Booking Glory

Rob breathed a sigh of relief as he heard Dacey speak in the microphone. This segment was saved in the neck of time. If Dacey’s lackluster performance had continued any longer, there could be nothing to be done about it.

Even the commentators with all their years of experience could not do much if Dacey failed to perform. There was only so much that commentators could do to carry the segment. The task of performance solely fell on the shoulders of Dacey.

And if she didn’t perform, no amount of actions from others could save it.

Luckily, Dacey had enough presence of mind to catch the lifeline that was thrown. No matter what happened from here on, the segment was at least saved. He would train Dacey next week to rectify the mistakes both he and she made this week.

Even if Dacey fumbled, all was not truly lost!

Dacey felt as if her mind rebooted the moment she started hearing the entire crowd chant <Why Dacey Why!?>. She felt as if she was able to breathe again. She thanked her lucky stars for this lifeline and decided to roll with it.

When she had prepared the promo in her mind, she had a whole spiel of things she wanted to say in the ring. Rob had given her the basic outline of the story and had wanted her to work based on that.

So, she had been preparing for it for a long while.

However, now everything was out the window. She had frozen the moment she stepped into the ring. And whatever she had prepared to say felt inappropriate at this time. Not to mention that her mind was not still working well.

So, she decided to use the words the crowd chanted as her opening line. That lone moment of spontaneous decision-making saved Dacey’s career. While she might not understand the significance at this moment, she would one day look back and tell people that this was the moment her career truly changed.

"You wanna know why?" Dacey asked in the microphone and magically enough the crowd quieted to hear her answer.
