"And that's the story of the time my dad fucked a furry," Jamie says as the camera coalesces and shows him sitting on a couch talking to a woman in her late 50s, early 60s who looks slightly sick as she writes down some notes.
"And this is the man you grew up with," she asks as she looks back up.
"Not exactly. You see my mom wanted to bang Bobby Rose who was in Vermont at an Indy show so she could check him off her wrestler's I've fucked list but he didn't want to cheat on his wife with a baby on the way so my dad took one for the team and my mother ran out of the hotel room as soon as she saw him and realized what happened."
"So he didn't even know he got your mother pregnant," she says simply.
"Not until I told the world live on PPV at YoungBlood II last October."
"And how's your relationship with him now that it's been almost a year."
"He's acknowledged me as his son twice in the 9 months since YoungBlood," Jamie tells her with a scowl on his face. "He's been to busy managing another tag teams to bother apparently."
Sensing that Jamie is getting angry she switches the topic of conversation
"You said you had a brother and sister, how is your relationship with them?"
"Buddy seems alright if a bit odd. He's busy with his own career though and managing Killjoy to the Undisputed Championship."
"But unlike your father he gets a pass?"
"absolutely," Jamie says without hesitation. "Unlike dear old dad Buddy acknowledges me as family even if it's not that often and not once has he said I'm not."
"Fair enough," says Dr. Lake as she writes down a few more lines of notes. "What about your sister?"
"That's a bit of a longer story," Jamie says with a chuckle. "She was managing Bobby and Jimmy before I even came to the EWC and when I did it was a part of a tag team called Premium Posse. We faced them a few times and she decided to strip half naked to try and distract me from a ppv match.
"…Your sister did this?"
"I didn't know she was my sister at the time," Jamie explained quickly.
The therapist writes down even more notes and changes the subject, afraid to go down this particular rabbit hole.
"You said you started out your career as part of a team. Have you never been on your own?"
"for a little bit after Carter blew up with his used car lot. I was actually pretty good. Beat Dominic Sanders and main evented Day 3 of the biggest show of the year for the Indy Championship and almost won.."
"That's not to bad, why did you stop your singles career?"
"When Lorenzo signed his contract we talked and he said he wanted to be a tag team."
"so you jumped on being in another tag team despite having a pretty decent singles career going."
"He's my best friend why wouldn't I?"
Instead of answer Dr. Lake gives Jamie a uh huh as she reads her notes before writing a few more.
"That's enough talking about your family. I have a few questions for you about your career if you didn't have anyone else involved."
"O…K." Jamie says with hesitation.
"If you could go to any brand in EWC which one would it be?"
"Probably Rampage," Jamie said after a little bit of thought
"Why Rampage," Dr. Lake wants to know.
"I guess because Grizzly Duggan sees something in me I'm not sure I even see myself. I told you I main evented Day 3 of WrestleFest last year? Well I also opened Day 2 in a chop contest against Duggan. A contest he let me win for reasons I still don't know. He also gave me a match against the Undisputed Champion when I know no other GM would even give it a fraction of a thought."
"Go then," Dr. Lake tells him. ". You've been dependent on a partner most of your career. Even during your singles run you did it as a means to get your father's attention. Go to Rampage and do what you want to do without regards for what anyone thinks you should do. Do it for yourself."
Jamie leans back and thinks about what he was just told, nodding his head after a few seconds
"Not a bad idea. I'll let Maria know that we're going to Rampage."
"Alone Jamie," Dr. Lake said. "Maria needs to stay with Lorenzo. She's the wife you're father cheated on when he slept with your mother. You can't afford to get caught up in whatever there still may be between them."
"But..." Jamie trails off as he sees the serious look on his therapists face. "Do you really think it will help Doc?"
"I do Jamie," she says to him as the look in her eyes softens a bit. "If you give me permission I'd like to get you in touch with someone that has had his own family issues so he knows a lot of what you're going through."
If you think it will help I'll do it but neither of them will be happy about it. Especially with the tag tournament starting on Prime.
"If they truly care they'll understand."
"If you say so," he said as he pulls out his cell phone to text Maria not wanting to tell Dr. Lake he had already decided not to tell anyone in The Love Club that he's in therapy.
The camera fades out as he hits send and says his goodbyes to Dr. Lake before heading out of her office.
"And this is the man you grew up with," she asks as she looks back up.
