𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒, 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘ˡᵉ⁷⁷

in which luke witnesses your shot at the national championship.

warnings; none that i can think of (may upset some wisconsin fans, sorry if this is too soon)

If you could tell the hockey gods to go to hell at this moment, you would not hesitate.

March 24, 2024. Whittemore Center Arena, University of New Hampshire. The University of Wisconsin vs. The Ohio State University. 2 vs. 1. A little over eight minutes left in the game. The score? 0-0.

Despite outshooting Wisconsin throughout the entire game, you had not scored a single goal. You had had a few close chances, sliding in past Wisconsin’s defensemen a few times, but just couldn’t convert. At this point, you were thanking Raygan for her outstanding performance in goal. But most definitely not the hockey gods.

The voice of Coach Muzerall fluttered through your ears as she told you all to give it everything you got. You were sure Mark Johnson was giving the same speech to his girls at the opposing bench, but honestly, you were too nervous to care. Your eyes wandered around the arena in hopes of finding the only person who could offer any comfort at the moment — Luke.

Unfortunately, Luke had missed the past few games of the NCAA tournament — even your earlier Frozen Four game against Clarkson — because of his schedule with the Preds. Luckily for you, the team was rewarded with a complete off day after their win over Detroit last night. So Luke did the only he could think of. He bought a plane ticket to Durham as soon as he landed in Nashville, and ubered to the arena in order to see you play. You woke up to a text saying that he’d be there, and were beyond excited (and relieved).

As you skated onto the ice in preparation to resume the game, you were able to locate him about halfway up in the stands. He was on his feet, decked up in his scarlet and gray apparel, with a buckeye necklace hanging around his neck. In his hands was a sign that read ‘BUCKEYES > BUCKY’. A small smile crept its way onto your face, wondering where he would have even gotten the materials to make it, but you didn’t care. His support meant everything.

After moving your eyes off of Luke, you focused on Cayla Barnes, who was stationed off to the right of you. She gave you a quick nod, and you knew she meant business. Just as you focused your attention back on the ice, the puck had dropped, with the Badgers winning the draw.

You quickly moved into your own zone, parking yourself in front of the nearest Wisconsin player, which happened to be Britta Curl. The puck passed back and forth between a few of the players before Laila Edwards ended up taking a shot. Raygan managed to kick save it out of your zone as most of your teammates went to make a line change.

They weren’t quick enough, however. Wisconsin had managed to quickly pass the puck out of their zone to center ice, where Curl was waiting patiently with her stick. The puck fell into line perfectly as she entered your zone. You rushed back as fast as you could as you saw Raygan prepare for a wrist shot, and somehow managed to poke the puck away as you tangled up with her. This time, the puck landed right on Cayla’s stick.

Cayla quickly rushed up ice as you let out a small breath. You followed suit, backing her up in case a Wisconsin player managed to steal the puck back. It didn’t take long, however, for Cayla to find Hannah Bilka at center ice, with Joy Dunne on her tail.

You held your breath as the puck landed on Joy Dunne’s stick. If there was one person who wasn’t going to fail you, it was her. She was your team’s leading point scorer with 38 points on the year (23 of which were goals), the WCHA Rookie of the Year, and the NCAA Rookie of the Year. Almost immediately, she sent the puck flying right past McNaughton’s glove and into the goal.

Cheers erupted from the ice, bench, and stands as you were swallowed up into a team huddle by the glass. Joy excitedly made an “O-H” with her hands before embracing you all and making her way to the bench. You smiled softly and looked up at the clock — 7:13 left in the third. You skated off the ice and Stephanie Markowski took your place by center ice.

Locating Luke again, a bright smile was plastered wide across his face as he watched the replay. He had met Joy, who you embraced as a little sister, when he had come to campus to visit you earlier during the all star break. Needless to say, he was proud of her, as anyone should be. What you didn’t know, however, is just how proud he was of you. Your defensive poke-check set the scoring play into motion and here you were just over seven minutes away from winning the national championship.

Time couldn’t have passed more slowly for you as the clock wound down. Wisconsin had created many more scoring opportunities, but just couldn’t convert (you had to thank Raygan once again). You were back on the ice with two minutes to go, scrambling back into the defensive zone as the Badgers pulled McNaughton in order to gain an extra attacker. Your heart raced as you saw Casey O’Brien rush onto the ice, skating swiftly towards your goal.

You knew nothing good was going to happen if you couldn’t calm down. So, as the puck was passed to Ava Murphy, you took a deep breath and raced in front of her as she wound up for a slap shot. As she let go of the puck, you dove in front of it, the puck redirecting off of your ankle and into neutral territory.

Man, did that hurt like a motherfucker. The crowd simultaneously grimaced and cheered for you as you recollected yourself off of the ice. You swear you could hear Luke’s voice yelling your name out of the entire crowd, telling you to get up and kick ass.

The puck was quickly regathered by Caroline Harvey as she circled through neutral ice, waiting for her teammates to reenter the zone. Once completed, the puck was passed to Lacey Eden as Emma Peschel tried to poke it away, but in vain. Caroline passed it to Charla Edwards, who lined up to take a shot from the blue line. None of your teammates were guarding her, so you did what you had to do. You once again skated up and prepared your body to be hit with a hard piece of vulcanized rubber. When it did, you fell to the ground, but got right back up as cheers erupted once again.

“Let’s go, Y/N!” Quinn Kuntz yelled from the bench, and you struggled to skate, but the puck had bounced right back to Edwards. Instead of trying to move around you, she wound up for another slap shot, but that one didn’t get past you either. The puck once again hit your body as you blocked the shot, falling to the ice once again. Finally, Emma was able to clear the zone as the puck raced towards the other end of the ice.

At that moment, you used your stick to propel you towards the bench. You knew you weren’t seriously injured — you’d just have a few bad bruises here and there — but your body hurt like a bitch from taking all of those shots. You were greeted with pats on the back from all your teammates on the bench as Hannah jumped back on in your place. You smiled softly as a response, focusing on the jumbotron to see the time left in the game.

