It was 2:30 in the morning and I heard my phone buzz. Sitting in my own personal jet, three thousand miles in the sky, I reached over and grabbed my phone from the nightstand to see the breaking news that John Pariah, owner of Redefine, a local wrestling promotion down in Chicago decided to close it's doors.
Shaking my head, this seemed rather strange as the company just had its biggest show and suddenly, we are closing our doors? It didn't make sense to me but then again; a lot of things in our business doesn't make sense to me anymore. Placing my phone back on the nightstand, I placed my hands behind my head and simply sat there, thinking about my next business venture and it wasn't long before my phone went off yet again but this time, it was Carmen Cambridge: a fellow coworker with me over in Redefine.
Once again grabbing my phone from off of the nightstand, I placed my thumb on the screen as it came to life, showing me exactly what she had said.
Carmen: "Hey, you awake?"
I had been awake ever since the show, a lot happened on that night and I was still pumped from the show but who wouldn't be after that kind of night? Texting her back, I was curious as to why she was texting this late but who knows, we had become really good friends off-camera and maybe she simply wanted to talk about what happened.
Stevenson: "Yeah, what's going on?"
Being around the wrestling business for a long time now, it wasn't out of the ordinary that people would come to me to discuss what has happened. Watching the three little bubbles at the bottom of my screen, I knew that she was texting back and after a very brief moment, there it was, the news that had been confirmed.
Carmen: "Did you hear the news? Redefine closed it's doors!"
Letting out a soft sigh, I had already heard the news and as I texted her back, I wasn't sure what would happen next but that's how we all felt.
Stevenson: "Yeah, I heard the news and to say it's shocking is an understatement, especially after quite possibly the biggest show that we have ever had."
Ask time dragged on, Carmen and myself talked for a little while longer and then I decided to get some sleep, it was a very long flight to Japan and I came off of my high from the big event.
Several hours later…
12:30 p.m.
Sunday afternoon in the lovely Tokyo, Japan
After I had woken up from my deep slumber, it wasn't very often that I slept in but today was a very special day and besides, I didn't have no work to be at any special time so, why not?
Removing the silk white sheets from off of my lower body, I brought my legs out to the side and stood up to stretch which was one of the first things that I did every morning. Grabbing my iPhone from off of the nightstand, I checked my messages to see that another promotion had decided to open another promotion and offered a contract to all of us. Replying back to Carmen who asked if I was coming along, my answer was easy and it was yes...
... The rest? Well, that's what we are about to see.
