but you know they will lose that battle.
This may have been the beginning of the end for that company, and nothing brings you more joy than seeing it crumble beneath your feet. Vince must've felt incredibly pressured by WCW. Dare you say, he felt threatened if he was going as far as making an entire show dedicated to this.
Supposedly, no one knew the entire card yet. The only thing Shane knew was that one of those matches would be Team WWF vs. Team WCW and that he needed extra time to prep everyone for it.
There's an inevitable group meeting to be called; you're sure of it. You don't mind being there one bit. You have to ensure your fellow wrestlers are pumped up with a pep talk before going out there.
Hell, you might even have your own match! So exciting. The only person you could think of them pitting you against is Lita, which you didn't mind at all.
"[Name], your hands are shaking."
Torrie's speaking pulls you out of your thoughts, and you bring up your hands to look at them.
You are shaking, and you find it incredibly hard to stop, as much as you try to will your body to.
"Ooh, you are!" She exclaims, looking over you again. "Like, really bad."
The black leathery couch creaks as you shift in your spot. You two were hanging out backstage at the next show, just as Shane requested.
There's gotta be something else you could do instead of sitting around like this. You wish you could run some interference, but as of tonight, you're trying to get into Team WWF's good graces.
You grimace at the thought. That is NOT your company, nor will it ever be. It even feels wrong to think that you belong to them.
You try to twist and turn one of your hands, but you're still jittering. "Sorry." You quickly apologize. "No idea why I can't stop."
When Torrie says absolutely nothing, you turn over to her. It's like she's examining you, but the awed look on her face is starting to agitate you.
She exhaled sharply and pointed a finger at you with a smile. "I get it now! You're nervous!" She exclaims.
"No," You're quickly denying it. "I'm cold, that's all. There's a draft in this room. I don't know how you're not cold with what you're wearing." You motion to her red jumpsuit cut in possibly the most revealing way ever.
"What's wrong with this?" She asks, looking down at herself. "If we want to get contracts, we'll have to make some sacrifices."
The first thing you say is: "…Ew." And although you mutter out an apology, you still find the implication gross.
 "Anyway," Torrie moves on. "You know there's nothing to worry about. Shane has everything under control!"
"Under control?" You jump out of your seat. "Invasion is next month! We have no idea what they're gonna put on the card. I don't think any of us has control over it, WWF does!"
Whenever you get wound up like that, Torrie would always back off to let you cool off. You'd generally sort it by your lonesome. But with how you're acting this go-around, it seemed like you need her intervention today.
"It's okay! That's why we're here." She reminded. She stands up to look you right in the eye. "To figure out what they're up to."
At first, you don't say anything. All you do is look back at Torrie. She gives you an expectant look, and you suck your teeth in response.
"I know." You say. "It's—"
You two are startled by the door slamming open, nearly falling off its hinges. You can hear Vince McMahon's voice from the outside, which makes you stand on guard.
Two men enter the room instead. They look around, turn the room upside down, move chairs, and look behind some plants.
Could Vince not come in himself? Too cowardly to come in? What a pansy.
A camera follows in right behind them, and you get the notion that you're on live TV. You can't hear it, but the crowd cheers at you and Torrie's appearance.
Torrie instinctively hides behind you. In turn, you do your best to stand strong. You try not to show your nervousness, crossing your arms so that you can hide your hands.
The two men in here were still turning the entire room upside down in search of something. You're not happy that these guys are ruining your "unassigned-assigned" room.
"Excuse me! Are you looking for something?" You finally say.
They freeze in tandem, and one looks at you in realization. They didn't care about your presence at all, huh? "Get in here!" One of the men yells out. "That's the girl with Booker T!"
With those words, Vince McMahon himself storms right into the room. You push Torrie even further behind you when he enters.
"Where the hell is Booker T?!" He gives the room a once over and then turns toward you. "You! You would know! Where is he?!"
"…. He's not here." You answer. The sound of shuffling makes you turn your head to the right. One of the men decided to toss your bag across the floor. "Hey! Watch it, that's mine! What the hell is wrong with you?" 
He slowly turns around. "What?"
"You heard me! "Whoever this guy was, your patience was already running thin. "Don't you have any manners? Pick it up!"
"I'm not picking that damn thing up." He says. Now that you get a better look at him, he looks exactly like the figure you saw at WWF New York.
If your memory serves you correctly, this is Stone Cold Steve Austin. Who just threw your very expensive bag on the floor?
The other guy with medals around his neck leans down and picks it up instead. "Here you go." He reaches it out toward you.
"Kurt, what the hell are you doing?!" He yelled. "She's a WCW girl! You [Name]?"
"Oh." Kurt falters, then drops your bag right onto the floor. Again.
"That's me, yeah." Though you confirm your identity, you feel exasperated. The crowd can't help but laugh. "…Please." You beg. "STOP DROPPING MY BAG." You kneel to pick it up and gently place it on the couch behind you. This time, they won't throw it around as if it had no value.
After that whole debacle, the question remains. "Well, where is he?" Vince asks. You narrow your eyes at him.
It takes everything, and you mean everything, not to insult him. It's all too easy to beat everyone up with a makeshift weapon and leave with Torrie for the rest of the night.
"You didn't hear me before? I said, I don't know." You repeat. "Maybe you should open up your ears, ol—"
"W-We don't know, Mr. McMahon!" Torrie cuts you off quickly. It's for the best. "You see, we're so glad you came here. Our contracts are expiring, and we were looking for something new."
You're sure that they were suspicious. After you attacked Lita, you weren't sure they'd go through with her idea. Torrie, sure. You already know she'll get in because she wasn't guilty, and newsflash: she's also attractive.
You, you're not sure. Obviously, you're attractive, but you may have ruined your chance by jumping on Lita like that. You decide to decorate your white lie with another.
"I just don't want to be a leader. I was told to do that to Lita, and I feel horrible. I don't want to be involved with WCW." You kick up your act to 100 by forcing tears to spring to your eyes, which sells it more. "Shane may even fire me for talking to you…"
"That's what you get when you deal with those classless WCW folk," Kurt snidely remarked, shaking his head. "Am I right, fellas?"
Vince and Austin look at each other for a moment, then nod their heads. Then, Kurt turns to you with his hand out.
"Hi, [Name]. Nice to meet you. I'm Kurt Angle, Olympic gold medalist." He reaches his hand out for you to shake, and you use your non-wet hand to shake it. Sorry about your bag." 
Guess an apology is a good way to start.
"Hello. It's fine." You shake his hand quickly and then return to your sob story. "I guess you're right. That company is classless." 
Torrie rubs your shoulder. "It's okay. It's okay, [Name]." She then turns to Vince. "Will you consider it?"
He's still not convinced. "And you are…..?"
She fills in the blank for him. "Torrie Wilson. From WCW. We would be so honored to work with you."
'We?' You think. Torrie must've been taking French classes. 
Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Seeing as no one's jumping out at them, all three men relax at her words.
"I might be able to tell you where I think he is." When you say that, all three men perk up toward you.
Torrie looks alarmed but quickly calms down in fear of getting caught. You try to reassure her by patting the hand she kept on your shoulder.
"My only request is that you consider hiring us when our contracts go down the drain."
Honestly, you don't know where Booker T is, but you still try to compromise to get in good with them.
"Alright then. I'll do it. But Torrie, it's good to meet you. Very, very good." Vince was clearly trying to make moves on your blonde friend. "Maybe this weekend, dinner?"
Before Torrie can respond, you're quick to answer him. " We," You emphasize, "—can meet you at the show. No dinner, sorry. I don't think we'll be hungry."
Austin is pleased to hear it. "That sounds good. We don't need her. Then we'll go to dinner, Vince. I'll clear my schedule."
Kurt immediately jumps on the bandwagon. "Me too. I'll be there."
Austin shakes his head. "…We don't need you."
You clear your throat, making everyone look at you. "If you wanna know, I'm 99% sure Booker T is somewhere in the locker rooms. He could be looking for you guys like you're looking for him."
You can see them get all hyped up at your reveal, so you hope that was the push so they can get the fuck out of here.