One minute. If you could hold off Wisconsin for one minute, you would be a national champion. You watched anxiously as your teammates tried to clear the zone towards the now empty net of Wisconsin, but to no avail. Finally, Joy had managed to send it down the length of the ice, which forced a quick line change. You hopped on the ice with around 30 seconds left and made your way into the defensive zone yet again.

Since McNaughton was pulled, the Badgers had an extra attacker, which made it harder to defend your goal than usual. You weren’t going to give up that easily, however. The puck was passed back in forth between the six Badgers on the ice, each one of them waiting for the perfect shot. The clock wound down as the puck finally landed on Sophie Hegleson’s stick.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion. You could hear nothing as you once again forced yourself to skate in front of her, knowing that this goal would change the trajectory of the game. Your teammates were counting on you, so you were going to give it your all. You braced yourself for impact as the puck hit your back, your body sacrificing itself for the win exactly as the buzzer went off.

The game was over. You were officially a national champion. The sounds of your teammates yelling filled your ears as you let your body collapse to the ice, both in pain and in shock. You took your helmet off to gather yourself as a small smile made its way across your face. You had done it.

Emma skated over to you and pulled you up off of the ice, and you both rushed over to join the dog pile of your teammates on top of Raygan. Although you couldn’t see him, Luke was smiling down at you, a look of immense pride present on his face. He fumbled with the buckeye necklace hanging around his neck as he couldn’t contain his excitement, knowing that you were a national champion.

After you all had settled down and received your medals (but not before shaking hands and congratulating Wisconsin on their tremendous effort), you were allowed to bring family members and friends onto the ice to take pictures. As Luke made his way onto the ice, you excitedly skated over to him, and his arms were wide open to catch you. You smiled widely, your eyes shining brightly, “I did it, Luke. I really did it.”

He cupped your face with his hands, nodding his head in agreement, “You did it, my love. I’m so fucking proud of you.”

You smiled brightly up at him again, your eyes swelling with tears. Luke pulled you into another hug, gently kissing the top of your head, “Go celebrate with your teammates. I’ll be right here waiting for you when you’re done.” He reassured, giving you a soft smile as he wiped away some stray tears that had fallen with the pads of his thumbs. You nodded, skating over and joining Joy. When you were finally given the trophy after she did, you hoisted it high up into the air, ready to show it off to the entire world.

After all, it’s always been Ohio against the world.

I feel very weird about Ruby. And I don't know why. She does pretty much everything right?? But I just... don't like her...? Well, no, I think she's okay... but... I don't know, my feelings are so mixed and weird 😭

The one thing about her I can pinpoint is when she banished Peril from the Kingdom of Sky and would lash out against her. Which, to be fair, all of those years of watching Peril burn dragons to death and Scarlet's manipulation probably had something to do with that (not saying that Ruby's feelings are justified, but they are certainly understandable). But Peril becomes better? And Ruby eventually apologizes to Peril? And takes back the ban in everything? So she's obviously capable of recognizing mistakes and improving. But... there's STILL just SOMETHING about her that throws me off. The vibes are weird.

Also, I think she would own Rae Dunn-esque pottery. (You know, those jars with the really REALLY thin fonts that people go crazy for.)

For reference, this is Rae Dunn pottery.

Okay, every time I watch RAW/Smackdown I start wondering who's a valet and who's a dominant out of the new(er) guys and who's paired up and who's single... Indulge my curiosity, pleeeease? 😄

This is pretty much my default setting LOL - I exclusively judge wrestlers based on how they fit in the valetverse, so will I indulge? Absolutely!!!

Raw Roster:

(Let's start with the easy ones)

Cody Rhodes (valet) is still married to Randy Orton (dominant) but they've since divorced from Ted DiBiase Jnr. (They also have a kid in the valetverse now)

CM Punk (valet) is still married to The Undertaker (dominant) and they have Frankie Calaway.

Seth Rollins (valet) is still married to Roman (dominant) and Jon Moxley (valet) but their marriage is a bit shaky after the events at Wrestlemania (which I will go into in future fics). No kids.

Drew McIntyre (dominant) is still married to Jinder Mahal (dominant) but he's... having a bit of a crisis just now involving a certain Second City Saint.

Sami Zayn (valet) recently remarried Kevin Owens (dominant)

Damian Priest (dominant) is married to Finn Balor (valet, beloved husband), Dominik Mysterio (valet, who's been sniffing around elsewhere recently) and JD McDonagh (valet, but is actually more Finn's boyfriend)

Chad Gable (valet) is married to Otis (dominant). For now...

Kofi Kingston (valet) and Xavier Woods (valet) are both married to Big E (dominant)

Gunther (dominant) is married to Ludwig Kaiser (valet), recently divorced from Giovanni Vinci (valet)

Rey Mysterio (dominant, had to think hard about this one. He ticks all the right boxes for a valet but the more I think about it, the more I see him as a really short dominant) is married to Joaquin Wilde (valet) and Cruz del Toro (valet). Recently betrayed by bestie Carlito (dominant, who Dirty Dom has been sniffing around).

Karrion Kross (dominant) is a tricky one for me because he needs a Scarlet imo - his harbinger of doom! But whether this role is filled with another wrestler on the roster or a 'gender-bender' version of Scarlet, I can't decide. I'd love to hear some suggestions?

Sheamus (dominant) is recently divorced from Ridge Holland (valet) and Pete Dunne (valet).

Everybody else on the Raw roster is single, as far as I can see (but then I only watch Raw sporadically when Punk is on) and is split like this;

Valets:

Akira Tozawa, Dragon Lee, Ilja Dragunov, Jey Uso, The Miz, Ricochet, R-Truth, Tyler Bate

Dominants:

Akam, Braun Strowman, Bron Breaker, Bronson Reed, Brutus Creed, Dijak, Ivar, Julius Creed, Odyssey Jones, Rezar,

Smackdown Roster:

LA Knight (valet) is still married to Bobby Lashley (dominant)

Baron Corbin (dominant) has divorced from Bo Dallas (valet, who has since vanished...???? Hmmm 🤔)

Angelo Dawkins (dominant) is married to Montez Ford (valet)

Santos Escobar (dominant) is married to Angel (valet) and Berto (valet)

Karl Anderson (valet) has long been married to Luke Gallows (dominant)

Johnny Gargano (valet) is married to Tomasso Ciampa (dominant)

Everybody else is single and is split like;

Valets:

AJ Styles, Apollo Crews, Ashante 'Thee" Adonis, Austin Theory, Carmelo Hayes, Cedric Alexander, Elton Prince, Grayson Waller, Kit Wilson, Logan Paul, Tonga Loa (so far, maayyy change my mind on that depending on what he does the next wee while)

Dominants;

Andrade, Shinsuke Nakamura, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga

Phew! Considered yourself indulged! 🤣

RULES:

All fictional women from a category will be randomized, and put into polls

Whoever gets 50 votes automatically proceeds into the next round. There won't be only one winner for each poll!

