The Slammys

~December 8, 2014~

"Stalker chic!"

I looked to see Jon walking towards me. I had hung around with Jon and Colby a couple of times when I was in Florida to spend time with Joe. I had gotten close to them as well and could consider them some of the best friends I had ever had.

"Jon, you know my name."

"I know, I know. I just like to mess with you." Jon gave me a hug before hugging Joe. "Nice to see you back here."

"It's good to be back. Are you excited about tonight?"

"Sure am. What with us taking home every award that we are nominated for and all."

"And then some." I heard from down the ways. I looked down the hall to see Colby coming towards us. He gave me a hug and then hugged Joe.

"What do you mean by that, Colby? Am I missing something?"

Jon and Colby laughed but Joe and I didn't get what was so funny. They looked at our confused expressions and Jon explained.

"WWE has Colby taking basically everyone's awards tonight."

"Seriously?" Joe laughed.

"Yep, I am accepting awards for people who hate me. It's going to be pretty fun."

"People are going to hate you." I mentioned.

Colby smirked. "I know, that's the fun part, darlin'. Well, I better get going. I have some things I have to do before the show. It's good seeing you back, Joe."

"Thanks, Colby."

Colby left and Jon did soon after. Joe took me on a tour of the arena and then we waited for RAW to start. Tonight was going to be a great night.

Joe and I sat backstage and I watched as Booker T came out to announce the winner of the final Slammy Award for Superstar of the Year.

"Superstar of the Year, as far as I'm concerned, is the most covenant award of the night. Now, those guys have been tested and proven that they are the best in this business. And they will do whatever it takes for the WWE Universe. Now I'm proud to present the nominees for the 2014 Superstar of the Year Slammy Award."

They ran through the nominees and I got nervous as they showed the Superstars. I did not know who would win. I was hoping it to be Joe. He needed this win. He had been so sad lately and I hoped him to win this award.

The list of nominees ended and it was time for people to vote and it took a commercial break. Booker T came back on after the break with an envelope in his hand. "Voting has been tabulated but before we announce this winner, are you ready guys? If you're ready, let me all come along with me and say it with me one time, now, can you dig that?"

The crowd roared. "Sucker!"

Booker T continued. "Oh, baby. And the winner is for Superstar of the Year, Roman Reigns."

I jumped up and the crowd cheered. Joe couldn't believe it. I could see it in his eyes that he was surprised. He was rushed out to the stage and I watched as my favorite wrestler on the entire planet and a man I could call my friend, walked out onto that stage to accept the award he rightfully deserved. He looked so happy as he shook Booker T's hand and stood behind the podium.

"Well this isn't satellite, baby, this is the real deal here."

I laughed and so did the others watching. Roman went on with his speech and it made my tear up a bit. He deserved this award. He earned it and it made me proud and happy that I was here to experience it all.

"I can't even believe I won."

Joe and I were hanging out backstage with Colby and Jon. Joe was still in shock that he won the award.

"I told you, Joe. I knew that one of us was going to walk out with every award. I'm glad it was you, man." Jon said before patting Joe's back.

"Thanks. Hey, we should celebrate, right? Let's go grab some drinks."

Jon stood up quickly. "Let's go."

We all laughed and agreed to go to a bar to get some drinks. Joe got a beer and said that was all he wanted. Colby, Jon and I however got wasted. I vaguely remember Joe saying that he was going back to the hotel later in the night and I think I said ok. We all hung out at the bar until we decided to go back later, completely trashed, to sleep it off.
