Me and Matt's
relationship got better and better everyday. I don't know if I
would classify it with that four-letter word that I've heard so
many times before but I can say that it's getting close. He was
always there to help me no matter what the situation was. He was
always there to support me before I had to accompany Essa to the
ring. He was always there to give that beautiful smile of his
whenever I was sad about something. He was...just always there
andit's been that way ever since the first day I met him and his
little brother. They drove me and Essa from arena to arena every
week. Essa stayed at my house most of the time since he never
felt like flying back home to Mexico. We got some good news from
Vince himself the other day. He told him that he would be the
next World Wrestling Federation Light Heavyweight Champion. I was
so happy for him. Essa was a very talented wrestler. He helped me
a lot when I was struggling for money in Mexico so he deserved
the belt even though I'm quite sure he wouldn't care that much
about it. Hell, that's the way Essa was. To him, wrestling was
just that...wrestling. He didn't care too much about winning
titles. They just told me to tell him what matches we had every
night in Spanish since he still didn't know that much English and
he went out there and did what he had to do. The last thing I
told Essa was that our television debut would be on Februrary
8th.
**Februrary 8, 2000**
"So you ain't nervous?" Jeff asked me.
"No, not really. I'm hyper, yo. I'm ready to go out there
but hold up, someone's taping this match, right?" I said as
I got more comfortable in Matt's arms.
"Yep. Daddy's got it taken care of, baby. He'll be taping
all of your matches from now on." Matt said.
"Your daddy is so sweet. I gotta call him and thank him
later."
Someone slowly opened the locker room door a little and Terri's
head popped in.
"Hey, girl!" Jeff said.
"Hey, honey. Amy, we need to see you."
"We?" I replied.
"You heard me. Get your ass up."
"What is she talking about?" I asked Matt.
"Just a little tradition that the ladies do before someone's
debut."
"Tradition?" I asked.
Matt noded his head. I shrugged and followed Terri. I could
notice that my boyfriend was looking at my ass as I left. I
smiled evilly. He was always doing that shit. That's what most of
the men who I met told me...that I had a big and beautiful ass. I
stepped into the women's locker room where I needed to spend more
time instead of with my man.
"So what's up?" I said.
"All you gotta do is play a game." Terri said.
I looked at Trish. She gave me one of those "I don't
know" looks. Trish hadn't had her debut yet but we both got
in the WWF around the same time. I think she's gonna debut
sometime in March.
"What game?"
"Truth or dare." Lisa replied.
Lisa was one very hyperactive and talkative woman. Her TV
character, Ivory, was just like her. She was cool too.
"Alright. Let's play."
They all smiled evilly and we all sat down.
"Truth or dare?" Lisa asked.
"Truth."
"Alright. Is it true in that in the morning...your panties
be crusty?" Lisa laughed with the other girls.
"Y'all trying to play me. Hell, no. I take care of my
stuff...for my baby, Matthew."
We all laughed again and calmed down.
"Okay, okay. Truth or dare?" Stacey asked.
"Dare."
"Dare? You messin' with me, girl? Alright...I dare you to
prank call Scott and it better be good."
"You talkin' 'bout Scotty Too Hotty...a prank call... that's
it? Man, y'all whack. Where the phone at?" I asked.
Joanie passed me her cell phone.
"So I gotta make it up?" I said.
They all nodded. Luckilly, I remember this old interlude off of
TLC's second CD that had a prank call. Joanie dialed Scott's
number.
"Hello?"
"Whatcha doin'?" I said in my low, sexy and seductive
voice.
"Hold on, let me turn down my music, I can't hurt you. Who
this?"
"Whatcha doin'?"
"Come on, man, who this?"
"What you got on?"
"Come on, stop playin'." Scott laughed.
"I ain't got on shit."
The girls tried to hold in their laughter. He was actually
falling for it.
"Word? You need to tell me your name, girl, I gotta get back
to work so...come on, what's up, what's your name?"
"I can't tell you my name, that's not important and you know
what?"
"What?" Scott asked.
"I want you to stop working."
"Word?"
"Yeah."
"Alright, what you want me to do?"
"I want you to..."
I ran to the bathroom and started making noises as if I was
having sex.
"I want to...pass me some tissue...SO I CAN WIPE MY
ASS!" I said as I flushed the toliet.
The girls and me fell out laughing. Stephanie was on the floor
laughing her ass off just like me.
"Oh, my god. That was good, Amy." Jacqueline laughed.
"You passed the test, girl. You are now a WWF Diva."
They all clapped for me.
I gave them a bow and smiled.