We will do one category at the time. We'll start with books.

We'll decide on a winner of each category, and then whoever had the most votes, will proceed into the Final 10.

I'll calculate how many votes each woman got, so that at the end of the voting, you can see how many other women also adored your favourite ones :)

This also means that once you vote, if there's someone else you also want to see in the finals, you can reblog and let your followers know who already has enough votes, and who needs more in order to proceed. I'll also sometimes reblog polls announcing that a certain character has made the cut, and now others need your attention. We're trying to see which ones are loved and adored enough to actually get a lot of votes, even with competition. The voting starts at the end of nominations!

(POLLS ARE COMING SHORTLY)

9/28-PCW Extreme Political TV

Political Championship Wrestling Extreme Political TV PCW Arena Washington, DC Saturday September 28th, 2024

Announcers: ‘The Voice of PCW’ Johnny Suave AGE: 50 / HT: 5’ 11” WT: 195 HOME: Philadelphia, PA HAIR: Brown / STYLE: Like Ronnie Dunn / FACE: Goatee DRESS: Brown suit without tie

Colleen Crowder ‘Low Level New York Times Reporter Trying to Make a Name for Herself’ AGE: 38 / HT: 5’ 5” WT: 142 HOME: New York City, NY HAIR: Black / STYLE: Curly / FACE: Narrow face with rounded jaw, turned-up nose, faint freckles, and thin lips. Bulging blue eyes, thin eyebrows. DRESS: Black pants suit

PCW Champion: Charlie Blackwell (American Heartland) Since 2/10/2024 PCW Women’s Champion: Catherine Cline (Independent) Since 9/21/2024 PCW World Television Champion: Starz N. Stripes and ‘The One-Man Anti-Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism (Since 3/3/2024)

Opening The PCW Arena erupted in a deafening roar, the air thick with the smell of sweat and anticipation. Fists pumped in unison as the crowd chanted “PCW! PCW! PCW!” The energy was electric, palpable, like a powder keg ready to blow.

In the center of the ring stood Johnny Suave, the self-proclaimed “Voice of PCW,” his perfectly slicked-back hair catching the glint of the spotlight. Beside him stood Colleen Crowder of the New York Times, her sharp eyes scanning the audience for any signs of controversy.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” Suave’s voice boomed, shaking the rafters. “Welcome to another explosive episode of PCW’s Extreme Political TV!” The crowd roared in approval, their excitement reaching a fever pitch.

“Last week,” Suave continued, his voice rising above the din, “we witnessed history as Catherine Cline shocked the world and claimed the coveted title!”

Crowder shifted uncomfortably beside him, her press badge dangling from her neck like a scarlet letter. Her lips pursed as she spoke up. “Shocked is right, Johnny. Some might say it was a bit… premature.”

Suave’s eyebrow arched in challenge. “Premature? The people have spoken, Colleen. Cline earned that victory fair and square.”

“Fair?” Crowder scoffed, her eyes narrowing in disapproval. “It was Kathryn Randall Collins’ time. Cline should have waited her turn, paid her dues like the rest of us.”

“Paid her dues?” Suave’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “Last I checked, this was PCW, not a union meeting. The best wrestler wins, period.”

Not one to back down, Crowder interjected with a sly smile on her face. “Let’s take a look at what happened earlier tonight,” she gestured to the giant screen above the ring.

The footage rolled, revealing Catherine Cline arriving at the arena. The fans swarmed her like bees drawn to honey, their smartphones raised high in hopes of capturing a selfie with the rising star. Cline, all smiles and grace, signed autographs and posed with young girls who looked up at her with stars in their eyes.

Suave’s pride was evident as he watched the scene unfold. “Look at that, Colleen. A true champion of the people.”

But Crowder simply rolled her eyes. “Oh please, it’s all just a show,” she scoffed, not buying into the hype surrounding Cline’s rise to fame.

A figure appeared out of nowhere and blindsided her. It was Collins, launching a vicious attack from behind. Gasps and screams filled the arena as Collins slammed Cline into the barricade, the sickening thud of flesh on steel echoing through the stands. The crowd’s shock quickly turned to outrage as they watched their beloved champion being mercilessly beaten by her challenger.

“My God!” Suave shouted into his microphone. “A cowardly ambush by Collins!”

The footage continues, showing Collins stomping away at the fallen Cline. The crowd’s shock turns to outrage, boos raining down as Hillary Clinton emerges, a smug grin on her face.

“You see?” Clinton’s voice crackles through the speakers. “This is what happens when you support these… these deplorables.” She gestures to the stunned fans. “They need to be deprogrammed, reeducated to see the truth.”

Suddenly, Sarah Mae Smith, the “American Girl,” charges into frame, tackling Collins to the ground. Clinton’s smug grin quickly turned to fear as she scrambled away, PCW security rushing in to restore order.

In the commentary booth, Suave’s face was flushed with anger. “Absolutely disgraceful! An unprovoked attack on our champion!”

Crowder, on the other hand, took a more nonchalant approach. “What did Cline expect, Johnny? She came out of nowhere, jumped the line. Actions have consequences.”

“Consequences?” Suave’s voice rose with indignation. “This isn’t some backroom political deal, Colleen. This is PCW. You earn your titles and Catherine Cline did exactly that last week.”

“Cut the melodrama,” Crowder scoffed. “You’re just happy your golden girl got the spotlight while Kathryn Randall Collins suffered.”

