A new journey begins with a single step.
The Pure Heart Paul Rogers had been back on his Ranch in Wyoming since a differing of opinions had him walking out of this most recent job with NGW. At Forty-Five, he was definitely on the Sun-Set of his career. But there is just something about the Pro-Wrestling Business that refuses to let you go. It is like a drug that gets into your veins and there is no Rehab in existence that will take that craving away from you.

At Forty-Five, he was definitely on the Sun-Set of his career. But there is just something about the Pro-Wrestling Business that refuses to let you go. It is like a drug that gets into your veins and there is no Rehab in existence that will take that craving away from you.
Paul had been wrestling since he was Fifteen years old and joined his Wrestling Team in High School. From there he was Wrestling in College until he realized he didn't really want to be in College, he wanted to be in a Ring. After that, he was training with Wyoming Wrestling Sensation, Wild Bull Miller. Bull had never become a huge name in the business but the guy knew how to make Wrestlers and he appeared to have been Wrestling since he fell out of his Momma's Womb. Miller had told Paul on the first day of training when Paul of taking his boots from his bag.
" Kid, before you put those on...Think about something. Do you want to do this for the rest of your life? Because the minute those boots are laced you will never want to take them off again if you are meant to be here"
Miller had been right because the minute those boots were laced, Paul had been struggling for the next twenty-something years to keep them on. His Career was winding down, his relationship with a former Student was falling apart, and his phone had ceased to ring for a new job in awhile...That was until MSW made the call.
Missouri State Wrestling wasn't a huge company, there weren't big paychecks waiting for him there, and he was likely going to be putting more of his own money into living in Missouri than he would just to stay at home in Wyoming with his Cows. But the idea of getting to work again was just too overwhelming to pass up. The name Stevenson was synonymous with Missouri Wrestling and while the company had changed hands since then. The Emerald Academy was still there and Paul liked his chances of getting a spot as a Trainer with the Company to help offset some of his expenses...So he loaded up the old gear and made the trip down to the Airport for a flight down to Kansas City, Missouri.
Paul is seen walking through the Airport in a matching Suit Jacket and Slacks with a White shirt underneath. Behind him he pulled his Gear Bag, crammed full of his stuff and several Gimmicks that sold well at shows. He had another bag slung over his shoulder that carried some more clothes and toiletries. Paul was speaking on his phone as he moved through the busy Terminal.
" Yeah Miguel, she's fine to stay there until she is ready to move on. Just take care of the herd and stay out of her way. She's pretty salty right now and I don't want to find you in a shallow grave when I get home " Paul said with a chuckle.
Miguel is Paul's long-time Ranch Manager. He had worked for the Rogers family since Paul's Dad had run the Ranch, and Miguel's Father had worked for Paul's Grandfather before that. The Rogers, Sanchez families were well acquainted, to say the least, and that's why Paul knew he could trust Miguel to do the right things for the Ranch in his absence.
The "She" that Paul was speaking of was his former Girlfriend and Student Candy Turner. They had been together in NGW and Candy had shown a lot of promise there. She had a ton of untapped talent. but she was also quite the hyper little girl and never wanted to just stop and listen to the Grass Grow so to speak. The downfall of their relationship had probably come with the NGW tours.
She got a taste of life away from the Ranch and remembering what she liked about it. She didn't want to be there anymore and she was always on her Social Media more than she was helping Paul out. People drift apart every day. Doesn't mean you love them any less. Just means you got to move on and do what is right for you as a person and let them grow in their own lives.

Candy was now off on some trip with her new friends and would soon be back to the Ranch to decide what her next move was. Paul would give her all of the time in the World, which was the reason for him telling Miguel to just stay out of her way when she finally decided to return to the Ranch.
Paul held up his phone as he stood in line waiting to get through the rest of Pre-Boarding. He switched it over to the Camera mode and smiled. " Hey, again my faithful Pureheart Posse. I know you all probably thought it was time to put your Pureheart Merchandise in the back of the closet and forget all about me after my stop in NGW ended. But I got some good news and some better news for you all. The better news is that your old buddy Paul isn't done in the ring yet. I got the call yesterday that Missouri State Wrestling wanted to give the Pureheart a job...The good news is that you probably will have to watch my matches on their Website or perhaps I will be able to stream the shows through my site as well. Plus if you live in the Missouri area you may just be able to pick up the show on your local television stations."
Paul gives the Camera a big thumbs up. " Now for every one of the great Competitors calling MSW home right now. I know you take one look at me and wonder who let Grandpa out of the Nursing Home and into the Wrestling Ring. That's fine, believe me, I get it. I am an old guy and you all probably are praying I don't break a hip just walking to the ring. But I assure you that I am ready, and might just surprise a few of you with how well I do take care of this old body. So whatcha gonna do when the Ten Inch Pythons run wild on you"
The Pureheart mockingly flexes his bicep and laughs.
" Just kidding, I'm old, not ancient. Missouri State Wrestling, the Pure Intensity, Pure Integrity, Pure Heart is coming...I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you, through friendship or competition"
Paul clicked end on the video as the line moved again. He would make sure MSW got the little video piece and post it on his own website after he landed in Missouri. It was time for the Show Me State to show Pureheart Paul Rogers what it had to offer.
*End*--Sucketh Debut but it works.