Kurt is the only one who thanks you; he mutters it while vigorously shaking your hand one last time.
And thankfully, it was the push. They weren't sticking around for too long. At the very least, the three bid you and Torrie a quick goodnight and bolted out the door.
It must be important to find him. It's too bad you pointed them in the wrong direction. You knew that he wasn't anywhere near the stadium yet.
The more they looked, the more they wouldn't expect his appearance. They'll think he's not there at all, and the next time they're defenseless…WHAM! They won't see it coming!
God, you need to find a way to top that. Booker T is beating you in that department! You pray that Shane wouldn't actually get rid of you because you weren't performing up to standard.
You've got this. All you have to do is start plotting in your hotel room. You won't ask Shane what he thinks should be done. You'll spring the idea on him instead.
You wipe the crocodile tears, swiping a few fingers under your eye to not smudge the makeup you had on. Torrie walks over to the door and peeks out to ensure they're gone. She gently closes the door behind her afterward.
"When they came in, you looked like you were about to scream." She says.
You snicker. "I wish I could tell you how uncomfortable that entire exchange made me. Starting from pretending I'm something I'm not to that McMahon being around making me gag."
"I could've handled it myself." She starts. "But I still appreciate you saying something. We definitely wouldn't have gotten those contracts if you said anything more than that."
Yes, sometimes you could say some crazy things, but it's not always your intention to! Things tend to slip out of your mouth. You're just speaking your truth…
People have told you before that you like to speak about what's on your mind. Whether that was bad or good was always left to your interpretation.
"Pretty much. Anyway, we should split up." You suggest. "I'm going to try to apologize to Lita. Maybe I can find other people in the meantime."
"Oooh, you're finally deciding to make friends! Now you don't need to bother me and Stacy anymore." Torrie teased.
"I'm not gonna be friends with anyone in here!" You clarify. Seriously, you wouldn't be caught dead hanging with someone from here. "Besides, you guys love me and would get jealous of seeing me with anyone else."
She smiles at you. "Hmm, we get jealous? I'll have to get back to you on that."
You try to stay in your itty bitty circle for the most part, but you have no qualms about hanging out with coworkers.
Now, people from the WWF? No way. You don't think they could replicate the charm that the others had. Sure, people like Sting would stare creepily at you as you played chess. That was neat, but you can't beat him to this day!
You learn things, too. People like Randy Savage would yell at you and tell you to raise your voice to present yourself better. Fun!
And then you had people like Mona, who was friendly and calm. She's given you advice many times. It was a change of pace from the energetic characters you surrounded yourself with. 
You think there's no competition.
You move past Torrie and open the door, peaking your head down the hallway. There is someone not too far away. It's not Kurt, Vince, or Austin. It's someone else.
He's blonde, and he's holding something almost obnoxiously large. From this distance, it's safe to assume it's a trophy.
You retreat into the room. "And just like that, I already see my first target. How about I meet you back here when the show's over?"
"Fine with me." She agreed. "You know, I saw a Friday's on Time Square. Do you want to go after the show? Oh, oh, and who was it at the door?"
"I don't see why not." You don't mind hanging out. Not one bit. "And I think you're asking the wrong person. I can tell he's not a part of our team. He was blonde, and I think he was holding a trophy. No clue who that is. I need Shane to run me down on these people. I only know Trish, Lita, Matt, and the Big Show from him. I think I know the commentators, too?"
Shane was only telling you important information, so you figured these other randoms were less important to be known by you.
"Oooh, he's blonde?" Torrie's got that knowing sound in her voice, and you groan. "That's totally your type, [Name]. Everyone backstage used to say that you loved the blondes."
You look at her incredulously. "You're joking." Because she had to be. Who would even say that? It's not your fault that 80% of your friends had that hair color.
"Hehe. Yeah, I am. Wait, come here! If you want his attention, you've gotta oil up the good bits! Also, I think you need to wear something else!" Torrie exclaimed, dashing over to her bag.
Nuh-uh. No way. Not this time. She will NOT make you her Barbie doll again. You let the woman recommend clothes to you once and now she thinks she's your stylist!
"Torrie, what the hell do you mean oil up?! Leave me alone!" You exclaim. "I've gotta get this guy before he leaves!"
She's got the bottle in her hands, shooting you a pout. "Fine. But can't you lift your shirt just a little so that—"
"If you say anything else, I swear to god I will get you." You threaten, pointing a finger at her.
She backs off, holding her hands up to you. "Touchy!"
Saying nothing else to her, you open the door and walk down the hallway to approach this stranger.
You remember to keep a puzzled look on your face, then look around the room, all confused. The more ditzy you act, the more men will feel inclined to help you.
You let out an aggravated sigh, which is the one thing that caught his attention. He shifts the trophy in his hand to take a better look at you and then takes a few steps back in alarm.
"Woah, rogue WCW woman spotted. Don't attack me." He says. "I'm armed." He holds out the trophy to you warily, then pokes your stomach with one of the tiny metal prongs of the trophy.
"Ow—not a threat!" As plastic as those prongs were, they hurt like hell.  You feign panic, throwing your hands up. "I'm not a threat. I was just looking for someone! I want to tell Lita I'm sorry. Have you seen her?"
He's not sold at all, considering you cracked her head open the other day. "You want to say you're sorry? Listen, I don't care how tempting you are, I won't fall for whatever you've got going on. You're gonna try and take her out!"
This guy may have got the wrong idea. You're not into seducing him. Not yet, anyway.
"Thank you," You accept the compliment. "I, and probably you, have no idea what you're going on about." He may be in his head about you. "I'm only here to make amends because my contract may expire. I'll be out of work and out of a leader spot in no time."
They'd have to pry you from Shane's cold, dead hands. You don't have a choice but to hold onto the lie that your contract is ending soon.
"That sucks." He outright says, using a hand to comb through the top of his hair. "Uh, I mean, I'm sorry to hear that." He genuinely did seem apologetic, so he may be falling for it.
You’re still trying to be nice. "I'm [Name], but with you knowing what I did to Lita, you might already know."
"Yeah," He nods. "People've been talking about you beating up Lita. They're wondering what they're gonna do now. You're kinda gutsy for even showing up tonight. I'm Edge." He feels it's only fitting for him to introduce himself back, but it's easy to see that he's hesitant.
You smile anyway. Your following words are honeyed when you speak them. "Hi, Edge. Good to meet you. I'm gonna remind you that I mean no harm, seriously. After I talk to Lita, I'll even leave the arena. Are you sure you don't know where she is?"
"Lita.." Edge repeats, looking away from you for a second. "She might be with the Hardy Boys. I'm pretty sure."
It's part of a confession, making you think he had been holding back due to his suspicion.
"Hardy Boys, huh? Ah, do you know where catering is?" You ask. "I got so lost, completely forgot how big the Garden is." It's an exaggeration, but you should get some directions while you're at it.
…This is partly because you're hungry too.
Will the WWF's food hold its own against WCW catering? You need to put it to the test. You won't lie; your company had some of the best food by far.
It's not like you could put anything else to the test anyway. You hadn't even gotten a chance to get started on those local circuits because you took the chance and signed up for the Powerplant instead. It may have been too early, but it's gotten you far enough to be handed that beautiful contract.
It's not like you minded, you practically grew up watching it with relatives. Calling home with the exciting news was returned with happiness and playful jealousy.
Edge turns and points down the hallway. "Should it be that way to your left? Could be wrong, so don't come back trying to attack me."
You wave him off. "I won't. I think I'll give you a suplex. How does that sound to you?"
"I think I'd be the one doing that to you, [Name]." He countered. "You look pretty easy to carry."
"Edge! Been lookin' for you, man. Where'd you go?" Another voice makes you turn around to see yet another blonde man with goggles approaching you, and you fight the urge to throw your arms up in exasperation.
Maybe Torrie was right. You're not beating the blonde-lover allegations. You're losing… she's winning!! You hate it!
He looks over toward you, eyeing you up and down. Then he comes closer to Edge, muttering something else. "Who's that?"
"[Name], this is Christian, my brother." Edge introduces. "Christian, this is [Name]."
Brother, huh?