“Screw your narrative,” Suave shot back.” “You just jealous because the people love Catherine Cline.”

“What the people think is irrelevant,” Crowder insisted. “We the media determine the narrative and what people should care about.”

Suave had enough of it.  “Yeah, right.  Let’s move on.”

MATCH #1-NON-TITLE: PCW Tag Team Champions Starz N. Stripes and the ‘One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism vs. The Green World Order The video screen flickered to life, replaying the moment American Patriots’ Starz N. Stripes and Stone Chism clinched the PCW Tag Team titles.

“First, Starz N. Stripes eliminated their opponents tonight- The Green World Order- during the four-way elimination match,” explained Suave.

(3/3-PCW Extreme Political TV-PCW Tag Team Title Match) “Starz is locking it in! He’s looking to make GreenPete tap out faster than a politician changes their stance!” Suave roared as Colleen Crowder shook her head, clearly not appreciating the analogy.

“Oh shut up, Johnny.”

On the apron, Brock Cole Lee, ever the activist, attempted to intervene. But Chism was there, yanking Lee down. The crowd erupted as GreenPete’s resistance finally crumbled, tapping out to the unrelenting pressure.

“GreenPete has tapped! The Green World Order is eliminated! We’re down to two teams!” Suave declared.

ELIMINATED: The Green World Order (Progressive Alliance)

Suave narrated further, “Then it come down to Starz and Chism versus The SEC.”

(3/3-PCW Extreme Political TV-PCW Tag Team Title Match) Down to the final two- Starz N. Stripes and ‘The One-Man Anti-Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism… The Sports Entertainment Corporation-Gator Bates and The Alabama Kid

Starz planted Bates with a DDT before synching in the American Stars and Fujiwara Arm Bar, wrenching back with the determination of a determined incumbent. Chism, not to be outdone, delivered another low blow to The Alabama Kid, ensuring his partner could maintain the hold.

“Desperation moves by Chism! But hey, all’s fair in love, war, and politics… I mean wrestling!” Suave quipped as the crowd watched with rapt attention.

Bates had no choice but to tag out, his will sapped by Starz’s relentless grip.

“Starz N. Stripes and Stone Chism have done it! They’ve climbed to the top of the PCW mountain!” Suave declared, while Colleen Crowder’s expression soured further, her disappointment palpable.

“Sure, they won, but at what cost? And with what tactics?” she muttered, embodying the skepticism and critique often levied in political circles.

Johnny Suave’s voice crackled with excitement, “And that, folks, was the moment our current champs shocked the world!”

Colleen Crowder scoffed, “Shocked? More like cheated their way to—”

“Save it, Colleen,” Suave cut her off. “Here comes the Green World Order now!”

A wave of boos cascaded through the arena as the GWO’s valet, Peta, strutted down the ramp. Her PETA shirt was strategically ripped to show more skin than fur. Behind her, GreenPete lumbered along, his muscles rippling beneath a layer of green body paint. ‘Extreme Vegan’ Brock Cole Lee followed, looking gaunt and pale, while PeaceNick brought up the rear, his dreadlocks swaying as he chanted, “No violence, just peace!”

Lee snatched the mic, his sunken eyes gleaming. “We’re changing everything!” he rasped. “Starting with your diets, you capitalist pigs!”

Peta zeroed in on a fan in the front row, “You! With the double cheeseburger! How dare you murder innocent animals for your gluttony!”

The fan, caught mid-bite, flipped her the bird.

Suave chuckled, “Looks like the GWO’s recruiting tactics need work.”

“They’re spreading awareness,” Crowder insisted. “It’s not their fault if—”

The opening riffs of Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red White and Blue” drowned her out as Starz N. Stripes burst onto the stage, Old Glory draped across his shoulders. Stone Chism followed, his muscular frame a stark contrast to the Hollywood elites he despised.

“I hate this song,” grumbled Colleen. “It’s so jingoistic.”

“And here come our champs!” Suave roared. “Starz N. Stripes, the embodiment of American values, and Stone Chism, the man who turned his back on Tinseltown!”

Crowder rolled her eyes, “Please. Everyone knows the GWO is going to win. It’s the accepted narrative.”

“Is that so?” Suave retorted. “Last I checked, this was pro wrestling, not your newsroom, Colleen. Anything can happen.”

As the referee signaled for the bell, Suave added, “And remember, folks, this is a non-title match. But you can bet both teams will be fighting like their political futures depend on it!”

The bell rang, and chaos erupted in the ring.

The ring explodes with a flurry of motion as Stone Chism barrels through his opponents like a freight train. GreenPete and Brock Cole Lee crumple to the mat, victims of Chism’s thunderous double clothesline.

“By God, Chism’s on a rampage!” Johnny Suave exclaims, his voice crackling with excitement.

Colleen Crowder sniffs disdainfully. “Typical conservative brutality. The Green World Order represents a more evolved form of competition.”

Chism backs Lee into the corner, unleashing a barrage of lariats that leave the vegan wrestler gasping for air. The two trade right hands, each blow echoing through the arena.

“These men are engaged in a good old-fashioned slugfest!” Suave shouts.

GreenPete, recovering his wits, flips both men the bird. “That’s mature,” Suave remarks sarcastically.

“Freedom of expression,” Crowder retorts.

In a burst of athleticism, Lee attempts an enziguri on Chism. The Anti-Hollywood star ducks, and Lee’s foot connects squarely with GreenPete’s jaw.

“Friendly fire!” Suave crows. “The Green World Order is imploding!”

Chism, seizing the moment, tags in Starz N. Stripes. The patriotic powerhouse launches himself over the top rope, crashing into PeaceNick and Peta from PETA at ringside.

“A blatant attack on peaceful protestors!” Crowder protests.

Suave retorts, “They’re at a wrestling match, not a hippie drum circle!”

Starz slides back into the ring, wielding a steel chair like a weapon of mass destruction. He cracks it across GreenPete’s skull with a sickening thud.

“That’s assault with a deadly weapon!” Crowder shrieks.

“That’s professional wrestling!” Suave fires back.

