PROLOGUE

The last name Morris is well known in the wrestling world. My grandfather was one of the first wrestlers to be part of the now-famous wrestling company in England, English Wild Wrestling, better known as EWW.

The beginning of the company was like any difficult beginning, with obstacles and more lows than highs. But after a while, it became known and highly respected nationally and today it is seen by several countries around the world. My grandfather didn't excel as a wrestler and after years inside there, he accepted a position in the management of the company, remaining there until his death.

With his son, my father, Joseph Morris, nicknamed The King by wrestling fans, it was quite different. My father followed his father's career and became a wrestler and achieved great things in the EWW; making the Morris name respected in English wrestling. Later, after he retired, he trained my brother to follow in his footsteps.

Ryan Morris is my older brother and joined EWW in 2004 at the age of 19 and was considered a natural talent from the beginning, won many titles and is now one of the most respected veterans in the company and for me, he is a perfect brother. Of course, like all brothers, happens fights, but this never changed the fact that he is always helping me and if there is one person in the world that I will always trust, is him.

And how about me? Well, I think I better tell you a little bit about my story. More precisely about my past at EWW and the reason that made me leave there three years after I enter it, with 23 years old and in the worst stage of my professional and personal life.

My Story

My name is Florenza Morris. As I said, I come from a family of wrestlers in England. Since I was little, always been my dream to become an EWW woman wrestler and, even though some may think my last name put me where I am today, wasn’t like that.

Like my brother, I didn’t want to receive privileges from anyone, but to start from the beginning as all others do, of course, we had a father who trained us since childhood but to become a professional wrestler it needs to have more than training; it needs to have love, breed, courage and, what I think is more important, dedication. And this is what my brother and I always had.

For my brother, it was more difficult in his beginning because when he started, EWW didn’t have a program to train young wrestlers at the beginning of their career, for later go to the main division of EWW, as it has now. So, my brother went through indies company since a very young age, and what he did there made the EWW hire him later. Many people think it was because of our family name, but that is not true. He deserves everything he conquers and the fans love him!

But I am here to talk about my story. The EWW now has a program for young wrestlers called, X-division that trains wrestlers, AH! By the way, all the wrestlers, women and men, who are part of the X-division have to use their real names. I don’t know why they wanted it that way, but it was a new thing in wrestling at the time. Of course, there were already some wrestlers who used their real names in the ring; like my brother, who was the first to not use a nickname or a fake name, but soon after, there were others, but it was a minority. And, today, thanks to the X-division program, most of the current roster of EWW uses their real name, but anyway. To enter that program requires a lot of training. It was difficult to get in and, after you enter, no gets easier. There we went through heavy training, classes, and some live events, to introduce ourselves to the public and if you can stand out from the rest, you go to the main squad, which is the EWW. And that’s how I managed to enter, in January 2012, with 20 years.

As soon as I joined the EWW, I was fighting to get my space. I didn’t have many friends, in fact, who I talked to almost all the time was with my brother, but, anyway. In a summary, in December 2012, I fought for the Women’s title and my expectation was up high and guess what?... I lost.

I got devastated. Not even my brother could cheer me up. That was my first chance, and I wasted it. Even the veteran Brooke, ring name Cathy. She was the one who defeated me that night and came to talk with me. She said that I would have another opportunity and tried to get me up, but was not enough. The defeat affected me a lot; I had a horrible ring performance. One week later, I was sitting in some place at the backstage of the show, still sad when he appeared. I didn’t realize who it was because I had my head down. He sat beside me, leaned his shoulder on mine, I looked to the side. The first thing I saw was that beautiful blue eyes looking back at me.

Tyler Good, a wrestler who just arrived from X-Division in the same year as me, but he formed a group called Brothers; with another two wrestlers. We hadn’t talked before, so I found it strange that he sat by my side. I said nothing, and then he told me:

—Look, I know we don’t talk before, but I have seen you at X-division before and I know how good you are. You can’t let this defeat affect you. Let your head be held high and don’t give up.

I never understood why he said those words, but it was at this point that our friendship started. After a few months, I already was into him. I didn’t know if he felt the same about me, but when I told him about my feelings; it took a time, but one day he confessed his feelings for me.

We were with one month together when I told him I was a virgin, Tyler was super nice about it, he treated me with respect and waited until I was ready. And when the day comes, was perfect, he made me feel so special. And was at that moment that I have known I was in love with him.

