💀 NO MERCY WRESTLING LEGENDS 💀

While Kendra was the farthest thing from a Tanya Redd fan, she had to admit to herself that she enjoyed seeing Tanya working over Abby. Though Fiona had always been the main target for the Beatifics, Kendra had suffered her own share of torment at their hands as well. Abby Beatific red-faced and writhing in pain against an imposing - and smirking - Tanya was as demeaning for her as it was physically painful. And Kendra and Fiona were savoring every second.

Abby finally managed to slip her trapped arm free and fired off a series of sharp elbow shots to Tanya’s forehead, forcing her to release the submission hold. Gasping for breath, Abby crumpled to the mat and tried to crawl toward the ropes, but Tanya was on top of her again before she made it far. Tanya hammered down a few clubbing blows to the back of Abby’s head to stun her, then grabbed a fistful of hair and hauled Abby upright.

Tanya dragged the dazed Beatific to her feet and quickly threaded Abby’s head under her arm. In one smooth motion she scooped Abby up high into a vertical position. Abby kicked weakly, twisting and squirming in a desperate attempt to escape but Tanya had her balanced perfectly. Taking a steadying step, Tanya tightened her grip and then dropped swiftly into a sitting position, driving Abby head-first with a thunderous Falcon Arrow that rattled the canvas and drew a roar from the crowd.

“There it is, Falcon Arrow!” Brent shouted as Abby’s limp legs flopped down against the mat.

“Is this it?” Dan Rich asked in a dramatic tone.

Tanya did not release Abby, instead using the momentum from the finisher to roll her opponent onto her back, Tanya pinning Abby’s shoulders for the count.

“One!… Two!… Th-…”

Abby just barely managed to push herself upright, forcing an annoyed Tanya off as a sigh carried across the arena.

“And Abby only just survives the count after a wicked finisher by Tanya!” Dan Rich stated.

Video Game Discussion: Part IV (The Gaming Industry in Decay Arc)

I recently purchased and played through Dragon Age : The Veilguard after avoiding it for so long. (Due to all the drama and endless negative talk about it.)

After eighty hours of playtime my honest rating of The Veilguard is a 5/10.
Certainly not acceptable for what was once a top tier fantasy franchise mind you, but the flaming hate train was so overcharged.

The Veilguard is definitely an even split of pros and cons and I still would not recommend buying unless it is on sale. But it was good to give it an honest chance and appreciate the upsides. 💯 (Even though I am salty that it was essentially the last game in what was one of my favorite RPG series.)

Book Quotes

“Finally, in times when the class struggle nears the decisive
hour, the process of dissolution going on within the ruling
class, in fact within the whole range of society assumes such a
violent, glaring character, that a small section of the ruling
class cuts itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class, the
class that holds the future in its hands. Just as, therefore, at
an earlier period, a section of the nobility went over to the
bourgeoisie, so now a portion of the bourgeoisie goes over to the
proletariat, and in particular, a portion of the bourgeois
ideologists, who have raised themselves to the level of
comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole.”

The Communist Manifesto,
Karl Marx

Kendra said nothing, preferring not to entertain a conversation that might drift into the lane of thought that Fiona had “ruined” everyone having ringside support for the rest of the tournament. Fiona was already feeling self-conscious enough after being scolded by Diana Deguara.

Come to think of it, Uberto Cafrune was not ringside for Elina Zamora earlier.

After the referee completed the standard checks, the bell rang and the match that would determine Fiona’s opponent for next weekend began. The fight started slowly. Abby tried her typical mind games with Tanya but she quickly realized that tactic was not the best idea. After striking an unflattering pose in Tanya’s direction, Abby found herself chased around the ring by her thoroughly steamed opponent. The two slid under the ropes outside the ring and seconds later were exchanging wild punches and stinging chops near the south-side barricade. Caught up in a furious exchange, women barely made it back inside the ring before the ten count.

Abby had not even come up to a full stand before Tanya grabbed her and drove her into the mat with a high rising sidewalk slam that drew the crowd’s approval. Tanya followed up with a sharp snap suplex, then capped the sequence with a German suplex for good measure. As the German suplex landed, Tanya arched into a bridge for a quick pin. Abby managed to kick free just before the two count. Brent, of course, was eating it up, laying on the praise as Tanya hauled Abby back up and sent her back hard with a second German suplex.

Abby,” Kendra mumbled through a mouth half-stuffed with candy, “the Beatifics’ biggest weapon is their mind games and… grating toxicity. Take that away from them and their arsenal gets pretty limited.”

After another commercial break it was time for the fourth match of the night —the anticipated clash between Abby Beatific and Tanya Redd. Like Fiona and Kendra, both were NMWW “carryovers.” Abby Beatific and her sister, Aubrey, had undoubtedly been Fiona’s biggest enemies since her early wrestling days. Calling the Beatifics a thorn in Fiona’s side would have been an understatement. From their constant needling in and out of the ring to their vile makeover stunt on Fiona back in Florida the previous year, the two had proven themselves the worst kind of rivals. Great for a wrestling company that thrived on excitement and drama, and terrible for anyone the Beatifics set their sights on.

Then there was Tanya Redd, the former National Guard heavy hitter. While she wasn’t the “mean girl” figure that Abby Beatific was, Tanya could be just as relentless and callous - more so even. When Tanya Redd stepped into an arena, she came for a hard fight and saved the showboating for the moment when her arm was raised high and her opponent lay curled up on the mat. Fiona had faced Tanya twice the previous year and lost both times. But Fiona had come a long way since then and while Abby would clearly be the preferred opponent during the extreme rules round, Kendra had no doubt that Fiona could beat Tanya. Kendra voicing this just as the titantron on TV lit up with camo patterns and skulls as Tanya Redd’s theme began.
