The Power Player Sneak Peek

Something was definitely amiss. Something in the air. Something in the mood.

Something with Randy Orton.

John and Randy have gone way back. They trained together. Survived OVW. Partied together. Hell, even tag-teaming the same groupies together. They were best friends and confidantes. So when something was wrong with Randy, John knew. But what he wasn’t expecting was Randy to be so tight-lipped about it. Randy complained about everything, even the most mundane stuff.


But for once, he was quiet like a mouse. Highly unusual for someone who had problems keeping his loose lips closed. “What’s up with you, man? You okay?” John asked.

“I’m fine!” Randy inadvertently snapped, causing John to purse his lips. “Sorry, man. I have a lot on my plate.”

“Need to talk?”

No one can ever find out about this. “Nah, I’m fine. I just need to work this out on my own.”

“Alright, man,” John left it alone.

After a few moments, Randy turned to his friend. “Okay, let’s say you did something real stupid, but it wasn’t stupid to you or the other person, but you can’t tell the other person about it. You have to keep it moving like shit never happened. Like, what do you do?”

John studied Randy’s face and let out an inaudible sigh. Same story, different Diva. “Who did you drunk-fuck this time?”
