Rebecca Webber

The time is 6:00 am. It’s Memorial Day weekend, and for Rebecca Webber, it’s a bit of a bittersweet time. She’s enjoy a nice trip in Maui to visit her sister and brother in law for the holiday, but she is still feeling the effects of her NO DQ loss to Paisley at Breakthrough 28. Both physically and mentally she is hurting. She fought so hard and still came up short. She laid on the couch in Brian’s living room, scrolling through her phone at her twitter, everyone on the east coast was up and out, it being 6 hours ahead of her at the moment.

She looks through all the tweets about this show, and that show. The tweets about the upcoming barbecues. Then she sees the tweets from Paisley insulting her. She bites her cheek as she wonders if she should answer or rebuttal her, but what would see say? She lost.

VOICE: You’re up earlier.

The sudden voice almost makes Rebecca drop her phone. She sits up from the couch and sees Brian Stryker standing there.

REBECCA: I can say the same for you.

BRIAN: I have a three year old. I haven’t slept past 9am since he was born.

Brian walks to his kitchen as he starts putting a pot of coffee on. Rebecca pulls herself off the couch and leans on the breakfast nook. Brian raises an eyebrow at her as he slides a cup of coffee over to her.

BRIAN: Rough night?

REBECCA: You can say that. How do you deal with losing to someone who’s ego is just incorrigible?

BRIAN: You just do.

REBECCA: Well how do you do it?

BRIAN: I don’t think I’m the best person to give advice. The last rookie I trained/gave advice to is now killing goats and biting people on Defiance.

Rebecca whines a bit as she grabs Brian’s arm.

REBECCA: Pleeeeeeease?

Brian gives a defeated sigh as he leans back against the counter.

BRIAN: You just ignore them. So you lost. So what? You’re a rookie of a rookie. You are going through what everyone goes through in the beginning. You just keep working. It’ll come together at some point.

REBECCA: What if it doesn’t?

BRIAN: At least you have a college degree?

Rebecca glares at Brian.

BRIAN: Too much? What do you want me to say? You knew going in what it would be like. I’m not gonna coddle you nor is anyone else. You lose, you get up and move on to the next thing. It’s what we all do.

Rebecca groans as she lays he heard on the counter. Brian just looks at her and shakes his head. She is clearly his wife’s sister.

REBECCA: But she’s just so annoying! Like even for a wrestler.

BRIAN: Just focus on what you’re doing. Don’t worry about her. Worry about yourself and your progress. Everything else? That happens later on.

REBECCA: Fiiiiine. Doesn’t make me feel better though.

BRIAN: Wasn’t trying to. You’re a wrestler not a child.

REBECCA: But I hurt everywhere!

BRIAN: I can give you aspirin. That’s about it.

REBECCA:That’ll do I guess.

Brian reaches up into one of the cabinets and grabs the small bottle of aspirin and tosses it to Rebecca. She catches it as she pops the top and takes two pills out, swallowing them as she hands Brian the bottle back.

REBECCA: Not exactly a fun way to start your career though.

BRIAN: When I first started, I was powerbombed through two tables on my first night. It’ll get better, just work hard. Now if you excuse me, I have a three year old who needs me to watch Paw Patrol with him…..again.

Brian takes his coffee mug and starts to head down the hall mumbling something about “Paw Patrol being designed as a torture device”. Rebecca continues to lean against the nook as she taps the edge of her phone against it as she bites her lip. He was right, she had to just focus on working on her skills and getting better. She’s not gonna win them all and how she takes those loses defines her as a wrestler. She’d have to make sure to get into the gym for more early workouts once the holiday weekend was over.

She exhales a bit as she looks at the time being 06:30. She groans as she throws herself back onto the couch. She puts her pillow over her face as she tries to force herself into sleep. She had a lot of work ahead of her and it would be better if SHE COULD JUST GET SOME GOSH DANG SLEEP!