Lee charges in, his shoulder connecting with Starz’s midsection. The vegan wrestler follows up with rapid-fire chops in the corner, each strike punctuated by a primal yell.

“The Green World Order is slowing the pace,” Suave observes. “They can’t keep up with the American Patriots’ intensity!”

Chism tags back in, leaping from the top rope with a devastating double axe handle to Lee’s cranium. All four men are now in the ring, chaos reigning supreme.

“This is anarchy!” Crowder exclaims. “Where’s the referee?”

“Probably grabbing a hot dog,” Suave quips. “Extra mustard, hold the soy.”

Starz raises the chair again, this time connecting with Lee’s skull. GreenPete, seeing his partner in peril, snatches the chair and drives a low blow into Starz’s groin.

“Now that’s what I call green energy!” Crowder cheers.

Chism grabs GreenPete, setting up for his patented Anti-Hollywood Blockbuster. But before he can execute the move, Peta from PETA slides into the ring and delivers a devastating low blow to Chism.

“That’s a foul!” Suave roars. “Where’s security?”

Starz, enraged, grabs Peta and unceremoniously tosses her through the ropes. He follows up by heaving GreenPete over the top rope, sending both crashing to the floor.

“The American Patriots are dismantling the Green World Order!” Suave exclaims.

Crowder, her voice dripping with disdain, retorts, “This isn’t over. The narrative always prevails in the end.”

As the chaos in the ring reaches a fever pitch, the arena suddenly goes dark. A spotlight illuminates the entrance ramp, revealing Neal Conn standing there, his face a mask of righteous indignation.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” Conn’s voice booms through the arena, “it’s time we address the elephant in the room – or should I say, the donkey?”

Starz and Chism, momentarily distracted, turn their attention to the stage.

“You two,” Conn points accusingly, “are being led astray by the siren song of populism. Donald Trump is steering you down a path of isolationism and ignorance!”

The crowd erupts in a mix of cheers and boos, the arena seemingly split down the middle.

“What we need,” Conn continues, his voice rising, “is a return to American exceptionalism! We must be the world’s policeman, the indispensable nation!”

Suave, incredulous, turns to his co-commentator. “Is he seriously advocating for more foreign interventions?”

Crowder nods approvingly. “It’s about time someone spoke truth to power. The narrative demands it!”

Back in the ring, Starz and Chism exchange confused glances. Conn, sensing their hesitation, goes for the jugular.

“Gentlemen, it’s time to face facts. Darth Dick Cheney himself has endorsed Kamala Harris for PCW CEO. If that doesn’t convince you, what will?”

The mention of Cheney’s name sends shockwaves through the crowd. Starz, his face a mixture of disgust and disbelief, grabs a microphone.

“You want us to support Kamala Harris? The same Kamala who-”

Before Starz can finish his thought, Lee and GreenPete capitalize on the distraction. They attack from behind, GreenPete grabbing Starz in a full nelson while Lee lines up for a devastating kick.

“Look out!” Suave yells, but it’s too late.

GreenPete, with surprising strength, lifts Starz and powerbombs him across Lee’s knee. The crowd gasps in unison.

“That’s what I call green energy!” Crowder exclaims gleefully.

Lee, not content with mere brutality, scales the turnbuckle. GreenPete pulls Starz up and Lee sets him up on the top turnbuckle.  With grace belying his vegan lifestyle, he executes a perfect Springboard Canadian Destroyer on the dazed Starz.

Chism, enraged, charges in with a roaring lariat, but GreenPete ducks, sending the big man tumbling over the top rope.

In a flash, Lee locks Starz in a crucifix pin. The referee, seemingly materializing from thin air, slides into position.

“One!” The crowd counts along.

“Two!” The blue seats erupt in anticipation.

“Three!” The bell rings, and half the arena explodes in cheers.

“I told you so!” Crowder gloats, practically dancing in her seat. “The narrative always wins!”

Suave, visibly deflated, concedes, “The Green World Order may have won the match, but they didn’t win the titles. This isn’t over.”

As if on cue, the ‘Blue State Elitist’ Charles Robinson-Richards… leader of the Progressive Alliance saunters down to ringside, a smug grin plastered across his face.

“After that stellar performance,” he drawls into a microphone, “it’s clear the Green World Order deserves a title shot. The people demand it!”

Before the GWO can celebrate, the familiar entrance music of PCW Owner Dawn McGill cuts through the arena. She strides confidently to the ring, resplendent in a form-fitting emerald green blazer and matching pencil skirt, her blonde hair cascading over her shoulders.

“Not so fast,” Dawn declares, her voice a mix of authority and exasperation. “I make the matches around here, and I’ve got something special in mind.”

She pauses for dramatic effect, the entire arena hanging on her every word.

“At November’s PCW Extreme Election Night 2024, it’ll be The American Patriots defending their titles against The Green World Order in a no-holds-barred, winner-takes-all extravaganza!”

The crowd erupts, a cacophony of cheers and boos filling the arena as Dawn’s announcement sinks in.

Commercial Break *KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK*

A woman walked to the front door of her house. The door swung open, Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell, decked out in their finest American Patriot Leader cosplay – red ties tight as nooses around their necks.

“Good evening, Johnson began, his Southern drawl thick as molasses in December. “We’re here to offer you a golden opportunity.”

“Golden opportunity, you say?” She raised an impeccably arched brow… the very picture of feigned curiosity.

“Indeed,” Mitch chimed in, face earnest, mustache. “You should come home…to the Republican Party.”

Mike adopted a preacher’s fervor. “That’s right. The Republican Party is the party of Abraham Lincoln. It’s the perfect place for you to be.”

“Well, as much as that sounds intriguing…” the woman began, “…and it does…I think I’m going to pass.”

“I see, you want us to sweeten the deal,” he said, hand slicing through the air as though it could cut a side of beef.  Okay, we can throw in advocating lower taxes without demanding reduced spending,” Mike declared, his voice carrying the oily charm of a used car salesman peddling a lemon. “Laissez-faire regulations that favor corporations, health care and wages that again favor big business at the expense of ordinary workers.”

Mitch chimed in, his drawl thick as molasses, “Let’s not forget big business trickle-down economic policies that also favor large employers and leave middle America behind.”