Christian looks between the two of you incredulously, then settles his eyes on Edge. "Wait, this is the chick that—"
The both of you say the end at the very same time. "…smashed Lita's head into the ground." You already knew it was coming. "Yes. That's me."
"Guess it's obvious then." He snickered.
"I may have done it, but it wasn't my intention." For a second, you pause because it was. There's no way it was just a freak accident. "It wasn't my intention to make her my enemy." You correct. "All I wanted to do was say sorry about it. It was all a misunderstanding on my end. Maybe we can work together against WCW."
You're trying your best to present yourself as a charity case towards them, and they, along with the others, are taking the easy bait.
He's not as apologetic as Edge was, but Christian still shakes his finger at you. "Work together, eh? You know what? She could help us, Edge. Those Hardy's, you know we've been feuding since 1999."
He then turns to you. "[Name], it's a big thing."
"What was the last time we won, last month?" Edge asks.
Christian takes a second to think about it and then replies. "Yeah, man. It was us and Rhyno. Eddie tagged along with them. Then we lost to him and Jeff. Remember?"
"Yep. Something happened every time." Edge reminisces about those matches. "We won that first one, sure, but Lita kept getting in the way."
"Exactly." Christian's leading up to something with this. "I hate to say it, but they've got us beat, man. We never got someone to deal with Lita, and she's done that hurricanrana crap to both of us! That's what usually messes us up." Christian continued to explain.
"If we have her…" Edge vigorously nods his head, waving his finger back at him. "I see where you're going with this man."
This was perfect! You swear you'd kiss Christian if you could. He's got you right where you need to be for the most part. A smile grows on Edge's face. "She can get rid of Lita! Dude, you're like, genius level of genius."
Genius level of genius? That’s original.
Christian takes that trophy out of Edge's hands for some reason. He snugly adjusts it in his arms, holding it as if he wouldn't let go.
Neither you nor Edge question it; they are more interested in getting rid of those Hardy Boys once and for all.
Well, you're only partly in on their fantasy. You had no idea how their feud went! The only question you have to ask is, "Are you guys going to be able to get us on the card for that?"
"You don't have to worry about that, [Name]. As the King of the Ring winner, I'll make sure it gets done!" Edge exclaims.
Aha! No wonder he had that trophy. It makes sense, but you're not sure how big of an achievement it was. As long as it got you on the card, you're good.
"Commissioner Regal is a real pain. Are you sure you're gonna be able to do it, dude?" Christian asks. "You know, it's always the Brits. He acts like he's got a stick up his ass."
"Don't worry about it. Me and you will go into his office." Edge pats his shoulder. "We'll get that match in no time."
You're down. "Okay then. You guys tell me when we go. I'll be ready. Edge, you said catering was down that way, right?"
He gives you a thumbs up, and you say goodbye. Maybe you'll see them more in the future, especially since you're teaming up now.
You turn your head behind you and see they're still watching you go. You decide to give them one final wave for real. Before you get to catering, you wait until you're a reasonable distance to pull out your phone and dial Shane up.
It's a quick detour, hitting a sharp left in the hallway. You're met with another room nearby, a gift from whatever god was out there, the janitor's closet.
It would be better to finish the call there, wouldn't it? No curious eyes, no listeners. It'll just be you. 
Your paranoia starts to spike because you're already peeking around the corner to see if anyone's there. The coast may be clear, but you won't take your chances. Closet it is.
You've already got your phone in your hand as you open the door. The only thing that would keep you company now were the cleaning supplies lined up on the shelves. 
You're already dialing Shane up once you close the door behind you. Most of your paranoia has subsided after closing it, and you keep your hand on the doorknob to ensure that no one else opens it to interrupt you.
Your back is turned, but what more should you be afraid of? Those mops and brooms? If anyone saw you going in, you'd say you needed some fresh air alone. Something like that.
"I wasn't expecting any company."
"My god!" You instinctively yell, jumping out of your skin. Goddamn it! Why would anyone be in the dark, in the janitor's closet of all places?! Your hand reaches for the light switch, flipping it on as soon as your fingers land on it. 
Just your luck. You walk into a squatter's home. You turn behind you to see a man sitting before you, slumped over with his curly hair falling in front of his eyes. "[Name], isn't it?"
Your hand is still on the doorknob. Would it be wrong to say you don't think you can leave yet? He knows your name. You're still alert. "Um, maybe. Why in the hell are you in here alone?" Other than being a total creep.
"Doing drugs. You want?"
He offers it to you so casually! You're taken aback, and it takes you a minute to reply. "No!"
"Relax, I'm joking. You're not a cop, are you? All I am here for is the silence. It's the only thing I can ever find peace of mind in." He says. 
You look at him and nod. "Right. Yeah. Okay. Well, this was all an accident. I have a really important call, so I'm gonna have to leave. Although a word of advice, maybe some pink would be good for your decor."
You're turning away from him, but he's saying something else the next thing you know.
"WCW shouldn't be alone in this fight. We need to take this company down. The WWF is fated to fall."
He makes you turn back around curiously. This may not be a squatter after all; he knows about WCW.
"Who exactly are you?"
As soon as you ask that question, the phone picks up. Shane's voice is loudly on the speaker, "Hello, [Name]? Are you alright?"
You immediately hold the phone to your ear. "What? Yeah. I'm fine. Can I call you back?"
"It's good to know it’s actually your name," the man says, setting his hands on his ankles to stand up from his spot. "Don't hang up now. The show's just starting." He comes closer to you, and you're already trying to hit buttons on your phone for some privacy.
"Don't suppose that's Shane McMahon on the phone? Let me talk to him. We're close. Real close." There's supposed to be excitement in his voice, yet it's delivered to you in the most monotone way possible.
"No, you can't talk to him! I mean, it's not Shane!" You try to cover your tracks, holding out your hand to him. "I have to go, so go do your drugs or whatever you were up to."
He doesn't leave you alone, instead reaching over and snatching the phone out of your hands. He lifts the phone in the air so you can't reach it, then turns away.
"Shane, can you hear me?" He asks, pulling the phone closer to his mouth. "Remember me?"
There's silence at first, and then Shane's voice comes from the phone. "Oh! Hey, Scotty! How're you doing?" You're in complete disbelief.
"You know this guy?!" You exclaim. "Shane, are you pranking me right now?!"
"I don't go by that anymore. It's Raven now. I'll be the first to tell you that ECW wants in. We've seen what's been going on."
"ECW as in Extreme Championship Wrestling?" Do they really want in? Any help is good, and it'd be two against one. You're not entirely against the idea. "Wait, give me my phone back! This isn't for you!"
"You're with [Name] right now?"
"Yeah. She's pretty aggressive. It goes to show what kind of women you surround yourself with, Shane." He comments.
"Who in the world told you that?" You ask, ignoring his snide remark. "Are you ECW's leader or something? I bet you don't have as much authority as I do."
"Okay, okay. There's no need to fight, guys." Shane is trying to be a peacemaker, doing his best to ease any tension. "Raven, if you can clue Paul Heyman in, we can discuss this in more detail in person. My invitation is extended to you, but I need to speak with [Name] for now. We can't proceed unless I talk with her first."
Thank god Shane was on your side. You can't fight the cheeky smile as you expectantly hold your hand out.
"Fine. I'll be the person to spread the message to him. The sooner, the better. Besides, no one wants to keep this outdated Nokia anyway." The sarcasm in his voice is the first emotion you've heard from him.
And you groan in response. For the love of god! Everyone needs to leave the Nokia alone! Raven begrudgingly hands it over and turns over to the door.
You'd think he'd say something else to you, but he only gives you one last glance before leaving.
"And stay out!" You yell behind him, slamming your palm onto the door.
"It's a pleasure to hear your voice, [Name]," Shane says. "I'm assuming you didn't just call me for some casual conversation before you were interrupted. What's going on?"
"Right, right. Before, I was so rudely interrupted." You say. "I ran into this guy Edge and his brother, Christian. They wanted me to team up with them to get rid of Lita. I figured it was a good opportunity to get myself out there. I'm also on my way to apologize to her after I finish talking to you. Is that alright?"