But I don’t want to think too much about it because this reminds me of him in the happiest time we had together; and when it felt like I was in the stars, with a perfect job, brother, boyfriend, I took a fall. After four months of the relationship, I sinned Tyler in a moment, let’s put it this way, very intimate, with Addison Agnes, the EWW’s table commentator. Yes, he was cheating on me. I got sad, upset, angry... but this clown who talks to you, after a month with him apologizing and saying it wouldn’t happen again, I forgave him, and then we were together again. I know I was innocent and believed in his love for me, but I still get mad at myself for coming back with him.

Why?

Well, let's say that, not long after we get together again, he decided that he was no longer in love with me and what happened with Addison was something that stirred his feelings and that he didn't stop thinking about her. So to finish, he stayed with her and I devastated...

A few months later, I heard that he married her, in 2014.

I could not consequently look at them both together. I was in a deep fall, so I left EWW. And after going through several wrestling companies around the world with a lot of effort, I made it good. The place that consecrated me was in Japan at The Best Japan Wrestling. TBJW is one of the most famous companies of wrestling in the world. I won my first title and even being younger, I can say that I made my legacy there.

Unfortunately, I didn’t find any love to replace my feelings for Tyler. Actually, I dedicated myself more to my career and I’m happy about the legacy I got in Japan. But now I want something bigger and despite Addison still working in EWW; she is very respected inside there. Tyler left to go to another company, in America. And I also want to accomplish a legacy there. After all, I have to honour my family's last name. And, I must say, I miss my family. So, now older, at 28 years old, I will come back to my country, my family, and to EWW. I left there defeated, but I will come back on top to become the new champion.

Monday, October 14, 2019.

—It is a pleasure to welcome you here again. We are very happy to see you and look forward to your great return.

I'm In London in the base of EWW, sitting in the office of the great Mr. George Axworthy, the President of EWW. Mr. George, with his 70 years and that despite the wave white hair, that since I know him continues the same way, has muscles of a 20 years bodybuilder. And next to him, always elegant in her dresses that, day after day, use a new different type. With her beautiful red hair, his daughter, who has now a big smile on the face, Ella Axworthy. When Mr. Axworthy is not present, is she who stays in charge of the business. Ella, I must say, was one of the people who always helped me here. And even when I left she gave me calls a few times to know how I was going.

—I'm very happy to be back, can't wait to get on the ring and start my new journey and hope it's better than the first time.

I said, smiling.

—I'm very joyful. —Ella said. —Even happier because you picked a great time to come back. As you may know, EWW will undergo changes. Now we will have two television shows per week. And, tomorrow, will be the day to know which stars will be part of each show.

—Yeah, I know. One show will be called, Tuesday Edgy. And the another, Friday NoLimit, right?

I asked, and the two nods with head. Then, Mr. Axworthy speaks:

—EWW is getting bigger and bigger and it was about time to give more space to the stars. Our idea is to make both shows as big as when they were only one.

—I know, tomorrow will happen the choices of which stars will go where and I am very anxious to know, if it will be also my return tomorrow because it will cause a big surprise in everyone; it will be like when everyone is just worried about who goes to Edgy or No Limit show...

I start to animated.

—My theme song plays, I surprise everyone, goes to the ring, take the microphone and say, ''I AM BACK, Bitches! '' And then…

I stopped talking because I'm looking at the expression on Axworthys face and let's say, they are looking at me in a funny way.

—It was a lot?

They nodded in agreement.

—I'm sorry, but I'm very excited and when I get excited… well, you know me.

—Yes, we know. —Said Mr. Axworthy.—Well, actually this is why you came here, for us to talk about when it's going to be your return and which show you're going to be part of.

—I'm soon warning that I want to be in the same show as my brother will be.

—Well, I know you got a legacy out there, but, inside here, Florenza, we're the boss.

DAMN IT!

.

After I left Mr. Axworthy's office, oh, by the way. He didn't tell me what show I'm going to be part of. He only said it will be a surprise for me too. But he told me I'm going to debut next week and that is good to know. I walked around looking for my brother and you believe he is not here? Hey! I came back today and he doesn't even come here to talk to me! I'm very angry with him, I… Ops, a text message:

Brother:  Hey, sis! I'm so sorry to not be with you but happened an emergency here in home and I couldn't leave, but soon as I can I will be there with you, I can't wait to see you, crazy head. Kisses!

I answered back that he could had called me, but if he told it was an emergency, I would forgive him. As soon as I was sending the message back, I saw that there was confusion here in the hallway and I realized, some wrestlers are walking around here, maybe it's because tomorrow something historical will happen here so everything is very agitated. I have not seen anyone that I know of the time I was here, it's been a while so many have gone out to fight in another country and just few have stayed. But also many arrived, both famous from other companies and new ones from the X-division. Of those who are walking here now, I only recognize them by the famous faces, but I haven't been introduced to any of them personally. While I'm walking looking, lost in this place that has changed a lot, I hear someone scream:

—Hey, strange!

