It’s LaLa Time!
001: Laughing Stock
001: Laughing Stock
🕘 Big ass corporate building? Shit load of employees running around? Every single one of them looking absolutely terrified? Yep, I’m definitely in one of my cousin’s multiple office buildings. At least the shaky receptionist can easily lead me to the biggest pair of office doors I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Definitely to intimidate her workers…definitely a Zelda Lavoie thing to do. With a light sigh I push open the door and step inside. 🕒
“Hey cuz!”
“What do you want Layla?”
🕘 Damn, even I felt a bit of a chill from Zelda’s words. Strange though, considering how successful she is I always imagined her office to be more…grandiose. It doesn’t look much different from the average office. Maybe this isn’t one of her main bases? 🕒
“Nothing much. I wanna let you know that I managed to get signed up by WCW!”
“Didn't they like die over twenty years ago?”
🕘 At least look away at whatever you’re typing on your computer screen when you’re trying to devalue my good news… 🕒
“But now they’re back, with new owners that genuinely want to kick ass, and not only am I their official first signing but I’m also being put into this tournament to crown their first World Champion. So you see cuz, by the end end of this month, I’m going to be the top Champ.”
🕘 My proudly declared words seem to have finally gotten Zelda to move her attention away from her screen. 🕒
“And?”
🕘 I will admit that I was rather dumbfounded at the simply put…bored way my cousin said that. She found success in wrestling as a manager…so why shouldn’t she be at least somewhat excited about me becoming a wrestler? 🕒
“You were a stuntwoman getting decently paid to get yourself hurt and now you’re basically a glorified parody of yourself that’ll get either ridiculed or lusted over by spotfaced nerds who don’t know what it is like to actually talk to a real girl. At least with your stunt work you get paid consistently well and even a little respect among your peers…you go to this WCW and not only will you fall down on your face but you’ll also become a laughing stock.”
“A laughing stock?”
🕘 I slam my hands down on my cousin’s desk. 🕒
“I will never be a laughing stock. You always say that us Lavoie should always aim for the top and never settle for anything less. And that is what I am going to do…hell I want you to tune into WCW Nitro where I’ll not only make my professional wrestling debut but also defeat Mantaur to begin my path to the WCW World Championship.”
🕘 The fact that Zelda always wear those damn sunglasses is further pissing me off, since I can’t tell if she is actually looking into my eyes or not as I further growl out. 🕒
“And after winning MY Title I’ll come back to you and rub your face in MY success.”
🕘 Not trusting myself any long around my small cousin I slam my hands down on her desk once more before turning away and leaving her office with haste. I can’t fall to Mantaur. I won’t fall to Mantaur. I’m going straight to the gym and get ready to make my mark as WCW’s first and greatest acquisition. 🕒