“Guys, that’s a really bad deal,” she said, her tone flat, like a teacher explaining gravity to a room full of kindergarteners moonwalking in defiance of it.

“Ooooh…we’ve got a negotiator here,” Mike said, his grin stretching like he’d just struck oil in his backyard.

“Um no. I’m not negotiating,” the woman retorted, crossing her arms, her posture unyielding as a barricade at a protest rally.

But yet, the negotiating began.

“Okay—and I can’t believe I’m saying this,” Mitch began, leaning forward, his face earnest as a boy scout pledging an oath he intended to break, “we’ll even throw in a half-assed promise to root out deep state bureaucrats and keep out activist judges who undermine legislate from the bench and thwart the will of the people…”

“…while maintaining the status quo for the Washington D.C. beltway elites to continue to prosper while middle America withers on the vine like they have for the past 25 years,” Mike concluded, nodding gravely as though he’d just offered her the keys to Fort Knox instead of a ticking time bomb.

“That’s our final offer,” McConnell said, his tone suggesting he’d laid down a royal flush when all he had was a pair of twos.

At that moment, the woman’s cell phone cut through the stale air, its ringtone a brash country riff that made both men jump. “Um, no. If you’ll excuse me,” she said, plucking the phone from her desk with the urgency of a surgeon answering a Code Blue.  She slammed the door behind her, leaving a silence that hung heavy and uncomfortable.

“Ah, the old pretend an emergency has come up and shut the door in our face trick!” Mike scoffed, bitterness seeping into his voice like whiskey through a cracked glass. He muttered, more to himself than to McConnell, a desperate hope clinging to his words like rust to iron, “She’ll come back. They always do. Right, Mitch?…… Mitch?”

Professor McCarthy Arrives The arena lights dimmed, and a confident figure in a tweed jacket and horn-rimmed glasses strode down the ramp with purpose. Accompanied by an eclectic group of followers, he exuded an air of self-righteousness that was palpable even from a distance. The man, known as Professor McCarthy, climbed into the ring with his acolytes forming a protective circle around him.

“Behold, the unenlightened masses!” McCarthy boomed into the microphone, gesturing dramatically at the crowd. “You deplorables in flyover country, it’s time to listen to your intellectual superiors!”

A wave of boos erupted from most of the arena, but pockets of blue-clad fans cheered enthusiastically. McCarthy held aloft a leather-bound tome, its gold-embossed cover glinting under the lights.

“This book contains the only correct thoughts and beliefs,” he proclaimed. “Either conform to our Progressive agenda or be silenced!”

The jeers intensified as McCarthy’s face reddened with indignation. ‘How dare they question my wisdom,’ he fumed internally. ‘I’ll show them the error of their ways.’

“I demand Kathryn Randall Collins get the first title shot against Catherine Cline!” he shouted, spittle flying from his lips.

The chorus of boos grew louder, drowning out the smattering of applause from the blue seats. McCarthy’s nostrils flared as he struggled to maintain composure.

Suddenly, the video screen flickered to life, revealing a raucous tailgate party outside the arena. The camera zoomed in on a group of rowdy individuals lounging around a smoking grill with beers in hand and grins on their faces – it was none other than The Vice Squad.

“Hey Professor Buzzkill!” General DeBauchery called out, waving a bottle. “How about you let people think for themselves?”

McCarthy sputtered incoherently as the crowd roared its approval. DeBauchery continued, “By the way, we love Catherine Cline. And did you hear Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg’s going libertarian now?”

“Blasphemy!” McCarthy shrieked, wildly waving his book in the air. “The good book forbids such dangerous independent thought!”

The camera slowly zoomed out from McCarthy’s enraged face, capturing the chaos that had erupted in the arena.

As the tension rose, the giant screen behind them suddenly cut to a rustic Main Street backdrop. Four figures stood shoulder-to-shoulder, their faces etched with determination. They were Mike the Mechanic, Farmer John Deer, Ken Worth the American Trucker, and Sarah Mae Smith the ‘American Girl’.

Mike stepped forward, his coveralls stained with grease. “Folks, we’re the backbone of America, and we’re hurting.” Farmer John nodded in agreement, gripping his wrench tightly. “Four years ago, they promised us prosperity. Instead, we got higher prices and lower wages.”

Ken adjusted his cap and added, “Our rigs are idling, and our wallets are empty. Something had to give.”

Sarah Mae locked eyes with the camera, her gaze fierce. “We’re not asking for handouts. We’re demanding a fair shot at the American Dream.”

As one, they declared in unison, “It was time for real change!”

In the ring, Professor McCarthy’s face contorted with rage. He raised his ‘good book’ high above his head and screamed, “Heretics! Deplorables! How dare you question the narrative!” He turned to his Flock of loyal followers, jabbing a finger at the screen. “Shout them down! Silence these dissenting voices!”

But as the Flock opened their mouths to unleash a cacophony of disapproval, their voices faltered and confusion spread across their faces. McCarthy’s eyes bulged in disbelief. He tapped his ear, realizing that the microphones had been cut. His face turned an alarming shade of purple as he silently screamed, veins bulging in his neck.

Just then, a suave and confident voice cut through the chaos. “Yeah, it kind of sucks when someone prevents you from expressing your opinion, doesn’t it?” The camera panned to reveal Suave, a charismatic figure who stood calmly amidst the chaos.

The Flock looked on in shock as Suave coolly shrugged his shoulders and smirked. McCarthy’s red-faced rage only intensified as he realized he had lost control of the situation.

Commercial Break The same woman from before answered a knock on her door.  This time, it was Hakeem Jeffries from New York and Chuck Schumer, with his thick New York accent, leaders of the Progressive Alliance.

“There she is!” Hakeem exclaimed in a falsely upbeat tone. “We’ve been searching for you.”

She forced a polite smile.  “What can I do for you?”

“We knew that the Republicans might be stopping by tonight to try and sway you towards joining the Red Brand,” Hakeem stated confidently.

Chuck chimed in, “We wanted to present you with an opportunity… make you a better offer.”

Sighing, the woman replied, “Let me guess, an offer I can’t refuse?”