I look in the direction where this voice with an American accent that I know very well came from. And as soon as I see it, I smile for seeing a familiar face. It is Zac Jacob Black. He joined here in EWW, like me, in 2012. We weren't friends, but he was part of Tyler's group, Brothers. And so when I started dating Tyler, Jacob became a very close friend of mine, in fact, he and the other member of the group, Dwayne, who, by the way, I hope to find here too.

Know, a good thing that came from my dating with Tyler was meeting Jacob and Dwayne. They became one of my few friends here and what happened in the past, they stayed by my side. I was surprised because they were friends closer to Tyler, but they said, although they are like brothers, what Tyler did to me was wrong. And I know Jacob is also a friend of Addison, but he blamed Tyler more for what happened. I agree with him. Of course, Addison could get away from Tyler, but she was single. Who cheated on me and then let me alone, was Tyler.

—Hello, Jacob!

I said going to him.

—How long I don't see you, huh?

He said and hugs me.

—I missed you, after a while, you stopped texting me, I thought you forgot me.

I said stopping the hug.

—You know I was very busy being one of the top guys in the company and, of course, recently...

He stopped talking and raised his hand showing the big ring on his finger.

—Oh, yeah, congratulations! I saw some pictures of you and the lucky lady and, I must say, you two are so cute together!

I said with my child voice. I don’t know why I did that.

Emily Carter is his fiancée and is also an EWW woman wrestler. I don't know her because she came here after I left, but it's impossible not to know who she is because, now, let's say, she is the woman to beat in here. She is the champion for a time which gave her the nickname, The Unbeatable.

—Ha-ha, you can make fun, but I'll tell you, I'm the lucky one. I found the woman of my dreams and I'm very happy. I can't wait to marry her.

—And I wish the couple all the best.

—So, you're finally back, will you debut tomorrow?

—Ah, no, only next week, but I still don't know what show I'm going to be on so I don't know the day, but I'm looking forward to...

As soon as I was saying, a message arrived on Jacob's cell phone and after seeing it, he says:

—Ah, sorry, it's Emily, I have to go now, but then I want to talk to you more, okay?

He said already leaving in hurry and leaves me here in the hall alone. Yeah, this is my life.

.

Another day came and with it, a new edition of EWW. And today it is a historic one because it is the last in the old format, all wrestlers in only one show and with the name EWW Show. Today, the stars will be chosen for each show, NoLimit and Edgy. And as my return will only be from next week on, I didn't go to the arena because Ella, early in the morning, sending me a message saying that is better I watch the show in my hotel room because she do not want anyone to see me in the backstage and tell the world that I am back, after all, my return has to be a big surprise.

I stayed in my room all day and, with the show finally started, I watch it as little by little they are announcing which stars are going to which show.

I still not know where my brother is going to be part, which is the one that interests me most, but the show so far it's great!

With the commercial break begins, I take advantage and go to the kitchen to drink water. As soon as I go back to the living room, the show returns and at the same time it appears on the screen that a wrestler, without saying whether it is a woman or a man, will made a return next week on the Tuesday show. Well, so I think I'm going to be part of team Edgy!

And I think it's great because the current EWW Women’s champion , Emily Carter, is also there. It is in her title that I want to stay closer. Of course, there will be another female belt in the other show. But Emily is the woman to beat here at EWW. And this is what I came here for, to face the best and prove to everyone what I am capable of. The show ended and the stars were divided and guess what? My brother will also be part of the Tuesday Edgy and I am very happy! About the other wrestlers, as I said before, I don't know the majority yet so I didn't care too much, of course, there the most famous and, I must say, even a few that I'm a huge fan. I am nervous about being among them.

But, finally, those wrestlers who I already knew from my time here and will be part of Tuesday Edgy are, Jacob, Brooke, or Cathy. And the iconic duo, that has been at EWW for a long time, The Trouble Double, Austin and Luke, both American. And from those that will be part of Friday NoLimit are Dwayne, Juan, and Petrix. Scott Petrix is from Canada. He was one of my first partners I had because when I arrived, he was here since 2010 and helped me a lot. With Juan, I talked a few times and he is super hot! I had I crush on him. I know more people, but they not appear today, out by injuries or solving problems, I don't know. The rest of staff, I have to be introduced yet. Thas'it. I'm going to sleep now and wait anxiously to make my big return.

I was woken up by my cell phone ringing and was still sleeping because it is 6 am! I answered without even looking who was calling me at this time.

— Hey, sister! Today is the big day!

— Randall!

It is my brother. When I get mad at him, I call him by his middle name because I know
