Well, just thinking about Soul Survivor.. ya know. The PPV is kinduv important to me. My fight with O'Dell will either make me or break me into a huge star here in XWA. If I fail... I'm not sure whats going to happen.
I know for one thing. I do not want to be stuck in mid-card hell for the rest of my career (laughs). Its just been an uphill battle for me, my whole career basically. Just trying to pay my dues and survive. More or less, proving myself to everyone else that I can be a big help here. That I can be a big star, if only the XWA will allow me to be.
But I dunno Lauren. Perhaps... I've made one too many mistakes in the past to allow that to happen. But, I guess only time will tell as to what will happen with me. |

Lauren moves a little closer to Brandon and places her hand on his shoulder, hoping that its warmth would reasure him and put his mind at ease. Her facial expression one of concern
"Aww... I never thought I'd see you like this, but I am sure that you'll beat him and the next guy and the next guy, after all you have beaten some names in your short time already. I believe in you, I have seen your matches and you are an animal. I am sure O'Dell is probably feeling just as bad if not worse right now" |

I know how you feel Brandon. I'm feeling like I'm a mid card jobber because of my losing streak right now. I'm starting to become desperate for a win. I hope that Soul Survivor proves to be a change of luck for me. [/color][/b][/font] |

"Come on guys, you need to stay positive, your biggest enemy is yourself they say. You two didn't look the type to let inner demons bother them"
Lauren is unsure if this perky attitude of hers is helping or annoying the two men |

Thanks... Lauren. I really needed that...
Brandon awknowledges Lauren. He knew that she was trying to make him feel better about himself. It was a little awkward in some ways. I mean, the Lauren that he saw before him was way different from the Lauren he had heard about from Logan elsewhere. Logan had planted a seed of doubt in Brandon's mind. He didn't know whether to trust Lauren or not.
Was this a front she was putting on ? Or does she leginmatly care about me, he thought to himself ?
Best to just go along with her.. for now. To see what her true intentions are.
Losing really isn't a big deal to me like it was before. But, on the other hand. It'd be nice to win a few matches for a change instead of losing left and right.
If I keep losing like this. What kind of 'elite' am I then ? All it proves is that I'm nothing more then a poser if that continues to happen. I've worked too hard in this sport to just give up now.
I sacrificed so much in the last few years. My social life, my family, my ex-wife, my blood, my sweat, my tears... Everything... all for the love of professional wrestling.
My only one true desire to be the best ever in this business.
But then again, maybe its too late for me. Maybe I've made one too many mistakes to even consider trying to make a change ? Perhaps all the critics were right... maybe I don't have a place in the business anymore...
Brandon picks up his beer and takes a few sips. Depressed and full of doubt. Seemed the more alcohol he consumed. The more he let out. In the end, very deep inside that hard shell of a man that would put fear into the eyes of wrestling noobs around the world was a man who actually cared about his sport and the people within' it. |

"They say it's lonely at the top, but I have found that this business can be lonely no matter what your status is. I spent most of my marriage to Logan on the road and even with him there were times when I felt extremely lonely. Times that I have doubted myself and the people around me, seems like professional wrestling can do that to you at times. Then there are the trust issues that creep up now and then, it may have been my youth or not but I wanted to punch every girl who came near Logan just so he wouldn't stray from me and to my knowledge he never did, but we drifted apart and by the time we arrived in Chicago it was only a matter of time before we seperated.
You don't have a place in this business? You of all people. The critics can go fuck themselves, you're one of the best and I won't hear otherwise. I am sure you can bounce back from a loss or two, hell I am certain that you could bounce back from ten losses. Why because the Brandon Payne I know is a winner, that's something that doesn't just die overnight."
Lauren stops herself mid rant then thinks about Brandon being married
"But you have an ex-wife? I just didn't think you were the marrying type?" |

Brandon couldn't help but smile after Lauren's little rant. He was beginning to like this girl more and more. She seemed to have a fiesty attitude about her. He could tell when she gets angry, in alot of ways. She is almost like him... scary thought huh ?
Yeah... I was married for a little while. A girl named Sabrina Lockheart. She was a wrestler as well. Even won the old TNB Women's Championship. Things were great for a little while. Then, when TNB folded and we all came over to XWA. Our marriage was strained. She wanted out of the business, where as I wanted to continue persuing my career. So, it was best that we split up. I haven't seen or talked to her since...
From there, I dated Stacie Collins. Almost like deja vu all over again. While she could hold her own in the ring. She didn't really have a 'love for the business' like we do. She wanted me to stay home more often. But, as you know Lauren. That just isn't going to happen. Your on the road 300+ days out of the year. Asking for time off is cardinal sin. So, yeah... we split as well.
And so, hear I am. On my own again. Striving to the best in this business. I learned over the years the best person you can count on is yourself. Not friends, not girlfriends or wives, not even your own flesh & blood.
In the end, they all turn there backs on you. One way or the other. Sad ? I know. But, thats the way things have been for me anyway.
But I... really don't want to dive into my family life. Not right now anyways. Its a little too much for even you to hear Lauren. |

