Someone Please Save Me From Men in Face Paint!
| A little post-match celebratory picture with my tag team partner, Vain. I wasn't quite sure about his name
until I got a chance to hang out with him for a little while. (This was my first time teaming up with him.) We didn't really get to talk about strategy before the match
because the guy spent two hours in front of a mirror trying to get his make up "just right." I literally had to pull him away from the mirror and drag him
upstairs while the referee was counting us out of the ring before the match had even begun! Now Vain is a pretty good wrestler when he is focused on the contest, but unlike most grapplers who actually try to win occasionally, this guy spent most of his time kissing his biceps, rearranging his hair and doing goofy little dances whenever he had his opponent down. When his counterpart got him him in a hold, Vain's concerns seemed mostly to revolve around his personal grooming or trying to tag me in so he could stand out on the ring apron rearranging his outfit or something. Vain nearly managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory several times that night but fortunately I was able to gut out a win for our side. I wanted to bodyslam Vain while I was at it for making things so difficult but I figured the best thing was to take the win and move on, since I will probably have to team up again with this weirdo in the future. Oh, Merciful God, I know I probably don't deserve it but please please please save me from wrestlers who wear face paint! |
