What happens next?
You head into the changing rooms
You walk into the changing rooms. You see various wrestlers about. Maria, Seo-Kim, Sofia just to name a few. But you spot Delilah and plonk yourself next to her.
"Please don't think I meant offense by what I said. I respect your work and you have done really well..." you stop speaking and you see Delilah's eyes are a little puffy. She looks at you with daggers. "Im not fucking crying fuck off" she says just loud enough for you to hear.
"Hey whats up. Did I upset you?" You ask concerned. "Yes and no" she responds. "More like the straw that broke the camels back type thing." She sobs. "I'm sure you've seen the discourse online of me right? The cocky talented upcommer but is now just losing to no names because she sucks?" You had seen that. "I don't quite agree. I thought you were cocky but you arent losing cause you suck. You just think you can win easy against lower ranked people so get complacent." She looks at you slightly smiling. "Thats slightly nicer but not the truth." You listen to her explain. "You remember that exhibition match against Brian?" You did. It was a strange video. It was up for a week before being removed. But it was just pretty standard. "After the match I left the studio and Brian assaulted me. Not in that way. He just pushed me hard to the ground. I landed on my knee awkwardly. Turns out it tore my ACL. It's why I've had so few fights recently. Took 6 months of recovery. Its why I was out from late December to June. My 4 most recent fights was the split decision and my losses. My knee isn't what it used to be. I can get the power anymore. Doc said at best im gonna be a top 32 wrestler. Brian was fired. But no one else knows. I just gotta keep up this facade of the cocky upstart mean girl. No one knows that im pretty much the underdog for the rest of my career." Tears hit the floor. You don't know what to do. So just hold her. "It's ok." You say not sure what to say. "I mean top 32 is still good." She just looks at you. "But I could have been a multi time champ. And its all gone because of some douchebag. I'm probs never gonna win a tournament fight again. Top 32 is my ceiling. Doc said it's more likely that im gonna be ranked from a 50-70 range." She continues to blub.