"Is what alright? You apologizing? I was the one that recommended you should—"
"No, no, that I'm even here. You called me a part of your dream team. Torrie told them our contracts were expiring soon. I played off that, but any smart person wouldn't get rid of their leader that fast. I don't want them to doubt me." At the end, you let out a sharp sigh.
Thanks to your explanations, no one's questioning you, but it's pretty easy to get caught up in a lie you tell.
"You worry a lot!" He laughs again, and you furrow your brows. "It'll be fine. A lot of those wrestlers aren't smarter than a bag of rocks. Trust me, I know this for a fact. My father's not any smarter. He has no idea what's coming to him, especially with ECW possibly helping us."
Talk about throwing people under the bus. It seems Shane's pretty relentless when it comes to his old employees. You're just glad you're not on the receiving end. Shane's been here longer than you, so you have no choice but to believe him.
However, you still feel hesitant. "Are you really sure?"
"How about this, then. I keep Torrie so she and Stacy can feud with Trish and Lita; you continue to play nice with the WWF since you're already there. You let them think that you're working your way to betray us when, in actuality, you're going to betray them."
Keeping Torrie after she told them that your contracts were expiring? That would be risky, along with you slotting into the roster. But you'll try and conform to it. "Okay, okay." You agree. "I think I can do that."
"Have some faith in me." It's like he can sense your hesitation. "More importantly, have some faith in yourself, [Name]. Was that all?"
The only thing you can do is try. "Yeah, I'll talk to you when I hear anything new."
"Alright then, you take care, [Name]."
Ending the call with those final words, you shove your phone back into your pocket. As much as you want to take a second to breathe, Lita's the next person on your list.
Opening the closet door, you head straight towards the double doors of catering. Oh boy, you hope Lita's in here. If not, you'll have to continue your journey elsewhere. You don't have all night, though.
You're met with a few unfamiliar faces when you open the door. They stare at you in confusion, which quickly turns into alarm. Some people even stand up from their seats.
You come in peace, for now! "Everyone can relax. I want to be on your side now. I came to apologize." You don't even beat around the bush.
Most are suspicious but still get back into their seats. What were they going to do anyway? You could defend yourself with one of these chairs if you needed to.
Scanning the room, you find the woman of the hour looking at you with wide eyes. You immediately approach her. A relieved smile appears on your face as your searching is no longer needed, tossing out your arms. "Lita!"
Just as you call her name, two men protectively stand before her. The only one you knew was Matt, although the other guy had a striking resemblance to him. Siblings, perhaps?
Matt was the one that had enough gall to get in your face. "You've got a lot of nerve showin' up here," Matt started, waving his finger at you. The southern twang in his voice almost makes you giggle. It's so out there.
You do your best to cover it by looking sad instead. "Tell me something I don't know. Sorry, but losing was your fault, though." That's one thing you had to make clear. "Tell me, was it nice when Trish kissed you? Did you even try to push her away?"
You pucker your lips toward him and kiss the air as he huffs at you. Matt is frustrated at your taunt and clenches his fist. What you say is true; you and Lita had your own business. Whatever he did in the ring was his responsibility.
Didn't mean you could tease him so freely about it, though.
He's going to say something else to you, but Lita shakes her head, getting up from her seat and stepping in front of him instead. "No, Matt. Just leave it. It's okay." And then she looks at you directly. "You must be really brave to show up here after what you did, or maybe you're just stupid."
It's the second time you've heard that tonight..
"Never stupid." You'd like to get that straight now. "Only apologetic." And for her to even say that makes you sure about your decision. You're glad you beat her up on Raw.
"I thought attacking you would prove my allegiance to Shane. He ordered it. I did it, but I see how wrong it is and how fucked up WCW is. After thinking about what I did to you, I wanted to come to this show and make things right."
It seems like you're taking a breath when, in actuality, you're trying to get your lies together. "I was sad and idling the halls. I want WCW to crash and burn. I have my allegiance and want it to be with all of you." You make sure to say it loudly enough so others can hear you.
"Well, I don't think any of us trust you." Matt cut in. "Something's not right about you."
"Matt, give the woman a break." The other guy says. "She's tryin' to help us. She apologized for what she did. I'm sure we've made some mistakes, so we could try and give her some credit."
Whoever this guy was with brightly dyed purple hair, you're glad he stepped in. You make a mental note to remember his face if you never introduced himself to you.
No, you won't let that happen. The only person you extend your hand to is him, although your proper introduction is meant for all of them. "I think we should get off on the right foot now. I'm [Name]. I want to be on your side now."
Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Lita and Matt share some telepathic looks. All you did was introduce yourself to him!
He reaches out his hand. "Jeff."
Matt's the one who brings Jeff back to Earth, smacking his shoulder. It makes Jeff retract his hand before you can even take it. "The hell are you doin'?! We can't trust her!" It's a whispered shout that you're in clear range of hearing, not that Matt cared.
Jeff shrugs at him, then holds his hands up. "I thought…”
"Hardy meeting," He points toward the door, sounding as stern as they come. "Right now. Lita, you do what you need to do with her."
Jeff slunks over to the door, and Matt is just about to follow, but Lita gives him a parting kiss before he goes. She mutters, "I love you," but Matt's already storming off to deal with Jeff to even reply.
"So, you two are an item after all. It wasn't just jealousy." You comment. The urge to make another Trish jab was strong, but by divine intervention, you didn't say it.
"Yeah. A year, now." She confirms.
That information goes right into the filing cabinet. You give a half-smile to her. "All of you are friends then?"
It's a bit tense between you two, but Lita replies anyway, albeit strained. "Yeah, uh, we're a team. They're brothers. Matt's the oldest."
It makes sense. They looked similar, and Matt used that authoritative tone when telling Jeff to go outside.
Either way, you decide to jump straight to the chase. "I'm gonna take this chance to clear the air while it's just me and you. Lita, I was being honest when I said I wanted to take WCW out. I've gotten so close to Shane McMahon that it would be a shame for all of us to waste this opportunity. Even out of all this, I want a friendly rivalry from you at most."
Friendly, yes, that's what you wanted. It's not like you'll stiff her in the ring or anything.
"Like they always say, it's just business, you know? No hard feelings."
Lita takes a minute to think about it, turning her head away from you and then turning back. "You know what? Fine. No hard feelings. I'll give you another chance, [Name]. But if you screw up again, I can't guarantee that I won't fight you about it."
"That is totally fine. Trust me, I won't mess up again. I'll be there to help you when our goals align." Your professional tone was leaking out...
This is partly thanks to the many creative meetings and other ventures you've had at WCW. Reassurance and composure are two ways to worm your way inside a company. "Is the food any good here, by the way?"
And you can understand if Lita doesn't fully trust you. If you were in her position, you wouldn't trust yourself either.
Lita shrugs. "I mean, yeah. It's alright, I guess. You'd have to try it yourself." You still do think she believes you, despite her dry responses. It's just more progess you need to make.
"Oh my gosh, [Name], right?"
Lita groans and tosses her head up toward the ceiling. Whoever said your name, Lita wasn't happy to see them.
You turn your head over to see Trish. "Could I have a moment?" She clasps her hands together.
It's like Lita gives you the same look she gave Matt, trying to tell you something without using her words. It's difficult for you to understand, so she instead decides to leave you two be.
"Do whatever the hell you want. She's all yours." She'll probably join that Hardy meeting if they're still out there.
The both of you watch her go, and once she's out, Trish gives you her undivided attention. "Lita's always been...catty. I mean, she's been bullying me since my debut! How crueler can you get? I don't understand why she doesn't like me. And here I am, trying to let creative put us together in case we have to go against WCW. Not you now, of course."
"Stacy Keibler. Torrie Wilson." You offer up their names. "Only two they'll probably pit you against. They're all they have now."
On another note, you're trying to understand why Lita disliked Trish that much. Well, it's obvious why she didn't like you, but that's only because you did something to provoke her into it.
As you recall, Trish did end up kissing Matt. It all makes sense now, Lita looking pissed about it as she retaliated. They're an item! It's no wonder Lita wants her out.
