Here's the story of Bertha Hippo, of her telling the story of her though her perspective. Hope you guys enjoy the story. Bertha, Katrina, Kaze and Enorma are all owned by Kazecat
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wrestling is one of the greatest, most entertaining sports of all time. It was my
dream to become one. There's two things about it that hooked me in immediately, both are the larger than life personalities that wrestles every week and the ringwork that those guys do that inspired me to chase my dreams of being a sexy wrestling queen.
How's it going. I'm Bertha Hippo, and a large hippo with a lot of charm and wrestling skill in this body. I first got into wrestling via my friend and rival Enorma Pig, a tough pig from Texas and can kick your butt very well, and look good in those jeans, seriously that girl got good taste.
She was a pretty great wrestler in her spare time when she isn't collecting guns and being an engineer, like she has over 300 guns, That's a lot. I'm a little impressed.
Anyways, Enorma taught me all the stuff about wrestling. She tought me all the stuff that goes into being an amazing pro wrestler. Number one is personality. I'm a tough but cool Hippo that is writty, sassy and funny, and with my big body, I had this aspect in spades.
Number Two is Look. I also have one down. I have a chubby but quite good looking bod, my belly isn't to large and I have a pretty attractive face and nice flowing green hair. Not to mention my lovely purple skin and peach underbelly, yeah I was blessed pretty well with this one. And my wrestling singlet is simple, yet effective.
And Number Three is most importantly is wrestling skill. I'm not the best wrestler in the world I have to be quite honest with you all, but I am pretty good. Whenever another wrestler lands a good move, I can sell the impact rather convincingly, making it look like I took heavy damage. And I can suplex and slam my opponent with ease, and I did it with quick for a woman of my size.
All these things, was with the help of Enorma and i'm very thankful for her. Sometimes I practice my wrestling techniques with Enorma and vice versa for her. our skills have gotten better and better with each time. Hey Enorma, if your reading this story. Thanks for helping me become the wrestler I ever dreamed of, and i'm happy that we are friends.
After sometime, me and Enorma met with this cat named Kaze. Kaze was also a big wrestling fan. We became friend not just because he loves wrestling, but because he sees my potential in wrestling. He sees me as an up-and-coming wrestler that can be a mega star. Kaze's big project is his own wrestling league called T.A.W, aka the Tornado Association of Wrestling.
It was his dream to make a his wrestling league to showcase a ton of gifted and talented wrestlers from all walks of life. It's was a brilliant idea, and Kaze was a genius when it comes to inventing a wrestling show that can entertain it's fans with awesome matches, brilliant promos and a great atmosphere. There's just one tiny problem, one little bitesize issue with this. He didn't hire any wrestlers aside from me and Enorma. Both of us are the first wrestlers of this up-and-coming wrestling show, and Kaze was fine with this.
Now I know what all of you are thinking right now, Bertha, why is Kaze fine with having only 2 Wrestlers in his league. Well you have to think of this in Kaze's perspective. Kaze only to develop his little league, he only started making a wrestling show. But seeing my and Enorma's potential starpower, he wants to start tiny and work his way up. Only do wrestling matches at local house shows of me and Enorma duking it out in the ring to build interest and show these matches online. That way it can gain a small but dedicated fanbase and hopefully get more talent in the promotion, and book in bigger and more fancier venue.
Me, Enorma and Kaze sat on a table in Kaze's house and discuss on creating a logo for TAW "Ok guys, if we are gonna do this, we need to eye-catching logo. Something that screams we are the hot new thing in professional wrestling." I said. We then all think on what the logo should look like. Enorma decided on a stylish logo that's slick and cool. Kaze then said "Well, that's that taking care of."
And so after more preparations, we booked a local small house show in a small arena in Texas, where Enorma and Kaze were born and raised. about 400 people sat to watch me and Enorma wrestle. Before the match, I saw Enorma sitting down on a bench in the locker room. "Hey, a little nervous are you." Said Enorma.
