It’s around 7:00pm and Richard Dravers and his wife Charlotte are in their home watching TV. Little Alex is in the corner of the room playing with toys – mostly her My Little Pony’s. She suddenly pipes up with a question.
Alex: Daddy…
Richard: Yes sweetheart…?
Alex: You know Nathy and Jon Jon wrestle…
Richard sighs already knowing the question before his daughter even asks.
Richard: Yeah…
Alex: …and you know you used to, and Uncle Larry used to and Mommy used to as well…
Charlotte smiles and suddenly chimes in
Charlotte: Mommy was a manager, honey. Not a wrestler. It’s a little different.
Alex looks confused for a second
Alex: Manjerr? But you got in the ring right? And you punched people and everyfin’?
Charlotte chuckles a little. ‘She may be six but Alex is smart’ Charlotte thinks to herself winking at Richard. Richard reciprocates, and grins.
Charlotte: I suppose you have a point, but Mommy didn’t actually wrestle honey. Anyway, what’s the question sweetie…?
Alex: Well… does it hurt?
Richard looks a bit shocked at this question. He was expecting the ‘When can I wrestle?’ question that his daughter seems to ask about ten times a week.
Richard: Er… well Alex… *he coughs a little* it can do…
Alex suddenly looks frightened and Richard retorts with a follow up to ease her mind.
Richard: But Daddy never got hurt did he Mommy? Daddy’s big and tough. Raaaaaaaaaaaaar!
He flexes his muscles and gets up out of his chair to playfully chase his young daughter. Alex laughs and giggles and playfully screams too. She runs away from him as he follows. The two run around the room for a few minutes before Alex tires herself out. Richard picks up his daughter and gives her a hug and kiss.
Alex: So…when I’m an even bigger girl, I can wrestle too?
Richard: If you want to… But… why don’t…
He lifts Alex up
Richard: …We start now? Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!
Richard lightly slams his daughter onto the sofa. Charlotte jumps off the sofa to give them more room as Alex laughs.
Charlotte: OK… but not too much. It’s past your bedtime miss!
Alex: Aww… Mommy…
Richard: OK Alex, go for me…
Alex hits a wild un-trained haymaker on her dad’s nose
Richard: Oof!
Alex continues the ‘onslaught’ with a wild kick to Richard’s leg, giggling. She then grabs his arm and makes him ‘tap’ to a Kimura type move! Or at least a six year old’s take on it.
Richard: Ow…ow! Ow! OK, you win! I tap out.
He ‘taps’ with his free arm and Alex holds the hold in place. Charlotte interjects acting as the ‘referee’, of sorts.
Charlotte: Now, now! You only have til the count of five Alex. Come on.
Alex: ‘Kay…er one two…free…four…
Charlotte pulls her daughter off
Charlotte: … five! Always let go before five or you lose sweetie.
Richard moves his arm around to get feeling back.
Richard: Y’know she’s good!
Charlotte: Here is your winner… Alexandra Dravers!
Alex and Charlotte cheer
Charlotte: Right you, go to bed! Upstairs, go!
Alex yawns
Alex: OK Mommy…Night Daddy…
Richard: Goodnight baby.
Richard kisses Alex as Charlotte carries a tired Alex upstairs. Richard looks on in pain but extremely proud and smiling. His daughter had just made a three time tag team champion tap out. Maybe, just maybe Alex had potential…