"Thank you, thank you, I love you all." I blew them all
a kiss.
Some dude stuck his head in the locker room.
"Amy! Lita! Angelica! Whatever your name is...you're
on!" He said.
"Have fun. We'll be watching you." Lillian said.
"Thanks, y'all."
I ran out of the room and gave Matt a quick kiss which was
something that became mandatory before me or him had to go out to
the ring or we wouldn't be straight at all. This was the big
moment. Hopefully, tonight, I would get some fans. I hoped people
would actually watch Heat this week to see me. Gilbert finished
talking, Essa's music hit and we were on.
**THREE MONTHS LATER**
I was in my own world as I was watching Essa getting his ass
kicked again from ringside even though he was scheduled to win. I
was thinking about a friend of mine. Her name was Joann. We met
at an autograph session of mine. She was real sweet and offered
to run an official fan club website for me. I immediately told
her yes since I was so flattered. I never knew somebody cared
that much for me to run a website for me. I couldn't wait to see
what Joann was gonna do. We exchanged phone numbers and I looked
forward to hearing from her again.
Crash Holly gave Essa a DDT. I loved working with Essa but I got
sick of being just a valet. Sure, I got to do a Moonsault every
night but I craved to get in the ring again. Don't get wrong. It
still hasn't sunk it that I'm in the WWF yet. I'm very thankful
of this opportunity I've been given but I just felt it was time
for me to move on up. I loved Essa very much, he was the one that
made everyone know who Lita was. Still, I wanted a new angle. I
had only one Women's Championship Match even though I didn't
really care too much about that title. Then, we had that feud
with Joanie and Eddie but she kicked my ass in the ring. I even
got put through a table by Devon and Mark. Things had to change.
My talent was being wasted. I told Vince how I felt. The bell
rang and Essa's music hit. That was my cue. I got on the apron as
the crowd chanted "Lita" which really shocked me since
that had never happened before. I did the moonsault, grabbed
Essa's title and we left to a decent pop. I stepped through the
curtain and there was Vince.
"Amy, I need to talk to you for a minute. Follow me."
Vince said.
"Alright."
"Here, Essa" I handed him the Light Heavyweight
Championship.
"Hold it...for...me." He replied very slowly.
I slung the belt across my shoulder and followed Vince into this
room where Brandon and J.R. was standing. Brandon was one of the
production managers. I sat down with the rest of them.
"Amy, we're considering taking you away from Essa. We feel
that you have so much more potential and that he's holding you
back. We want you in the Women's Division." Brandon said.
"What women's division?" I replied.
"Exactly. We want to bring it back. A lot of the fans have
been complaining about it lately and all of you ladies are really
talented but if you do go through with this, we want the division
to be taken seriously."
"Okay, keep talking." I nodded my head.
"What we're thinking is that Lita accidentally starts
costing Essa his matches. He gets real mad at Lita about it and
Lita gets mad at him for being mad. Then, one night, Lita catches
him with some of the Godfather's hoes and then, Lita costs Essa
one of his matches on purpose." Vince said.
"Well, where am I going from here?"
"Amy, I listened to your complaints the other day and I
couldn't agree more. We are not letting your true character. I
know you want to stand out from the other women here so you're
gonna form an alliance with Matt and Jeff."
I stood up and smiled a little.
"You lying, right?"
"Nope. We're gonna put you with Matt and Jeff for about
seven or eight months. You'll accompany them to the ring and
you'll be wrestling a lot more."
"I get to team with Matt and Jeff...awesome, man!" I
said,
"What we're thinking is that Matt has a match with Essa.
Lita costs Essa the match, he gets mad and starts to beat Lita
up. Matt and Jeff come and save you." J.R. said.
"I like that. What do they think?"
"They're cool with it, especially Matt."
"I am so excited. This is exactly what I wanted,
Vince!" I gave him a hug.
"Now, we're still thinking about it so don't get your hopes
up."
"Alright. Thanks again, guys!" I left the room with a
big smile on my face.
I walked to the men's locker room. I peeked through the glass,
Matt was getting dressed for his match later tonight. No one else
was in there so I stepped inside.
"I assume you've heard you will be accompanying us to the
ring since you got that big ol' smile on your face." Matt
said.
I put my arms around Matt and gave him a kiss.
"That's right. How do you always know what I say before I
say it? That's so...sexy." I said as I kissed him again.
"Excited?"
"Yeah, man! It's gonna be awesome!"
"You think you're big now, wait until you join us. You'll be
huge then."
I thought to myself. That was true. Matt and Jeff were getting
huge pops lately. Who knew? Maybe someday that might be me.