"Seems like few women truly understand this business, I guess some just see the glamour to it and they don't think that any hard work goes into these things. I guess the all figure that we can just walk into matches with no training and expect not to get hurt. Then there is the travelling, on the road for 300+ days if you are lucky. I'd say there were more than that some years"
Lauren placed her hands on his shoulders
"You feel really tense, lemme see if I can loosen you up" |

Sure, why not.
Brandon goes on ahead and allows Lauren to massage his shoulders.
Wow... your pretty good at this. You know, Lauren. If this wrestling gig doesn't work out for you. You would make an excellent massous. You are most certainly good with your hands.
Brandon looks over at Mike. Who has been pretty quiet since Lauren came over.
Whats the matter Mike ? Is something wrong ? Your being awfully quiet over there. Your not offended that Lauren is over here with us are you ? |

Lauren continued to massage Brandon's shoulders, and she looked over to Mike and smiled. She wanted to know if he was offended by her
"I don't bite, well unless requested to"
Lauren's smile turn into more of a devilish grin, before she turned back to massaging Brandon |

Enjoying his weekend off from rehabilitation, "Wild Thing" James Bowen came in walking with a cane, and sat over at the bar.
James: Hey bartender, give me a bottle of Michelob Light, please.
Bartender: No problem.

Hey guys... get a load of that cripple over there. A heavily intoxicated Brandon Payne yells at James Bowen:Hey !!! Jimmy Garvin...uhhhh... I mean James Bowen. Why don't you give the Wrestling Elite, the Princess of Payne, and Michael Xavier a standing ovation.
BWHAHAHAHA
What is it with your gear ? Is this circa Atlanta 1990, Bad Street USA - Fabulous Freebirds era. That shit went out DECADES ago. 
Oh snap. Thats right, your a rock star. Hey, break a leg on your next performance kido,
BWHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAA !Yeah... Brandon was full of himself. He was drunk and found someone that was very amusing to him. |

Lauren could have swore that she had seen Bowen on her arrival to the bar, maybe it was just her imagination. Lauren certainly didn't like the way Brandon mocked him in his condition, and she instantly stopped her massage. Shaking her head she said
"Brandon that wasn't nice at all, why are you being such a jerk?"
Yet... No Lauren don't even dare think it |

Acting like a jerk ? Baby ! Its what I'm about. Picking on losers like that creep is what I'm known for doing. Gotta loosen up Lauren. What would you want me to act like ? A fuckin' PSYCHO !
Payne then begins to mimick Lauren's ex hubby Logan Steel.
Here is my impression of your deadbeat ex husband:
*clears throat*
Don't worry sweetie. Its all over with. That bad man is outta my life for good.
Oh no he isn't it.
What did you say to me, punk !?
I'm always going to be inside your head Logan. Controlling you every step of the way. muwhahahaha !
No....get....get outta my head !
NEVER !!!!!!!!!!
Afterwards, Payne bursts out laughing. Much to the dismay of Lauren.
Now... I don't know about you Lauren. But how the fuck could you date a guy that argues with HIMSELF 24/7 !? Its not exactly what we call here on planet earth...normal.
Maybe if you would use at least half of your brain cells for ten seconds. Your daughter wouldn't be put in such a compromising and fucked up situation. If you think for one second that your daughter is gonna live a happy & normal life with that creep. Then your sadly mistaken.
Bad people make bad parents Lauren. I'm sorry... but you fit the bill perfectly. |

SLAP!!!
The room fell silent after a collective "oohh" she dared to raise a hand to Brandon "Genesis" Payne, Wrestling's Elite. Either she was a brave woman or totally crazy
"Pig, you know nothing about me... Logan and you are just the same, always split personality, two people sharing you and your over inflated ego"
Lauren grabbed her bag and began to leave, she couldn't believe that Brandon turned into such a jackass just like that. She grabbed a tissue from her bag and wiped her tears away, she couldn't believe he'd use her daughter just to piss her off. Standing outside Lauren turned back and she could see Brandon laughing and chugging his beer, she turned away and began to walk, then stopping again
"Why the bad boys Lauren, why not a nice guy?" |
