1994 (8 years old)

I was in my room watching my VHS tape of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes & Dustin Rhodes vs "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Virgil for the millionth time.

"The son of a plumber" I said mocking Dusty's promo.

"SHAYLEE MORGAN"I jumped when I heard my name being yelled and quickly hit pause on the remote before running out of my room.

"WHAT!" I said standing at the top of the stairs.

"Young lady did you just what me?" My mom asked as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Sorry" I mumbled.

"You better be" she said cutting her eyes at me "Now go put your bathing suit on so we can head to the lake"

"Yes Ma'am" I said running back into my roomI grabbed my neon green one piece bathing suit out of my top drawer and slipped it on and grabbing my pink flip flops and putting them on then sat back on my bed hitting play on the remote.

"Boom" I yelled as Dusty kicked Ted in the stomach making him fall to his knees

"Get up Ted" I said throwing my hands in the air.I was so invested in the match that I didn't even notice that my mom walked in until I seen the TV turn off.

"MOM" I yelled throwing myself back on the bed "come on it was the best part"

"Well little miss wrestler I am so sorry that I stopped it on the best part but I guess you can go ahead and finish it and I'll just tell your daddy your too busy to come down and see him" she said walking out of the room.

I jumped up and ran out of my room passed her and down the stairs jumping in my dad's arms."I missed you so much Daddy" I said hugging him tight

"I miss you too baby girl"

"Hmm, I thought it was the best part?" My mom asked with her eyebrow arched.

"Well mom in the words of Ted DiBiase... Everyone has a price" I told her with a cackle.

"I swear you are your father's daughter" she said rolling her eyes.

A few minutes later we all climbed in my dad's truck and headed to the lake. Once we arrived I grabbed the beach bag and the blanket out of the truck and took off running to the sand dropping the items on the ground, kicking off my flip flops and taking off in the water.

I was swimming around when I felt a Fish hit my leg a few times. I put my hand in the water and tried to shoo it away from me when a little boy jumped out of the water and rubbed the water from his eyes.

"Sorry I didn't see you there" He said looking at me

"It's okay" I said swimming away

"Hey wait, what's your name?" He yelled

"Shaylee"

"I'm Colby"

"You sound funny, where are you from?" I told him"My family just moved her from Iowa" he told me

"Colby, Hmm" I said tapping my fingers against my chin as I crossed the other against my stomach "Well since I thought you were a fish that's going to be your new name, I'm going to call you fish" I told him.

"Okay" he said smiling with his two front teeth missing.

"And the crowd goes wild" I said as I climbed to the top rope of the ring.

I looked down at Colby who was lying in the middle ring prepared to take this frog splash. I jumped off the top rope bringing my knees to my chest before extending them and landing on top of him. I grabbed his leg hooked it "1...2...3" I yelled

I jumped up and grabbed my dad's championship belt from the corner. I climbed the ropes and held the tittle over my head mocking the cheering of a crowd. I looked over my shoulder at Colby who was still laying on the mat I jumped off the ropes and walked over to him. I smirked and pretending to have a mic in my hand and leaned over him and brought my hands to my lips.

"Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your..."

"SHAYLEE" my dad yelled causing me to jump in the air

"Sorry" I yelled sitting down next to a laughing Colby "Shut up big head"

"Shay, why do you always get to win the title?" He asked with a sad look

"Oh fish, you can win next time" I told him wrapping my arm around his shoulders.

"Promise" he said holding his pinky finger upI smiled before grabbing it with mine and giving him a kiss on the cheek

"Promise"I rolled out of the ring and went over to my dad handing him the title before sitting down next to him.

"You're a natural kid" Shawn Michaels said to me.

In that exact moment I was left speechless a new found spark and determination entered my heart and set my soul on fire. I knew that no matter what I was going to be a WWE superstar!

2003 (17 years old)

It was the first day of senior year I was walking through the halls when I see a paper hanging on the bulletin board that caught my attention I turned on my heel and sat my path on the gym. I felt someone grab the top of my backpack and pull me back slowly my movement. Colby put his arm around my shoulder and snatched the paper out of my hand.

"Shay as your best friend you know I fully support anything you want to do but are you a 100% sure you about this?" He asked reading the paper.

"Yes" I said taking the paper back.

"Okay" he said as we reached the gym "Just know they aren't going to be open to this"

"Why because their sexist?" I said with my eyebrows raised

"Yeah" he said with a matter of fact look.

"Colby don't worry I can handle the backlash and comments the guys are going to throw at me" I told him

"Now wish me luck" I told him

"You don't need it pretty girl" he said running his knuckles down the side of my face "I'll see you tonight"

I took a deep breath before walking into gym and sitting on the bleachers grabbing my boots out of my bag and putting them on.

"Are you lost?" Chad said standing in front of me with his two goons

"Nope" I said popping the p.

"I think you are see this is wrestling tryouts the cheerleading tryouts are down the hall" he said to me.

I rolled my eyes as I stood up and started to stretch. The coach walked in and took a look around the room letting his eyes land on me.

"What do you think you are doing?" He asked me

"Trying out for the team" I told him

"Look Shaylee I know that your dad is Stone Cold but I don't think you're up to the standards of carrying on your family's name" he told me

"Why?" I asked crossing my arms

"Because you're a girl and this is man's sport" he said

"But I do have a water girl position available if you like that"I grabbed my stuff off the bleachers and took off running outside getting in my car. I laid my head on the steering wheel letting the tears fall.
