It's like watching a comic book come to life—good vs. evil, hero vs. villain. How have I never been into wrestling before?
The match has a hasty start, and the ref has to tuck and roll out of the way when Talia Tanner runs full speed and slides under the bottom rope into the ring. Margeaux waits in the middle of the ring, waving Talia over, taunting her, baiting her. The two women lock up, gripping each other behind the neck, pushing and pulling against one another. Margeaux has the size on her opponent, but it’s clear, Talia is strong, and is going to give a good fight.
Margeaux easily throws Talia to the floor, then grabs the back of Talia’s head, by the root of her dark blonde hair, and repeatedly slams Talia’s face into the floor of the ring. Three, four, five times! I know thisisn’t real, but thathasto hurt, right? I mean, it really looks like Margeaux is truly slamming Talia’s face into the floor.
Talia rolls away from Margeaux, her face buried in her hands. Margeaux works the crowd, waving her arms to signal for them to get louder. They cheer as Margeaux climbs to the top rope and my heart is in my throat as she flies through the air, aiming to flop on Talia. Except, Talia rolls away at the last second and Margeaux belly flops on the ground, and now it’s her turn to groan and clutch her face. A piece of me feels her pain and I flinch, touching my own face in sympathy. I really hope she isn’t hurt, that she’s just very good at acting.
Talia crawls across the ring, pulls herself up using the ropes, and manages to get to her feet before Margeaux. Talia uses the ropes to give her extra momentum so she can slingshot into Margeaux just as she’s getting to her knees. Margeaux falls flat on her back, and now it’s Talia’s turn to work the crowd. She gets on the floor, and holds Margeaux down. The ref slams her palm against the floor and the crowd counts with her. Talia only manages to hold Margeaux down for a one-count before Margeaux bucks her hips up, and then grabs Talia by the back of the neck. Talia starts squealing, trying to smack Margeaux’s hand away from her hair. Margeaux gets up from the floor, still gripping Talia’s hair tightly. Oh, wait. It’s not her hair, it’s herear!Margeaux is gripping and twisting Talia’s ear like you would an insolent child.
I’m all too familiar with how painful that is.
Margeaux slaps Talia across the face, sending Talia to the floor. Margeaux takes advantage of her position and kicks Talia in the stomach so hard it has Talia rolling under the ropes, and she falls off the ring and onto the outside floor.
Holy shit! This is such a great match!
“Come on, Margeaux!” I shout to the TV, hoping my soundwaves make their way to her pierced ears.
Talia tries to get to her feet but is wobbly and keeps collapsing to the floor. I didn’t even notice Margeaux climb to the top rope and now she jumps off and crashes into Talia just as she gets to her feet. Both women go crashing to the floor, Talia taking the brunt of the force.
I’m sweating, gripping the edge of my couch. This is amazing.She is amazing.
Margeaux gets up, the black booty shorts have ridden up and are showing so much of her juicy butt cleavage.FUUUUCK.She grabs Talia by the nape of her neck and tosses her into the ring. Talia gets up and to her feet before Margeaux is finished climbing in.
Talia slams Margeaux’s face into the corner of the ring and pulls her to the center of the ring before Margeaux can fall backwards. Talia grabs Margeaux’s arm by the wrist and whips her across the ring, sending Margeaux to the opposite corner, her back slamming into the padded area.
The crowd is so loud through the TV, I feel like I’m there.
“Finish it, Margeaux! Come on, you got this, Beautiful!” I surprise myself with my outburst, but I don’t have the attention span to analyze it.
Talia runs full speed at Margeaux and collides into her. Margeaux groans from the impact and slumps into the corner of the ring, her arms propped on the top ropes to keep her upright.
“Come on, Baby!”
Talia gears up to slam into Margeaux again, but Margeaux surprises everyone by hitting Talia with a fucking Spartan kick to the stomach.How are these women not bloody and broken??I’d be on my back, begging for mercy if I were there.
Talia stays on her feet, clutching her stomach in the center of the ring. Margeaux takes two confident strides over and grabs Talia’s face in both hands so that she’s facing Margeaux. Margeaux sends an air kiss to Talia before she throws a tornado kick into Talia’s chest. For such a tall and muscular woman, Margeaux shows such impressive levels of grace and coordination. My jaw is on the floor.
“What was that move?!” One of the announcers shouts.
“I dunno, Mitch. But it has Talia Tanner spinning until she’s so dizzy that she’s falling to the floor and can’t get up,” the second announcer says.
“That looks like Margeaux Wild’s new finisher, the chaos kick.”
I smile as I watch Margeaux pin Talia and the crowd chants her name when the ref slams her hand down for the count of three.
Margeaux jumps up and holds her hands over her head with pride. She turns around and holds her hand out for Talia. Talia tentatively accepts it, but stays in a kneeling position. The ref hands Margeaux the microphone.
Still breathing heavily, she speaks into the mic, “You were a great opponent today, Tanner.” She pauses and the crowd applauds Talia. “But, why are we fighting each other when there are bigger threats out there?” Talia cocks her head to the side, not understanding what Margeaux is saying. “Join me. Let’s bring more chaos to the world and take the championship for ourselves.”
Talia looks around, unsure what to say or do. Margeaux is asking her to become a villain, to change sides. There’s no way Talia will say yes. The announcers were talking about how Talia is about taking down the Below Zero team.
“I will follow you, Queen of Chaos.” Talia bows and the crowd is going crazy with what just happened.
“You better be scared, Glam Squad! The Queen of Chaos is coming for you!” Margeaux says into the camera.
The television cuts to a commercial break and I’m left feeling dazed and confused like I was the one in the ring who just promised my unending devotion to Margeaux. I need to see her again.
