had been about an hour since Massacre went off the air, but I still
felt great. Even though I didn't have a match tonight, it was just
thrilling to be back in the XWF as myself. Everything was going my way
for once. I got my tag match next week like I wanted, I got Keith as my
partner, like I wanted, and now I had just found out that I was getting
a chance at the XWF Tag Titles. All I had to do was convince Keith he
could trust me, and then run through those other teams next week on
Massacre. Beating Armageddon X and Hellfire X wasn't a concern, and
Krazzy Kid didn't even warrant my attention. The only problem I faced,
was getting Keith to trust me enough that we could work together in
this match.
It was amazing, I was in such a good mood tonight, that I am just now entering the locker room to get cleaned up. I signed autographs, I took photos with the fans. These were things I had never been famous for, but tonight, I just couldn't help it. I was happy. For the first time in years, I felt like I was at peace. All my problems had faded away, and all I could think about was the fact that soon, I would be one half of the Tag team champions. I knew I shouldn't be thinking this way. I sat down in front of my locker, and begin going through my bag. I pulled out a towel, and continued thinking about nothing but my shot at the Tag Titles. I mean, yeah, I have a shot, but I can't be thinking ahead. I can't look past next Monday, and I can't look past the champs. I have allot of work ahead of me, but the fact still remains, I have a chance. I pulled my towel, and a bottle of Lever 2000 liquid soap from my bag, and tucked the bag safely back into my locker. As I began unlacing my boots, I continued thinking. How can I get Keith to trust me? Is he even willing to give me a chance? Sure, to allot of people, a chance at gold is enough to put anything behind them, but I knew more about Keith then anyone else, and I knew that no matter what, his basic instinct remained... Don't trust anyone. Especially if that anyone was tagging with him a week before, and ended up fighting with him, his own partner during the match. I finished getting undressed, and tucked my things neatly into my locker. I then proceeded towards the shower room. I was in no hurry, I had to be in there for at least an hour. Finally, I turned off the water, and wrapped the towel around my waist. On the way out I looked in the mirror, just to make sure there was no makeup left on my face. After deciding that I was indeed clean, and makeup free, I headed back to my locker, and to my surprise, there was an old friend waiting for me. One of my best friends, hell maybe my only friend, and former manager back in my Net World Order days. Terry Blackstone. Micheal Graves Well, if it isn't Mr. Blackstone... Terry just smirked at me, I didn't know why he was here yet, but I must admit I was happy to see a familiar face. Terry Blackstone Hello Micheal. Micheal Graves so Terry, what brings you here? were you wanting to meet one of the next Tag Champs? Terry Blackstone Yeah, I heard about that, way to go. But remember, your not there yet, you still have to win next week to get the shot. Micheal Graves Yeah I know, but come on, don't tell me your doubting me already? Terry Blackstone No, I know you can do it, if you put your mind to it, but what about this Keith Sharpe your teaming with, is he capable of helping you win this? Micheal Graves He's more then capable, trust me. Terry Blackstone So I take it you know him already? Micheal Graves You could say that, plus we've teamed already. Last weeks Massacre, while I was still Chalupa. Terry Blackstone Yeah... sadly I heard about that mess too. How in Gods name did you let yourself get suckered into that one? Micheal Graves Jon got the best of me with my contract, but I've worked it out... As you can see, I'm not Chalupa anymore. By the way, not that I'm not happy to see you or anything, but why are you here? I know you better then to think you would just show up to wish me good luck, and talk about old times. Terry Blackstone Your right, I'm not here to talk about the old days. I'm here to talk about the future. Micheal Graves What do you mean? Terry Blackstone I'm talking about being your manager again. Guiding your career, helping you reach the top again. Micheal Graves And who said I needed help reaching the top? Terry Blackstone Let's just say this, had I been with you when you resigned with the XWF, there never would have been a Chalupa. He had me there. When it came to the business side of this gig, I was as smart as a lump of coal. In the ring, I could do almost anything, but in an office setting, signing contracts and things of that sort, I wasn't worth a damn. Micheal Graves Ok, I'll tell you what, let me get dressed, and we will head out to get something to eat, and talk about this a little more. Terry Blackstone So your going to give it some thought? Micheal Graves Yes, we'll discuss it. With that Terry just smiled, and walked out of the dressing room. I pulled my bag back out of my locker, and began getting dressed. I didn't want to seem to eager, but having Terry on my side was going to be a good thing. ![]() |
