It was the year 2011, where a young 18 year old Donte Williams, going by the name Xander, had just finished a match...a squash match. It was nothing more than a 5 minute match.

Donte at this time was nothing different. Short dark brown hair, a baby face, no facial hair in sight. Very pale in skin color, a clean body free of tattoos. He had very little muscle. He was even wearing the simple wrestling gear of black tights boots and simple wrist tape.

He had just gotten backstage, to where Vince pulled him aside.

"There's no easy way of putting this, kid, but I don't believe you're ready. We're releasing you."

Those words broke Donte in half, as he wiped away the little sweat on his body. Luckily for him, Hunter came up to him.

"Hey kid, just heard the news."

"Yeah, I mean I know I wasn't the best, but even then...this was my dream."

"Look, this kind of career is a touch one. I'd know, I've been in this business for over 20 years. I'll tell you what..."

Hunter asked for a small piece of paper and pen. He wrote something down, before handing it to Donte.

"Here's my phone number, you need something, don't be afraid to call. I've gotta go, just remember that even if no one else does...I see something in you. Good luck."

Hunter gave a wave as he walked off, as Donte looked at the phone number before he heard his own phone go off.

He saw it was a FaceTime from his girlfriend, Rebecca.

"Hey babe." He said, Rebecca instantly  recognizing the saddened tone in his voice.

"What happened?"

"I got released, to the Indies now I guess." He answered as he walked the halls, passing many other superstars, some of which gave him wierd looks.

"I'm sorry to hear that...but hun...I've got bad news."

"Surely it can't be worse then what just happened. Lay it on me."

"Well..." Rebecca looked away from the phones camera with a saddened gaze. "...I'm sorry but this long distance isn't working out for me. I'm breaking up with you."

Just like that the call was ended,as Donte stood in the center of the hall he was in. He breathed in and out, before gathering his stuff and leaving. He was given his last paycheck, using to travel to one place and one place only.
