HWA Message Board: Business Matters

The days past Havoc had been hectic, and Wisdom had engulfed herself in work since coming back to the office. We find her now finishing a conversation with Red Dragon at headquarters. Despite the events of Havoc, or perhaps in spite of them…things were taking shape.

(Wisdom): …..I really hated to impose upon you again Matthew, but you were the only one who could have made this happen. I know it was supposed to be one night, but…

(Red Dragon): Say no more, I’m glad to be of service.

She nods with gratitude and hands him an envelope.

(Wisdom): Here’s her copy of the signed contract, I don’t know what you said but she signed right away. It’s an open agreement, she can leave when she wants or stay as long as she wants. We’re matching her Stardom rate with a signing bonus, and paying them a commission on top of that. We’ll sort out an interpreter for her by Havoc as well, that shouldn’t be thrust on you, you’ve done enough. Thank you!

She manages a small smile to their friend and Red Dragon bows and leaves the room. Not ten minutes later there is a knock at the door. It was open and there in the doorway stood Michelle in her training gear, sweaty from her workout.

(Michelle): Ms. Parker? You wanted to see me?

The passion in Wisdom’s eyes had not diminished since Havoc. She remained in a no nonsense, all business mood and motioned for Michelle to enter.

(Wisdom): Michelle, we have a match for you at Havoc.

She was about to sit down, but immediately paused. There was a bit of apprehension in her eyes. Not only didn’t she feel quite ready, but there were no other active women on the roster, other than…no…not Erica. She wouldn’t, she’d quit…she wasn’t ready for that. He hand went directly to her face absentmindedly where she’d been struck repeatedly.

(Michelle): Oh, I…

(Wisdom): Starlight Kid accepted an offer we made to keep her on the roster a bit longer, we’ve worked the details out with Stardom.

(Michelle): I see! She seems nice, but I was just wondering…

Admittedly, Wisdom was still a little frustrated with Michelle. She liked her a lot, but right now her very best qualities were also her biggest weakness.

(Wisdom): You had time off to recover Michelle, and you’ve been cleared to compete for a few weeks. It’s time you get back in the game. Weren’t you just in my office a week ago concerned about the women’s division?

(Michelle): Yes, but…

(Wisdom): Well, we’ve done our part. It’s time you get ready to do yours, I know you can.

(Michelle): Yes, of course….thank you.

Michelle leaves the room and an assistant enters right after handing her a FedEx envelope.

(Wisdom): Excellent, thank you!

Wisdom opens the envelope with enthusiasm and nods, looking up to the assistance removing a thumb drive and handing it to her as she looks over the signed contract enclosed.

(Wisdom): Get this over to the web developers, tell them to run it right away.

(Assistant): Yes, Ms. Parker.

Wisdom grabbed the phone and called Butch, it rang and he answered almost immediately.

(Wisdom): Travis Levitt’s in babe, done deal……..yep, just came in……………we’re running it now……………yeah she did, I hope I wasn’t too hard on her but she needs the push, she can’t sit on the sidelines forever…………I know, and Sean won’t let her, you know that, she’ll be fine……….love you too…….okay……..bye!

Starlight Kid, and Travis Levitt were signed sealed and delivered. Havoc was going to be a big show and by all accounts throughout social media and the media in general the excitement was building. There was just one more thing to plan out. The phone rang and it seemed that, that one thing was just about to fall into place. She grabbed the phone after glancing at the caller I.D.

(Wisdom): Right on time champ, let’s discuss Road to Ruin.

Wisdom gets up and closes the door, and sits down to chat with the HWA World Champion Stu-E Price as the scene fades to black.