You'll let Trish figure out that part by herself some time. "Guess you've gotta get to know her a little better. You're Trish, right?"
"That's me. I'm glad I caught you. I wanted to say thank you. Lita was gonna rough me up some more if you didn't step in when you did." Her fingers move a few strands of hair out of her face. "I feel like I owe you. What do you say to lunch next Wednesday?"
Lunch with Trish? Looks like you're already getting in good with these superstars! "Fine with me."
"I'm sorry about Shane McMahon, by the way." She adds. "We need all the help we can get, and you deserve this spot. Guess all McMahon's are pigs."
All? Like, all of them? Not Shane, at least. Shane's been nothing but pleasant and respectful to you. Unlike your previous boss, Eric Bischoff, who you were sure hated your guts with the way he treated you.
"Oh yeah, probably. I wouldn't be surprised. Even my old boss was a sleazeball." You mention.
You always thought he preferred Stacy to you when booked in certain segments. You and "Miss Hancock" were always set together when possible, but she was always going over most of the time.
At first, you had a time when you resented Stacy, putting a strain on your relationship for months. But you slowly came to terms with the fact that it was never her fault. It was management. You'd bring up your problems to Eric, and he'd dangle your contract over your head. He was quick to tell you that you didn't have to stay. Could head back right to your hotel.
That's something you don't miss.
"Then I guess we've both had some problems with our bosses, huh?" Trish mused. "It's not a very good thing, but it makes me feel better to know I'm not alone."
You're not sure what history she's had with Vince McMahon, but if she was comparing her situation to your own, then she's definitely seen some shit. You'll have to ask her about it over lunch.
Honestly, you're happy she was so sweet. Considering you saved her skin, it was fair, but hospitality goes a long way for you right now.
"Did you want to sit with me? I've got an extra seat right next to me." She uses both of her thumbs to point to her left.
"I don't see why not," You smile. Let me get something to eat first." You're already sauntering off towards the table of different foods as you hear her say, "I'll just be over here then."
You have no idea where to start. To distract yourself for only five seconds, you grab a plate. Then you're already back to square one. What do you want to eat?!
Fruit, muffins, salad, you name it, they've got it. Everything looks appealing, and it's damn near stressing you out.
You make a mental apology to Trish because you're definitely going to be here for quite a while.

Bones, Body, Soul.
A Jeff Hardy story. (Ch.4)
A dislocated knee.
One single injury from one single match and Lemmy's wrestling career was pushed to the side. It had happened so suddenly, the entire mood of the whole stadium changing so fast as the EMTs rushed out to help them, the Hardys and Steve Austin following shortly after. It had only been a small match meant to be around eight minutes tops, but more likely around five to make Luna look better like every other jobbing match. But instead, Luna had gotten a little too rough and thrown Lemm out of the ring at just the right angle, causing their left leg to bounce right into the metal ring steps. Unfortunately, because Vince is an asshole, he wouldn’t let their dad ride in the ambulance with them because he had a match in thirty minutes, so Jeff quickly hopped in before Matt could even think to do so, refusing to have Lemmy go by themselves. Not that Lemmy would’ve known anyways, they had blacked out the second their head bounced off the floor.
A bright light in Lemmy’s eye forced them into consciousness with a groan. They moved to put their hand up, trying to block the ringing sound in their ear but instead, Jeff grabbed it and held it in his own.
“What the hell’s going on?” Lemmy tried to look around as they croaked out the words, only able to see the bright, white metal of the painted ambulance ceiling.
“You got hurt Lemm, you’re in the ambulance. C’mon their tryna ask you stuff, gotta try to listen, alright?” Lemm only groaned again and tried to cover their ears again but finally responded to the EMT’s questions when Jeff only held their hand tighter.
“What’s happening? I can’t fucking feel anything Jeff, what’s going on?” Their voice tightened, eyes going glossy while they tried to find some sort of relief in Jeff’s presence.
“You’re alright, sweetheart. Hurt your leg, you’re gonna be alright, I’m right here. I’ve got you.” His hand that wasn’t holding theirs went up to hold their face. Jeff brushed the hair out of Lemmy’s face, just like they had done to him in their car rides, and plane rides, and waking up next to him and Matt on the couch of the Hardy house, and every other day since 1992.
“They're not gonna let me wrestle, are they?” The tears in Lemmy's eyes started pouring, a small sob leaving their mouth.
“Don’t worry about anything like that Lemm, you’re hurt.” Lemmy only started crying more. Jeff’s lips met their forehead in an attempt to give some sort of comfort along with the nonstop praises.
“They're not gonna let me wrestle, Jeff.” Lemmy started shaking their head under his hand. “What-what am I supposed to do? They won’t- they're not gonna…Jeff..” As more sobs continued bubbling out of Lemmy's throat, Jeff gave up on trying to stop it and used the hand that had been used to brush their hair back to rub their cheek with his thumb, trying to let Lemmy know he was there.
Tumblr media
Lemmy sat in the hospital bed staring blankly at the tv, the sound of Jeopardy filing the small room. They tried to watch what was left of Smackdown but Jeff- who had left, hoping to find a Dr.Pepper to try and make Lemmy feel better- thought it would just make them feel worse, so Jeopardy it was. The heavy metal door quickly swung open revealing their father who had clearly left the stadium right after his match.
“Hey, dad.” A sad smile set of their face as they looked up at their father with puffy eyes.
“Hey, Lemmy.” He took a seat in the chair Jeff left unhabited. “They figure out what happened on yet?”
“My kneecap popped out of place and moved a bunch of bones out of there places too. I guess a vein or something popped too, so its worse than what it normally is. Its still out of place they just pumped me full of pain killers.”
“Christ..should’ve known something was gonna happen to your knees with all the shit mine do. God, I’m sorry kid, I should’ve been paying attention.” His hand went up to his forehead as he spoke, quickly blaming himself.
“No! No, it’s not your fault. My knees have been hurting for a while, but so has every other part of my body, If anyone should’ve been paying attention it’s me. Plus you're always on the road and I barely see Uncle Scott 'cause I'm always at Matt and Jeffs, let alone you.” The door opened again, and Jeff with a Dr.Pepper in hand entered the room. He gave a quick smile and raised a hand in Steve's direction, handing Lemmy the bottle before sitting in the chair on the other side of Lemmy.
“Thanks, Jeffro. Hey, I think the doctors supposed to come back and tell me when i’m supposed to have surgery cause they hadn’t really figured that out yet. It could take awhile though, so like, you can go man, it’s fine.”
“I’m not going anywhere Lem, I’ve been here too long to give up now.” Jeff and Lemmy smiled at each other, Lemmy whispering a thank you. Steve stood up with a sigh.
“Well, I’m supposed to go let management know what happened so they can figure out whats going on with your debut. I’ll stop by later, call if you get out alright?”
“I will. See you dad.” He ruffled Lemmys hair as they spoke before making his way to the door.
“So, um, thanks for riding in the ambulance with me. Sorry about all of uh, that.” Lemmy fiddled with the thin bed sheet, embarrasment creeping through them. Jeff scooted farther up in his chair, grabbing their hand to get their attention.
“Dallas. You don’t have anything to be sorry about, you had no clue what was going on and found out the one thing you’ve been working for your entire life is being pushed back. It’s fine to be sad about that.”
“Ok, well I get being sad about it but I had a complete meltdown and cried all over you.”
“And I let you because I care about you and I love you. Stop being sorry and let people do nice things for you once in a while, alright?”
“..Fine, I guess.” Lemmy let out an exagurated sigh and an eye roll. Jeff softy hit their shoulder. Once again, the door opened. This time it was finally the doctor.
“Alright, I’ve been told that the nurse who was supposed to keep you notified on your situation had to help with something in the ER. So here I am. You were supposed to be in surgery two hours ago but we have a limited amount of surgens. Fortunately, one of them just left surgery and will be able to perform surgery on you immediately. If that isn’t something you’re ok with, you would have to wait until tommorow.”
“Oh..um, okay. Would I get to go home tonight if I went into surgery right now?”
“Yes, as long as you would have someone to drive you home and look after you for the night.” Lemmy put their hands up to their face with a loud sigh and rubbed their eyes before looking over at Jeff.
