I was kinda nervous. Why should I be? I'm not hired yet. I don't even know if I wanna work here. I got this contract in the mail so I guess I might as well check it out right?
This "Amanda Wallace" was nice over the phone.
I knocked on the door I was led to. People were polite to me. It felt weird.
All I did now was take a few hard gulps and waited anxiously to meet her.

Throughout the day, it was going through, reading through contracts, putting the final stamps of approval over them, shaking up the roster, and just, frankly being buried in paperwork. Thank god that final appointment was knocking right now... she could go to enjoy a Chicago evening... something that she was long overdue to do.
"Come in!" She shouted towards the door, finishing her last piece of paper work with a signature before sliding it into its manilla folder for the secretary to pick up later... |

Open and Close. I smile at her as I make my appearance. She was a cute one but picking up another number was not the reason I was here. I was curious.Hows it going ma'am? I say to her in the most polite way I possibly can and of course I had to make sure the tone was as professional as it can get. I took a seat in front of her desk. I notice I wasn't the only one she spoke to about this new job.

"Not too bad, sir... I'm actually quite excited for the future of GCW with recent news... althogh it's sad that it had to happen this way.
How about yourself... how have you been holding up the past few weeks?"
Amanda crosses her legs, leaning back, looking at the huge man in front of her. Oh, what a good roster addition he would be... |

Its been tough. Its been tough. I had to deal with it like everyone else. I think it hurt me the most.I have to say- This place is amazing but I don't know if I want to continue. My heart didn't feel right after I lost my job. It was all that I had.Wrestling that is.. |

"It takes a lot of soul searching... I just had another new signee that showed up at Ascension last week, looking for work. She didn't know if she wanted to keep going on, since she felt like her home just burnt down in front of her eyes.
But, deep down, after some looking around, she knew that she was a wrestler, and it made her into who she was today. She's signed on the dotted line and already been placed on the MayheM roster... a girl by the name of Claire Arlett."
Also one of the folders that was sitting on Amanda's desk...
"I can't make the decision for you... but, I'm sure if you look deep down, you can find the decision that's right for yourself... hell, it'd be right for all parties. We look for wrestlers that want to be here, that love what they're doing, and are going to give 100%. You strike me as just the type. The only question is, how do you strike yourself?" |

Claire?She had a point. It was on me. Do I wanna keep fighting? Is this what I wanna do? I took a deep breath. Just thinking about my past was hard. I was never the one to drop a tear but this was something I was weak to.
I put the brown folder I had with me on the desk in front of me. I took out the contract. I skimmed around the pages.I read it at home, With lawyers, With friends. I don't see a problem with it. I just..
I let out a small laugh.I don't know Miss. Have you seen any of my fights? [/color]

She laughs. "I managed to catch the last pay per view once I heard the news, yes. Normally I'm buried under a ton of paperwork renting arenas and such... but for something like this, I made sure that I caught it. You're a beast." |

I love to hear complements. Thank you. I say letting out a small sigh. Fighting before wasn't a task since I knew what to expect but now I'm in a whole new jungle. What's gonna happen next?
I just stared at the contract before me. Something inside of me wanted to sign it. There was always something that told me not to as well.
Ms.Wallace.. This was the only thing in my mind for the past few weeks. Ever since you sent me this contract. That's all I was thinking about.
I still don't know what I want to do. This is probably the most hardest decision I have had to make.
I shook my head. Side to side. Let out another laugh.Bare with me here

I hardly met people that had patience. Actually I think it's one of the few things majority of the people today lack, no?
This was hard because I felt if I signed this I would be backstabbing someone but who? My past is over. I am currently unemployed with out any sorts of college education.
Though I should say money is actually no longer an issue. It's just a matter of what my heart wants to do. I'll tell you one thing. It doesn't wanna retire thats for sure.Ms.Wallace, I have a proposal.. That is if your willing to hear it. I know I'm probably the least of your worries.

A nervous smile came to my face.Well would it be possible for me to sign a one day contract? You know pretty much everything that is stated on this contract but for one day and of course the pay? One Dollar should work for a day. It was a joke.. $1 I laughed at it..I want a match, Just one match for what ever show I can fight on. I was serious about that one though.You choose the opponent. I only want one match. Its something I think I need to do.
My desire to fight was still there.. sorta.. After I lost my job that kinda went away for a while but when I stepped foot here it kinda came back. All I wanna do is see if my heart still works when I step foot in a new ring.

"Alright... but how about you find the opponent, and get yourself into the mix of mic work as well... since, well, we know that you know that it all is part of the job, right? Someone is bound to have an open challenge, and, if they don't? We'll find you someone, or throw you in a probable battle royale that will probably show up." |

Any chance you can make an exception? The mic is one my best quality's. I don't think you should worry about that too much. Its just I don't wanna establish something in the ring right now. I just wanna compete. For all I know after that match I might not have it no more.
I was feeling a bit upset.Look.. Ms.Wallace, I don't know if you understand exactly how I felt for the past few weeks. When I say it was all I had.. I meant it. It was all I had. I don't have real family members. That place became my home the people I worked with became my family. I was there for years.. It was my first job getting a unbelievable pay check. Not only did I get a chance to pay for my needs I was able to get anything I want. It was perfect.. I smiled. It was indeed perfect.They set me up Ms.Wallace, They set me up for life. I am for what it's worth happy to say that I am a wealthy individual. I look into her eyes.Ms.Wallace may you please get me a match on my behalf? It is all I'm asking for. If I can find that same soul I had before I can guarantee you I'm coming back but if I realize that I just don't have the same fire that would usually burn inside me in the mist of battle then there is no point of me sticking around.
I'm not even saying I need to win to make a decision. I just wanna get my hands dirty.
Please ma'am..
My heart was beating a bit faster. |