“Exactly,” Hakeem confirmed with a smug grin. “It’s time for you to come home…to the Democratic Party.”

Yes,” Chuck continued eagerly. “The Democrats represents the underdogs, and our brand is perfect for them.”

“Okay,” the woman replied half-heartedly. “As tempting as that sounds, I think I’ll pass.”

Hakeem’s smarmy smile faltered slightly. “I see. You want us to sweeten the deal,” he said, making a hand gesture that was supposed to represent adding something extra.  His voice boomed, his words hitting like a sledgehammer. “We can throw in higher taxes, excessive regulations, artificial solutions to health care and wage stagnation-”

The woman shifted uncomfortably on her feet, her eyebrows raised in skepticism.

“Artificial solutions?” she questioned, her tone sharp.

Chuck leaned forward eagerly, eager to add his two cents. “Big government trickle-down economic mandates versus doing the hard work to formulate concrete long-term solutions and promoting policies that create organic growth.”

She let out an exasperated sigh. “Guys, that’s a bad deal.”

But Hakeem just grinned, clearly enjoying the verbal sparring. “Ooooh…we’ve got a haggler here,” he taunted.

“Yes we do,” agreed Chuck with a chuckle.

The woman shook her head. “Um no. I’m not haggling.”

But despite her protests, the haggling commenced.

“Okay…and I can’t believe I’m saying this,” Chuck began. “…we’ll even throw in political correctness…”

“…deep state bureaucrats and activist judges undermining the will of the people and making law from the bench…” interjected Hakeem.

“…and maintaining the status quo for the Washington D.C. beltway elites to continue to prosper while middle America withers on the vine as they have for the last 25 years,” finished Chuck triumphantly.

“Really?” the woman replied with faux excitement.

“And last but not least…” Hakeem declared, pausing for dramatic effect before continuing. Suddenly, Barack Obama appeared, a smug grin on his face.

“And I’ll be the first one to welcome all of the bitter clingers to the Democrats!” Obama announced, clearly relishing in the chaos.

“That’s our best offer,” Chuck declared with a satisfied smirk.

Dawn pretended to mull it over for a nanosecond before turning away abruptly. “Um, no. If you’ll excuse me.” With that, she quickly made her escape, sprinting down the sidewalk toward her parked car in the driveway.

“Oh…it’s the run away trick,” Hakeem mocked from behind her.

But she didn’t look back.  The woman got into her car and sped out of there.

Preview of Next Week’s Extreme Political TV Back at the announcer’s table, Johnny Suave turned to his co-host Colleen Crowder with a sly grin. The bright lights bouncing off his slicked-back hair only added to the mischievous glint in his eyes. “Well, well, well, Colleen. It seemed we had quite the heated battle brewing for Tuesday’s big match.”

Colleen adjusted her designer blazer and straightened her posture, ready to deliver her analysis with precision. “Absolutely, Johnny. All eyes were on Tim Walz as he went head-to-head with J.D. Vance for the coveted PCW Aide de Camp position. And let’s not forget the momentum Walz gained after his recent appearance at the Minnesota-Michigan game. Electric didn’t even begin to describe it.”

Suave raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Oh? And I suppose you missed the absolute frenzy when Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at the Georgia-Alabama game?”

“Please,” Colleen scoffed. “A few rabid fans in face paint didn’t hold a candle to real enthusiasm fueled by political passion.”

“I think our viewers might have something to say about that,” Suave countered playfully. “But they got to decide for themselves come Tuesday night, live on PCW Extreme Political TV – Walz versus Vance for the ultimate spotlight in politics!”

As the two continued their spirited debate, the camera took in the scene around them. The arena was buzzing with energy as fans roared from their seats, already picking sides for the upcoming clash of political titans. Signs and banners claiming allegiance to either Walz or Vance could be seen waving fervently in the air. This was not just a wrestling match – it was a showdown between politicians fighting for power and influence in the political world.

MAIN EVENT-NON-TITLE: PCW Champion Charlie Blackwell (American Heartland Coalition) vs. ‘Mr. Hollywood’ Kevin Daniels (Progressive Alliance) The blinding spotlight illuminated ‘Mr. Hollywood’ Kevin Daniels, strutting down the aisle with a smug grin plastered on his chiseled face. Behind him, a posse of Hollywood elites trailed like sycophantic puppies, eager to bask in his glory.

As he reached the ring, Daniels grabbed the microphone and his voice dripped with condescension. “Oh, Charlie Blackwell! You simple, unrefined brute. I’m clearly the superior specimen – in looks, talent, and moral virtue. Why don’t you bring that shiny PCW Championship out here so I can show everyone how it should really be worn?”

But before Daniels could finish his taunt, Blackwell’s music erupted through the arena like a thunderclap. The crowd went wild as he charged towards the ring, title belt in hand.

With a powerful leap, Blackwell dove under the ropes and faced off against Daniels. Fists flew as he unleashed his fury, driving Daniels into the corner. Each time Daniels stumbled out, another sledgehammer blow sent him reeling back.

“How’s that for refinement, Hollywood?” Blackwell taunted between punches.

Daniels, dazed and unable to keep up with Blackwell’s relentless onslaught, resorted to dirty tactics. As Blackwell wound up for another punch, Daniels struck like a viper and drove his knee into Blackwell’s groin.

“Oof!” Blackwell grunted in pain. Dirty trick, I should have seen it coming, he thought.

Seizing the advantage, Daniels whipped Blackwell into the ropes and clotheslined him out of the ring. The brawl spilled into the crowd, fists and elbows flying as they battled up the arena stairs.

“You’re out of your element, champ!” Daniels sneered before hurling Blackwell down a flight of steps.

Blackwell tumbled uncontrollably, feeling pain shoot through his body with each impact. But he knew he couldn’t let Daniels win, so he dug deep and fought back.

They clashed back down to ringside, trading blows as the crowd roared in excitement. Just as they rolled back into the ring, a flood of bodies poured down the entrance ramp – the Progressive Alliance, swarming Blackwell like angry hornets.

“What the hell?” Blackwell grunted as he fought off the onslaught.