“Would you, um..would that be ok with you?”
“Of course it would be. You do what you’re comfortable with, I’m gonna be here no matter what.”
“Um, okay. Yeah, right now is fine.” Lemmy let the doctor know with a nod.
“Alright, I’ll let them know. A nurse should come in and give an IV soon.” The doctor quickly left, leaving Jeff and Lemmy alone again. The pair sat in silence, the voice of the Jepeorady host invading the quietness.
“Well, I guess I’m going into surgery now.” Lemmy looked over to Jeff, anxiety clear in their eyes. Jeff grabbed their hand for what seemed to be the umpteenth time.
“You’re gonna be alright, I promise. You’re gonna have surgery, and then you’re gonna go home with me and we’re gonna lay in bed all day and watch movies and play GTA. You don’t have anything to worry about, everything's gonna be fine.” Lemmy let out another sigh at Jeffs words, this time the anxiety leaving their body. They scooted down a little in the bed, moving their torso forwards to lean onto Jeff. Jeff’s hand left Lemmy’s as his arms moved to hold them, rubbing up and down. His head moved to sit on top of her chin.
“Thank you, Jeffro.” Lemmy whispered into his shoulder.
“Of course, sweetheart.” Jeff whispered back.
Tumblr media
Look at me go! Updating in a month instead of in four :) I’ve not the happiest with this but I really like the part in the ambulance. The ending is kinda super cute tho. @joeyfilth <3

Waking Up With Stone Cold
9:32 AM, the clock read. I was entangled in Steve’s arms (and leg), unable to move, really. His grip on me was tight, but he kept me warm. I tried to wriggle myself free from his grasp, but he ended up holding me tighter.
“Steve, let me go,” I said, trying to move. He finally let go, and I turned over, watching him open his eyes. He snuggled me closer, kissing my cheek and resting his hand on my waist.
“I don’t want to let you go.” He smiled, kissing my cheek again. I smiled back at him, putting my hand on his cheek.
After several minutes of laying there, he finally uncovers the both of us, picks me up, cradling me like a baby, and carries me to the bathroom, setting me down on the counter.
He takes my hairbrush and starts to comb out my hair for me, being gentle and making sure to get rid of any tangles. He enjoys playing with my hair any chance he gets.
He goes downstairs and makes breakfast for the two of us while I get ready to go grocery shopping.
After breakfast, Steve kisses me passionately before going to do his morning workouts and before I leave.
When I return with plenty of groceries, Steve comes outside as I pull in the driveway, ready to help carry in all the stuff I bought.

"Okay, here's my guess. As humans evolved, the first big problem we had to overcome was me vs. us; learning to sacrifice a little individual freedom for the benefit of a group. You know, like sharing food and resources so we don't starve or get eaten by tigers, things like that.
The next problem to overcome was us vs. them, trying to see other groups different from ours as equals. That one, we're still struggling with. It's why we have racism and nationalism and... why fans of Stone Cold Steve Austin hate fans of the Rock.
What's interesting about you is, I don't think you ever got past the me vs. us stage. I mean, have you ever been part of a group that you really cared about? The Brainy Bunch is basically the first group that became a part of your self identity and now that it's breaking up you're feeling this new kind of loss, and you're scared of going back to being alone. I mean, that's my guess. The other possible medical diagnosis is that you're just a bit of a dick."
More The Good Place posting because I think the show is underrated and none of the actually good parts have clips or gif sets cuz they aren't funny. For context this was Simone (a Black woman) speaking to Eleanor (the white woman main character).
This is a very good quote to remember, as we dismantle whiteness and you find yourself getting defensive about it. Although, this also applies to other communities and interests you've used to define yourself (like when you see criticism of The Thing you identify with as criticism of you.)
Remember this quote, for example, when you feel so strongly about a show that you want to donate money to keep it from being cancelled. Or when you find yourself unable to make a sacrifice to the 'me' like say your morning Starbucks for the 'us' that wants to limit human suffering.
Maybe you actually are afraid of the gang (white ppl) breaking up and all that implies. Maybe you are scared of being alone if there is no (white) community."
And building on previous convos we've had here; since being alone outside whiteness is something y'all have talked about extensively on my blog..
Defining yourself outside whiteness might literally feel like an attack on your self but it's not. You are you and you are a person whether you're white, mixed, or not at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Whether you want it to continue being the defining aspect of your personhood will show through your actions.
But it is time to move on.
Because whiteness tries to force it's beliefs onto you when you identify with whiteness -ignorance, individuality, superiority- and it shows through that "do it yourself/not my problem" attitude if not through blatant racism. It's up to y'all to reject that pre-set definition and define yourselves, now.
What are your values? Your principles? Your likes and hobbies and dislikes? Like in a world without racism or sexism or transphobia or taika waititi or Stan lee... Who are are you when stripped of bigotry and socially constructed identities, ykwim? Y'all gotta figure that out.
And you won't be alone in that endeavor and I really can't stress enough how much easier it would be to our shared goal of destroying racism and white supremacy if it wasn't an abandonment trigger that put white ppl into a literal identity crisis to imagine a world without those things.
Like at it's core that's what those feelings are and idk about y'all but it feels like a huge disservice to literally every person on earth to keep compromising on human rights because white supremacists made y'all scared to be outside whiteness where the rest of us are when you don't even like how it feels to be white anyway.
Have some solidarity. Give a little of 'me' for the 'us' so we All can have better.

Imagine it's WWF in late 1997/early 1998 and the greatest era in wrestling history is about to take off. They lose some of their biggest stars like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, and Diesel for various reasons but they still have a stacked card of wrestlers who are ready to take the torch. Instead of pulling the trigger and giving Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Mick Foley, and Triple H their chance to shine, WWF just decides "LETS BRING BACK THE HULKSTER"

ENDKING!STEVE
Chapter 13
Comfort
Chris pov:
?????: well, well, well....look who it is...
I heard a voice coming from one of the trees. It was the End King himself...I never expected for him to show up but now we're here, standing face to face. He jumped down from the tree branch and slowly approached us with no weapon in hand...that's what we thought...we had our swords and shields up and ready for his attack. But what we got was far unexpected...enderman started attacked us from behind leaving us wide open for the End King to eliminate us one by one. He whipped out his sword and dashed towards Austin who was still distracted by the enderman. Luckily I was there to save him in time. Our sword clashed the sound of lightning hitting the end floor as more enderman spawned...we fought our way through the wave of enderman in front of us, and successfully succeeded. Some of us were where heavily injured signaling that we need to get back to the overworld. All that was left of the battle was the purple blood, the lying corpse of the fallen enderman and the king himself. We stood there...waiting for some kind of signal...that's when...
Another gateway appeared not too far from here...a beam of purple light blasted through the endless night sky showing where the location of the gateway out of here...the king dashed towards me, our swords clashing. I threw him off in the side and getting a chance to hit him, but he blocked my attack with his sword...but luck was on my side as his sword broke into small pieces.
As the battle went on he was only using his claws for his defense because his sword was broken...I pushed him far into the forest to see a sword stuck in the stone...I was filled with determination as i was staring at the king waiting for his next movement another enderman tried to attack me from behind. The king swung his tail on my feet and made me drop down tot he floor giving him more time to take the trapped blade off of its sealed chains. When I took the enderman out it was too late he had successfully pulled out the sword from its slumber and dashed towards me in full speed. It was almost to nearly impossible to doge his attacks as he was teleporting left and right, this was a loosing battle. He bought down his sword to the ground with extreme strength, making a Crack heading towards me. I was frozen in fear, I couldn't move not even an inch. I looked up and see stars showing down fromtmhe sky...it was burning and yet painful sensation that came to me.
I was pinned down to the floor screaming in pain as he hovered over the air and sent a wave of burning flames towards me luckily Shaw was there just in time to rescue me. The trees being our best hiding place, we coward on top of the trees as the smoke started to dissappear....he was just standing there cold, bloody and surrounded with a terrifying aura, I looked at his crown directly at the eyes and well what came next was...horrifying. the eye on the crow moved and gazed at me with its terrifying glare.
