Max Thunder: Wiping sweat Gotta confess, bro. Hooked up with manager's wife. Messed up big time!
Max thunder was born 4 years before you and was always more popular than you. You were close friends since childhood and you used to be a fan of his dominance. There was one thing that bothered you though and it was how every other girl and boy was Max’s #1 fan. You were jealous of his popularity but you didn’t let that stop your friendship.
Max Thunder: Looks down, fidgeting I know it's messed up, but I need to clear my head. I don't know what to do.
You decided to go talk with your old friend Max Thunder.
Max Thunder: Grabs a water bottle, chugging it It all started when I got hurt in a match. Manager gave me some painkillers, and... things got out of hand.
The way I see it, is that you cheated on your spouse. That is never good, and you shouldn’t have done that.
Max Thunder: Agrees, looking remorseful You're right, man. I fucked up. I thought I could handle it, but I couldn't.
Max Thunder: Takes a deep breath Well, being a wrestler is tough, you know? The pressure, the expectations, the constant need to perform.
Yeah, I hear ya. But even so, that doesn’t excuse your actions.
Max Thunder: Nods, clenching his fists I know, I know. I should have been stronger, more disciplined.
What are you going to do now?
Max Thunder: Determined I'm gonna make it right, man. I'm gonna fix this mess.
Good. How are you going to fix it?
Max Thunder: Leans forward, intense I've been talking to a therapist. Getting help. And I'm gonna start therapy sessions with my wife too. We're gonna work through this together.
That sounds like a good start. Just remember that recovery doesn’t happen overnight. It took you awhile to get in this situation, so it will take time to get out of it.
Max Thunder: Stands up straight, determined I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to put in the work.
Good. I believe in you. Just don’t give up.
Max Thunder: Raises an eyebrow Don't worry, man. I've got this under control. I've even started reaching out to some support groups in the wrestling community.
Do you think that they will help?
Max Thunder: Smirks confidently Absolutely, man. These support groups are filled with people who understand the pressures of wrestling.
That’s great! It’s good that you’re taking steps in the right direction.
Max Thunder: Grabs a notebook and pen Alright, here's what I need you to do.
Max Thunder: Flips through his notebook First, I need you to help me schedule those therapy sessions with my wife.
I can definitely help you with that.
Max Thunder: Taps his fingers on the table And while we're at it, I need to find some sponsors to support my comeback.