But then, the American Heartland Coalition charged in, evening the odds. Fists and bodies flew everywhere as the American Patriots joined the fray. It was chaotic in the ring, but it was also an epic battle between two fierce rivals for the PCW Championship.

As the melee reaches a fever pitch, Blackwell finds himself surrounded by a sea of flailing limbs and flying chairs.

The PCW Arena erupted into chaos as bodies flew everywhere. Johnny Suave ducked under a wayward chair, his perfectly coiffed hair narrowly avoiding disaster.

“Unbelievable!” Suave shouted into his headset. “The Progressive Alliance turned this main event into an all-out war!”

Colleen Crowder’s eyes gleamed with excitement. “It’s about time someone put Blackwell in his place. The Progressive Alliance was simply restoring order to PCW.”

Suave shot her an incredulous look. “Restoring order? They’re destroying the ring! And look – the American Heartland Coalition and American Patriots have joined the fray!”

As fists and elbows flew, Suave’s mind raced. This is what PCW was all about – raw emotion, unbridled chaos. But he had to maintain some semblance of control.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are out of time!” Suave yelled over the din. “But join us next week for a huge main event – Tim Walz versus J.D. Vance!”

Crowder interjected, “Walz will wipe the floor with that Heartland hack!”

“We’ll see about that,” Suave retorted. “This is Johnny Suave signing off from what’s left of the PCW Arena. Goodnight everyone!”

Island Dreams and Rainforest Escapes: My Favorite Places in the Caribbean and Central America

Some places speak to the heart, drawing you in with their rhythm, warmth, and beauty. The Caribbean and Central America hold some of the most unforgettable landscapes and vibrant cultures, each destination offering a unique story. Whether it's the lush rainforests of Costa Rica or the sun-kissed beaches of Jamaica, these places are etched in my memory, leaving behind the kind of imprint you never quite shake. Here are four places that have captured my soul:

1. The Untamed Wilderness of Panama

Panama is a country where contrasts meet in the most extraordinary way. From the bustling modernity of Panama City’s skyscrapers to the ancient rainforests that seem to pulse with life, it’s a land of rich history and wild beauty. My favorite place? The unspoiled islands of Bocas del Toro. There's something truly magical about the turquoise waters, swaying palms, and colorful coral reefs. Days spent snorkeling in crystal-clear waters reveal a kaleidoscope of marine life, while evenings are about unwinding in a hammock, lulled by the soft crash of waves.

But it’s not just the islands that enchant me. Hiking through Boquete, nestled in the misty highlands, feels like stepping into another world. The air is cool, the coffee farms stretch out like a green quilt, and the roar of hidden waterfalls fills the forest. It's a place where adventure calls you at every turn, yet serenity is never far behind.

2. The Rhythmic Heartbeat of Jamaica

Ah, Jamaica — where the beat of reggae seems to blend with the pulse of the ocean. The island is alive with color, sound, and energy, but it also knows how to soothe the soul. Negril is my favorite spot, with its seven miles of powdery white sand stretching along the coast like a postcard come to life. The sunsets here are legendary, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink as you sip on fresh coconut water, toes buried in the warm sand.

Beyond the beaches, Jamaica’s spirit is found in its people and its music. A walk through the bustling streets of Kingston, where the sounds of Bob Marley echo from street corners, reminds me that Jamaica is more than just a paradise for sun-seekers; it’s a place where culture, history, and art breathe through every interaction. And when I need to escape the heat, a trip to Dunn’s River Falls — a cascading waterfall that you can actually climb — offers a refreshing adventure like no other.

3. The Tranquil Shores of Antigua

Antigua, with its 365 beaches, promises a new shoreline for every day of the year, but it's not just about the numbers. There’s a feeling of quiet serenity that washes over you as soon as you step foot on the island. My favorite? Half Moon Bay, with its sweeping crescent of pink-tinged sand and gentle waves lapping the shore. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time, lounging under palm trees and letting the world drift by.

What really makes Antigua special, though, is its history. Exploring Nelson’s Dockyard, a beautifully restored Georgian naval base, takes you back in time. You can almost hear the echo of sailors’ boots on the cobblestones and imagine ships anchored in the harbor centuries ago. Antigua’s laid-back vibe, coupled with its rich maritime past, makes it the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.

4. The Wild Wonders of Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a country that speaks to the adventurer in me. It’s a land where nature reigns supreme — where volcanoes loom in the distance, rainforests teem with wildlife, and beaches are kissed by both the Pacific and the Caribbean. The biodiversity here is unmatched, and every visit feels like stepping into a living, breathing nature documentary.

My favorite escape is the wild and rugged Osa Peninsula, one of the most biologically intense places on the planet. Here, you can hike through the dense jungles of Corcovado National Park, where howler monkeys swing through the trees and scarlet macaws flash like jewels against the green canopy. It’s a place that feels primal, untouched — where you’re reminded of the earth’s raw beauty with every step.

And then, there’s the peaceful side of Costa Rica. In Monteverde, I’ve wandered through cloud forests where the mist clings to the leaves and the world feels hushed, like nature is whispering secrets you’re lucky enough to overhear. It’s a place that invites introspection, where every breath feels like a communion with the natural world.

These places — Panama, Jamaica, Antigua, and Costa Rica — are more than destinations on a map. They are experiences, feelings, and memories. Each one offers something different: the adventure of the jungle, the peace of the beach, the rhythm of a city, or the quiet beauty of history. They’ve taught me that the world is vast and full of wonder, and I know I’ll return to these places again, seeking that familiar sense of awe.

What about you? What places call you back, time and time again?

Idk what that anon saw but a friend of my sister saw lizzie at one of her screening in LA at Linwood Dunn Theater this 14th (idk if she's referring to that day where she's wearing a long sleeve white blouse and a black short shorts) and she told us that she's wearing a wedding ring and there's a video of her as well during interview.

Hey anon,

Yeah, I think the other anon just saw a post and was curious about it. I'm seeing stuff all of the time about that damn Scarlet Witch movie that might never happen 😭 And who wouldn't be curious about divorce rumors? I mean, I think we all have our fingers crossed to have a chance at having a relationship with Elizabeth Olsen haha

But anyway she was wearing what?? 👀