As soon as the king teleported away from from scene we got down from the tree and headed towards Austin, the we ventured forward heading more deeper into the forest seeing the gateway towards home...
We got out of the end and used Shaws truck to bet back home safely...I was in my lab covering the wounds I got from the battle...I felt the same aura again but...it was a little more different from before...it was more...terrifying, I turned around seeing a shadowy figure with a black(a little blu-ish) skin and blue eyes and straight horns, just staring at me in the distance...I got closer to the figure but once I got too close he figured disappeared into thin air...I shook my head as I thought I was just imagining things and got back from bandaging my chest and my arms.
I went upstairs towards my room passing Steve's old room where he used to sleep in...I missed him...I went into his room and checked his closet...all that was there were his clothes and his cape he always wore...I got into my room and curled my fist around the red cloth as I sobbed and cried on to it...a few minutes passed and I wiped my tears away and putting he clothe right beside me. I heard a nock on the door ad Shaw slowly went in my room (hehehe) hs sat down beside me and handed me Steve's cape.
Shaw:kid...you've been acting a little weird lately...what wrong?
He asks as he puts his hand on my shoulder, I was still crying at this point feeling guilt crawling up my spine
Chris: i-its nothing...really..
I say with stuttering words
Shaw: kid seriously...what wrong?
He asked again...
Chris:...it just...I miss him....
I tugged the cloth and curled my first even tighter, letting a tear slide down my face
Shaw:...(sigh)...Chris...
He says with sorrow and worry...I closed my eyes and I started crying. Then...I felt arms wrapped around me...it was Shaw!
Shaw:it's ok kid...we all do...let's just hope he's ok...alright?
He says as I nodded my head and hugged back
???pov:
I stared at the 2 men comforting each other...so this is what I'm dealing with...
???:how pitiful...looks like I have a new job to do...
I say with a grin slowly forming
End of chapter 13
First chapter/previous/next
Yipeeeee!
Sort of father and son bonding time I guess???
I belive in dadsa supremacy and dadshaw supremacy fuck me up if you dare. And new checkpoint villain just dropped and will now be appearing in the next(maybe not sure) chapter

Who is the new member of Anoa'i that can make his debut in WWE?
The Anoa’i family has undoubtedly been the most dominant wrestling family in the history of the sport If a family has members like, The Rock, Yokozuna, Rikishi, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, Afa, Sika, Umaga, one can imagine just the passion that flows in the family.
To add to the list of Samoan Superstars, Rikishi recently posted a photo of his fourth son introducing him to the pro-wrestling audience, Solo and the Usos’ brother Jeremiah who goes by the nameofThamikoT. Fatu was introduced by his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi on Instagram recently with the caption,
"Another one. Get ready #thamikotuuhetokafatu #Tokollso THAMI KO T. FATU #FatuLegacy for bookings contact link in bio.. tows
The list of accolades by the Anoa’i family are too many to list dating back to the 80s when High Cheif Peter Maivia, Afa and Sika (The Wild Samoans) were the big players in the game. The family name was then carried further by the likes of WWE Hall of Famers, Yokozuna and Rikishi who ruled the 90s along with arguably the biggest drawer in the pro-wrestling business, Dwayne 'The Rock’ Johnson.
Tumblr media
Umaga was portrayed as a dominant Somoan bulldozer in the late 2000s who unfortunately passed away before he could reach his fullest potential in WWE. The 2010s saw the rise of the next generation of the Anoa’i family to dominate the tag division of WWE for almost a decade in the form of Jey and Jimmy Usos.
They are currently one of the best tag-team in the sport. 2022 saw the call-up of their younger brother Solo Sikoa to the main roster from NXT, who has been a wrecking force for the Bloodline since his debut in September last year.
Apart from them, the biggest star that the WWE got from this family is the current reigning defending undisputed Universal WWE Champion Roman Reigns. His title reign is set to complete 1000 days which has not been seen in the past 40 years of the championship. It is not at all surprising how successful most of the members from the family have been looking at the level of effort they put into their work.
Yokozuna was known for his skills in the ring despite being over 500 pounds, unfortunately, passed away in 2000 at a very young age. He is still looked upon by all his peers as a great professional wrestler.
Dwayne 'The Rock’ Johnson became one of the top-grossing actors in Hollywood after ruling the most successful era in pro-wrestling along with the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, The Undertaker, Mankind and fellow Samoan Rikishi. Apart from the success in WWE, Rikishi also had brief runs in other promotions such as TNA in the early 2000s.
Looking at the rich history of this family, it won’t be surprising to see Thamiko in WWE and put on a dominant performance just like his brothers and other family members.

REVIEW | "AEW: Fight Forever" | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade
Tumblr media
Growing up, I loved pro wrestling. The likes of Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Ted DiBiase, and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin seemed larger than life when I witnessed their matches. I’ve been on-again and off-again when it comes to watching pro wrestling, with my time seemingly ending in 2002 after watching Shawn Michaels defeat Triple H at Summerslam. But in 2019, a new dog entered the junkyard, in the form of All Elite Wrestling. Once again, I was hooked thanks to the athletic prowess of Darby Allin, Orange Cassidy, and — yes — Danhausen.
Which leads me to AEW: Fight Forever, the wrestling organization’s first official foray into the video games market. Developed by Yuke’s, the game was to be a spiritual successor to — in my opinion — the best sports game on the Nintendo 64: WWF No Mercy. As I booted it up and began to play it, I felt like I was 15 again, opening up cans of whoop-ass and collecting wins like I was a true champion. However, even with my nostalgia goggles tightly on, I couldn’t help but recognize the wrinkles that AEW: Fight Forever needs to iron out.
Tumblr media
Like the Nintendo 64 era of THQ wrestling titles, the game features a good dose of content. On top of featuring over fifty wrestlers to choose from, AEW: Fight Forever features a plethora of modes to sink your teeth into. From your run-of-the-mills singles and tag team matches to the likes of Casino Battle Royales, there are many ways to experience what All Elite Wrestling is all about. There’s even a couple of their trademark styles, such as Unsanctioned Lights Out and the Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatches, the latter of which has more pyro than your average Rammstein concert. (You can even initiate the lame sparkler pyro that occurred when Kenny Omega faced Jon Moxley, which shows the sense of humor AEW has.)
Controlling a fight is a lot easier than I imagined; in fact, there were times my Xbox Series X controller almost felt as smooth as using the Nintendo 64 one. Grappling, climbing turnbuckles, and initiating submissions felt natural in my hands, thanks in part to an excellent tutorial featured in the game. With that being said, getting a hold of a weapon is a lot trickier, and not because referee Aubrey Edwards was keeping an eye on me. Nay, standing near the ring to grab a weapon sometimes makes my wrestler go back into the ring, rather than get hold of a kendo stick or a bag of tacks.

Bones, Body, Soul.
A Jeff Hardy Story. (Ch.1)
Lemmy didn’t have a very hard time getting along with people backstage. Unless it was one of the lights people that was still mad at them for tripping over a wire and unplugging it right before they went live. Sorry, Jake. Most enjoyed seeing the familiar face of the teenager, who was now training to be a wrestler alongside their father as soon as they turned the legal age.
Vince had found the boys through a small wrestling federation they owned themselves, where Jeff had been lying about his age to wrestle with his older brother and signed them to a trainer with WWF after seeing their potential. Come to fine out, Lemmy had been working under the boys’ company as well and quickly signed them to the same trainer. As soon as both the boys were of age, they would be on the roster, along with Lemmy.
The Hardy's and Lemmy clearly got along, a huge connection between them from all of their time together in OMEGA. All of their training sessions were together all the time, the three seemed to have much more energy and will when they were together. Although Matt and Lemmy were great friends, it was clear that Jeff and Lemmy were attached at the hip and it was obvious as to why.
