Chapter 16: A Moment That Shocked The World 1
<31 August, LWC Wrestling Center, Longham City>
An hour before <Break Out>...
In the backstage area, Dacey Surestone sat in the locker room ruminating over the past two weeks of her life. When she was called into the meeting for the entire women’s division with Rob, she never imagined her life would change this drastically.
For the past two weeks, she had been training like hell.
It wasn’t anything to do with wrestling inside the ring. No, her wrestling skills were good enough to earn her a spot in a championship match. The only thing that prevented it was her lack of experience in the business.
She was relatively new in the circle and hadn’t had any big matches in over a year. Her position on the card was around the mid-card level and she didn’t have a large fan base to about as well.
So, despite her skills inside the ring, her position didn’t allow her to get a title shot easily. Even if she was granted one, it would be a one-off occurrence in a TV match that she would lose.
No, this training was a bit unorthodox when it comes to wrestling. This was a brainchild of Rob, the new booker who has been turning heads in the past two weeks in LWC.
It was a combination of various extra skillsets that Rob believed one should have to be a true top star in the business. Yes, it was a star, not a wrestler. According to Rob, any wrestler could become a star, but not all stars need to be a wrestler.
It was really convoluting, to be honest. But, when he had patiently explained to her what it was all about, she began to see the sense in it. In short, a star was someone who could bring fans into the arena.
And today, her journey to starhood begins.
This made Dacey very nervous. A few hours from now, she had been given a great opportunity to change the very way wrestling was going to be presented in the future.
