Chapter 2: New Friends, New Enemies

I know you’ve all been lying awake at night, minds reeling as you contemplated the life and times of Angel. Well rest easy, friends. My job takes a back seat to …

Chapter 2: New Friends, New Enemies

In her first two weeks at WCW, she had made many friends, as well as a few enemies. Well, not exactly enemies, just people she didn’t quite hit it off with. Barry Windham was one of those people. She guessed that after he had seen her chatting and laughing with Dustin Rhodes, whom he hadn’t been happy with latterly, he branded her by association. She liked Dustin. He was very personable and had a great sense of humor. (he was pretty good looking too!) But she didn’t like him that way. Not really. She had her heart set on Marc Bagwell. Marc was all she had ever hoped for in a man. He was gorgeous, smart, funny, and above all, nice. To Angel, a guy could be the smartest, most handsome comedian on Earth, but if he wasn’t nice, then some other fickle girl could have him. From what she knew, Marcus Alexander Bagwell was nice, honest, compassionate, and drop-dead gorgeous. Okay, so maybe looks did matter a little. But how could any girl refuse those deep pools of brown eyes, that soft brown hair, that fabulous smile, or that terrific muscular body? And best of all, he seemed to like her too. Her other friends in WCW included Madusa Miceli, Bobby Eaton, Sting, and a friend just made recently [was he sculpted out of play-doh?], 2 Cold Scorpio.

She didn’t really get along with Paul Orndorf, Rick Rude, Paul E. Dangerously (all 3 of them were too obnoxious for her) and for some reason, Missy Hyatt just hated her. Angel didn’t really mind that. She thought Missy was an Airhead.

Madusa really became the first girl friend she’d had since she entered wrestling. She had always been surrounded by Men. Sherri had always had ill-tempered mood swings. She had always DESPISED Ms. Elizabeth [really???]. Angel couldn’t remember the last time she had just sat and had some girl talk. She liked Madusa. Angel thought that Madusa was intelligent, nice, and witty. A real breath of fresh air compared to the sometimes stuffy personalities she found in wrestlers [I distinctly remember being proud of that sentence. Wtf does that even mean?]

Bobby Eaton’s personality was so different from his friends. Rick was loud and obnoxious. Van Vader was just plain loud. Arn Anderson didn’t seem to trust her, and Paul was lewd and childish. [they sound like way more fun than any of the drips Angel hangs out with] Bobby, on the other hand, was very quiet and always nice to her. Basically, he was very agreeable, but awfully reserved. She liked him a lot. He was a good friend. His shoulder-length hair was dyed blond and he had dark blue eyes. His best friend Arn seemed to think that there was something between Angel and Bobby besides friendship, but she knew that he was happily married and really didn’t like him like that anyway.

Sting was wild and fun. He loved surfing, outdoor sports [as opposed to foosball?], and parties, in fact, he was throwing a party at his beach house this weekend. He had invited her and all of his friends from WCW, including the Steiner brothers, who had just moved to WWF.

She and 2 Cold Scorpio became friends after Marcus, who was best friends with Scorpio, introduced them. [take a deep breath, folks.] Scorpio had a great sense of humor, a flair for dancing, and street smarts. He never beat around the bush and always had good advice. He was really down to earth and always knew what was going on at all times. He looked an awful lot like Martin Lawrence [he totally does]. Wherever Angel went, she made friends quickly. She didn’t know what she would do without her friends [uhm, in the case of all her BFFs from WWF, totally forget them], and tonight, at Sting’s party, she would have the opportunity to make new ones.

1) The phrase “deep pools of brown eyes” is really kind of gross. I just imagine a vat of eyeballs.

2) Sorry again about 2 Cold Scorpio. In my defense, that was the way his character was portrayed. So first blame the WCW marketing team, then blame me.


Well … now that we have some exciting background information, it’s time to meet a whole ‘nother bunch of new characters! Here is where stuff starts getting good (and by good, I of course mean just terrible) … we get to meet Dustin Rhodes, an effusive hugger, and Rick and Scott Steiner … one of whom is an irrepressible goofball and the other of whom is … oh shoot, you’ll find out soon. I ain’t spoiling one of the stupidest storylines I’ve ever written. BONUS: egregious crying. Yes. At a party. SUPER BONUS: detailed description of the outfit Angel wears to the party. Tune in next time for … Chapter 3: Sting’s Party.