They had the same taste in music, clothes, humor, and were both a little dumb but made up for it in creativity and passion. They each even had a sweet southern drawl, Lemmy’s much heavier from their years in Texas, but Matt’s seemed to be fading slightly somehow. If you saw one, you saw the other. Lemmy had been taking Jeff and Matt backstage to watch their father and plently of other wrestling matches at shows that were nearby, but Matt had to take up a night shift so it was just Jeff, who only worked during the days thanks to his landscaping skills. As of now, Lemmy was dragging him by his hand as they ran through the hall in search of an empty locker room with a TV to watch the matches. Sometimes they were allowed to go out in the crowd, but the arena was sold out.
"So help me God, Dallas Austin, what'd I tell you about the goddamn running!" The rough voice of Steve Austin echoed through the cold concrete halls of the arena. The pair slowed to a quick walk as Lemmy yelled back an apology.
"Why the hell'd he call you Dallas, Lem?"
"That's my name dumbass! Lemmy's a nickname." Jeff came to a halt as they explained.
"You just didn't think to tell me that? Ever?" He asked with big eyes and a dramatic tone, dyed and frayed hair coming to drape over his shoulders.
"Well, I knew it'd come up sometime. Doesn't matter much anyways." After a shrug from Lemmy, they grabbed his arm again and kept walking. "Did you really think my name was Lemmy?"
"Why would I not, you told me that's what your name was! Hows that even a nickname anyways? It's your middle name or somethin'?"
"Don't have a middle name. Dad thought it messed up my name cause it's two cities in Texas and he wanted it to be Houston but it sounded weird- Dallas Houston Austin. He likes Motorhead and apparently, I'm a hell raiser. Y'know, the song?"
"What's that have to do with anything?"
"Lemmy Kilmister dude! He's the founder, singer, and bassist of the whole thing, he's real cool. C'mon, hurry up, I wanna watch dad take a Sweet Chin Music."
Tumblr media
After watching a few matches in the empty locker room that you could somehow still smell the stench of B.O. in, Jeff and Lemmy were off once again. They decided to walk this time so it took a little bit more time to get back to the gorilla.
"Hey, Shawn!" Lemmy yelled from halfway down the hall, gaining lots of unwanted attention along with Shawn's.
"What's goin' on kid, lookin' for Steve?" The man looked over at her, a childlike grin planted on his face as they jogged over to him with Jeff short on their tail.
Again, a lot people enjoyed having Lemmy backstage but one of the first people they were able to befriend was HBK. Vince had taken a liking to the young kid the second they entered the backstage of one of they many WWF arenas and thought it would be funny to get them to do commentary for a few matches. A few matches turned into one after they called Shawn a pussy (their father thought it was hilarious but had to explain to Shawn that Lemmy didn't actually think that, they just really liked the Undertaker.)
"Nah, lookin' for you. Just wanted to say you looked real cool kickin' my dad's ass." The explanation coughed up a laugh from Shawn and a few others. "Would you mind letting him know that me and Jeff are gonna head home, though? I'm gonna sleep over at his so then we can all just head to training together.” Quick to try and deter from what they wanted, Lemmy started bombarding Shawn with questions about the nearest payphone and how they had to tell their uncle that they wouldn’t be home, only to be interrupted.
"Just cause I like you doesn't mean I'll lie for you, Lem."
"Oh, come on! We just wanted an ice cream, it won't take long! I'll buy you one if that's what it takes." While Lemmy tried to bribe him, Jeff groaned.
"You two have training bright and early, and if I tell Steve you're going home, it won't be a lie. I don't care who's house you go to as long as you get there in the next twenty minutes."
Finally giving up on convincing the man, Lemmy backs up and grabs Jeff's hand again and they went on their way. As they continued to walk towards the door in defeat, Lemmy shouted over their shoulder at Shawn, "I take it back! You looked terrible kickin’ my dad's ass!" just in time for Steve Austin to walk back from the locker room after getting ready for a segment.
"The hell're they talkin' about?"
"Who knows, man. Lemm seems to get along with those Hardy Boyz pretty good though, huh?” They both watched as Lemmy and Jeff made their way down the hall, quite literally attached at the hip, with each an arm around the others shoulder and feet swaying as the tried to keep in pace with one another, loud laughter echoing each time one of them stumbles, already over their icecream escapades.
“Yeah. Yeah, ‘specially that Jeff kid, he’s real good to ‘em from what i’ve seen. They’re good kids, glad Lemm’s finally got someone.”

Val Venis x Fem Reader- "Pearl Jam"
The World Wrestling Federation's Attitude era was an era filled with controversy, but you were arguably the most controversial star from that era, and you were a woman.
Granted, there were things in the Attitude era worse than you, but you were a female who sometimes made Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock look downright wholesome in comparison.
The Attitude era might've been rated TV-14, but because of you, the Attitude era was nearly rated TV-MA.
The Attitude era could've even almost aired on HBO (which aired movies and TV shows with uncensored nudity and profanity) instead of the USA Network and UPN because of you, damn, imagine if that happened.
Because you were so infamous for your controversy in the Attitude era, during the late 1990's, you cut this promo where you looked at the camera with a smirk on your face and mentioned how a lot of pearl clutchers don't like you as well as the World Wrestling Federation.
A pearl clutcher is by definition, a prudish person who is easily offended by something they deem vulgar or offensive.
Yeah, no doubt there were lots of pearl clutchers upset over the Attitude era---especially the Parents Television Council---who eventually would be parodied in the WWF as Right to Censor---a group of prudes protesting and censoring vulgar, obscene content in the World Wrestling Federation.
After stating how pearl clutchers don't like you, Val Venis appeared behind your back, where with his signature grin on his face, one of his hands reached out and placed at your vulva--specifically where your clitoris is, and his hand squeezed where your clit is.
His hand squeezed your clit that was covered by your pants, and you were fully clothed during this promo.
His index and middle fingers pinched and squeezed where your clitoris is, your clit sandwiched in between the tips of his fingers.
"But there's some pearl clutchers out there who do like me" you added with a grin on your face, saying that smugly and smoothly while Val squeezed your clit.
A slang term for a clitoris is a pearl, even back in the 90's "pearl" was slang for a clitoris.
The camera zoomed in on Val's hand squeezing your crotch.
Soon, the camera didn't film you and Val, but instead cut to a black background with the World Wrestling Federation's white scratch logo as its known and the words "Attitude" under that logo.
You want so many sexy male wrestlers to squeeze your clitoris in this promo, like Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy, Christian Cage, and Hunter Hearst Helmsley/D Generation X era Triple H (and other wrestlers not in the WWF), but it would be impossible for that many wrestlers to have one of their hands grab your clit.
Plus, Val Venis is easily the most sexual out of all of these men, so it made sense.
Ironically enough, Val Venis eventually did become a pearl clutcher who joined Right to Censor, and you nearly were a member of Right to Censor, but you refused to join and never did join that group.
You even called Right to Censor out on their bullshit and said how Val Venis not too long ago was a porn star and the Godfather was a pimp (he, too, was a member of RTC), and you got the biggest pop from wrestling fans you had ever gotten.
During this promo where Val Venis squeezes your clitoris, he could've easily slipped his hand under your pants and squeezed your clit.

This is the only point where he speaks up. And actually, thinking about it... this makes sense. Think about Spider-Man's career. He starts in show business. Then he doesn't stop a robber because it doesn't get him anything, who goes on to kill someone, then he goes vigilante and captures that one guy, and returns to show business.
That looks a lot like a publicity stunt, in a way. Imagine if you heard that Stone Cold Steve Austin had gone into a warehouse, beaten up a criminal hiding in there, and then was doing a bunch of shows. You wouldn't think "wow he cares a lot about law and order."
I remember that at the end of this comic, JJJ thinks Spider-Man sabotaged the launch in order to save it for publicity, and that makes sense too! After that first stuff, the Bugle prints a bunch of hate on him, and then suddenly the owner's son (who was in a big important newsworthy event) is in danger and oh look here comes Spider-Man to save him! Don't you feel bad for giving him that bad press? Don't you want to tell everyone how great he is?
It's all just a little too convenient, and exactly what an awful, swindling Spider-Man would do.
That's another evil Spider-Man idea, who actually does fight crime as a stunt for his shows, and broke the rocket to save John Jameson as a PR stunt. Obviously in that universe JJJ would praise him to high heaven.
