Here I am, again waiting in this big impressive office of what appears to be my regular shrink. Ya... Seeing him that one time before my big match at IWA really helped so I figured why wouldn't it help me in LAW... why wouldn't it help me period going forward.
The couch is still stiff and uncomfortable but I hadn't really expected him to change it in less than a week but I tell ya, if this really was going to be a regular thing I would tell him that it was definitely a piece of shit excuse for something that's supposed to be comfortable.
He smiles when he sees me, making the effort to shake my hand and resume the seat in the equally as uncomfortable looking arm chair.
Doctor: So tell me Evelyn, how did your match go?
I smile, confidence was something I never had a problem expressing.
Evie: I retained.
The doctor beams back at me.
Doctor: Excellent and did you remain cool and collected like we discussed?
I nod my head.
Doctor: So what brings you into my office today then. You obviously do not have any anger issues regarding winning a match do you?
I roll my eyes.
Evie: You know. I offered my respect to the girl and she basically spit in my face so whatever. I could get angry over it but as you told me, there is a time and place for anger and in a controlled setting.
The doctor looks impressed that I've memorized it.
Doctor: I'm impressed Evie. After only one session you seem to have taken what I told you directly to heart.
Evie: I'm a quick study. No I decided that if I'm going to keep up with maintaining some control on my anger and the associated outbursts it causes then I need to keep seeing the only person that has managed to give me the tools I needed to get that way.
Doctor: That's true. I'm glad that I was the one to be able to help with that.
I readjust on the sofa. Yup this was going to be a struggle for sure.
Evie: No, I have a match in my other company this week. This girl, Alexis Jones... she's redebuting this week and they put me up against her although, not to sound cocky but I have no idea why I'm facing her. It's a debut match and I've already established myself as main event, I mean I have been in almost ever main event since I debuted. Now I get this middle match against basically an unknown. I mean I"m not going to be stupid enough to underestimate her like she assumed I would because I"m nto a fool. I've been training to do this a very long time and I've been ring ready for a while. I've been in LAW and IWA for three months. Not only am I the QotR but I won the woman's title and defended it successfully. I have one career loss between the two places. You can't tell me that all this doesn't mean something
The doctor nods his head and then reaches forward to once again, offer a comforting hand onto mine.
Doctor: Count... come on I'll wait.
I start counting back from 10 until finally I've cooled.
Doctor: Better now?
I nod.
Doctor: Okay continue...
Evie: I know that she's just got out of school herself and that's great. All the power to her. but she wants me to not underestimate her while she goes on to reduce me down to a 'hot head' that she can just easy toss aside. Not recognizing my accolades here in LAW alone. She wants to also disregard my other company because 'she's not in that company' okay fine, then I'll make sure to never count her record from any other company she's been in just the same. Any wins she got while in KWI or where ever else she's been. She wants a clean slate then okay but still... I have pretty much broken down every person I've been up against except when I had to team with Doc who let's face it, heart just wasn't in it. Something I will exploit when it comes time for me to relieve her of the pressure of holding the LAW title.
I take a deep breath and the doctor nods encouragingly.
Evie: I'm not sure what her stats are but I guess she hasn't paid attention that I have the strength and power of most men. in fact I out power a lot of men in this business. One of my finishers is one that if its done just right could actually knock you out. That has to pass for something of significant mention. I don't expect this girl Alexis to be easy. I never said that and I do hate people putting words in my mouth. But I do know that if she thinks that I'm just a stepping stone for her debut she can go talk to Sidney Grey. She'll tell you how every week I took her to the absolute limit and I came out the winner each time. Alexis is far from the strongest in LAW.
Doctor: It's good to have confidence in yourself Evelyn. It shows that you don't allow yourself to give up. But you also have to be humble as well.
Evie: Humble?
The doctor nods.
Doctor: Yes. Is it not humbling that there are people out there that will not believe what she says and support you anyways? It's not all just about winning it's about entertainment as well correct?
I shrug.
Evie: Sure it is but if I've got a dozen thousand Alexis Jones fans telling me to I need to give up to her I'm not going to listen just because they are fans in the audience.
Doctor: No. I mean that regardless of if you win or lose are you not humbled that your fans still back you anyway. You do know that winning isn't everything right?
Evie: Of course not. As I said, I have lost once. I didn't like it but I'm not egotistical enough to really think that I'll never lose a match. It's bound to happen in my other companies eventually too.
Doctor: Good. that's a good way to feel about it.
Evie: I am going to win on Sunday. Make no bones about it. There is no way I'm going to allow someone just starting up to take me down like that. I have my standards that I have worked very hard to maintain. Have you seen these guns?"
I flex my arm and point to my very defined bicep to which the doctor rolls his eyes.
Doctor: I just don't want to see a possible loss cause you to lose the control we've worked hard to establish.
Evie: No worries of that. She's banking on me losing it in the ring so that she can exploit that and she's going to be disappointed that Barbie in the magic dream house didn't explain to her that Evie Taylor is trying to improve herself. Sunday will be another day when I beat my competition and keep preparing for the day when I fight for my LAW title.
Doctor: Well you know I'll be watching and cheering you on. So obviously the exercises I gave you were a big hit in your match, would you like me to maybe try some hypnosis today. I'd really like to go back to the root of your anger, find that first trigger point so that we can remove that anchor from your life.
Evie: I'm all for it as long as Matai is present during it.
Doctor: Of course. You can go and get him and we'll start with the basics.
I smile, rising from my seat I make my wait to the waiting room where Matai is patiently waiting while reading a magazine.
Alexis Jones won't know what hit her but she'll know something did for sure. Regardless I wish her the best in life and love.