"A little, but it's nothing i can't handle. That's what being a wrestler is, to entertain the crowd." I said to Enorma, and she said "Yeah, i'd never thought i wrestle in my home state. I can't let them down." Enorma wants to give the people of Texas an unforgettable show. Mind you, Enorma even though she did wrestling training in her spare time. She only wrestled in i think 12 shows.
"Well, always give your best." I said and give Enorma a nice thumbs up, boosting her confidence. "Thank Bertha. Ok let's go." She said, and we both head to the entrance hall, and make our debut.
First to come out was Enorma. who was wrestling in the same jeans as she always wears outside the ring. Enorma makes a great entrance, wearing her cowboy hat.
She then takes off her cowboy hat, and twirls it around her finger, and with one giant "Are you ready!" She throws it high into the sky, and Enorma puts her hand in the air and catches the hat with a confident look on her face.
She walks down the ramp. High fiving many people as she walks to the ring. She then enters the ring and flexes her right bicep and then said "This is Texas tough for ya!", i think see was trying to have that be her wrestling catchphrase, i think it was neat.
And then, it was my turn, and man what a first impression i made to the crowd. I came out to the funkiest pop song, and i was dancing on the stage, and i got the moves. I made a great first impression to the fans, and I walked down that ramp like I was in a fashion show. Kaze who was watching the match in his own fan was impressed that I can engage with the fans in my own way.
And then I go inside the ring. I gave Enorma a handshake because its good sportsman ship. The bell rings and we did a test of strength, i overcome Enorma's strength and did a belly to belly Suplex on her.
Enorma got back up and got in her punches and kicks on me. and on the last kick, i grabbed her leg and the a dragon screw to counter it. Then i did a little elbow drop, and was going to do a leg drop but Enorma got back up quickly.
Back in the van, Kaze was impressed by our wrestling skills and he said "Wow, these two are pretty good. Let's see what else these two have got." In a way, this match is like a final exam for me. To see how much I've learned from Enorma's brand of teaching. Meanwhile a Certain little Crocodile was watching the match by the sidelines. More on her later.
But back to the match. Me and Enorma continue to wrestle, and the crown was loving my every move. I did a Dropkick on Enorma, man that was awesome. Enorma did a Bodyslam, and then puts both her hands in the sky, one finger on each hand pointing up, and she runs to the rope, and did a springboard body splash on me.
She almost pinned me for the 3 count, but when the referee was just about to say three, i got out of it, and then began my comeback. First i did 2 German Suplexes on Enorma, and the picked her back up. She was groggy, and that leads to my finishing move. The Bertha Powerbomb, a move i came up with.
Here's how i did it, first a grab the opponent and and their heads bent down and placed between my legs, then i lift the opponent high in the air, then i rotate 360 degrees and slam the opponent onto the mat and pin the opponent. It was a personal favourite of mine, and one i'm quite proud of myself.
I pinned Enorma for the 1,2,3. I have won the first match of my Pro wrestling career. After the match, i picked up Enorma, and she said "You have come a long way. I'm so proud of you. You are going to be a future legend someday." We then hugged each other to the ovation of the crowd.
Meanwhile Kaze was Ethusiastic over my match with Enorma. "I have never seen as talented as Bertha before. She's amazing, just as good as Enorma. Looks like TAW as a bright future ahead."
Backstage, me and Enorma was walking back to the locker room, talking about how well i did in the match. "Man, that was incredible. You never disappoint me Bertha. You were awesome in the match." Enorma said, who was very happy at me."
"Thanks Enorma, and thanks for teaching me." I said, and we gave each other a fist bump. And has we got into the looker room, we see a Crocodile in the locker room.
"Well, Bertha. That was quite the performance you had, you had the crown chanting your name." Said the Crocodile lady, but then I remembered her face and then said "Katrina?"
"Yep that's me. Katrina, the ultimate crocodile wrestler from Louisiana, the true queen of the ring." said Katrina. Now Katrina was a wrestler from the south, Louisiana to be exact, that have two ponytails, green lipstick and a big mouth. I'm serious she's like the master of talking about random stuff.
But there's something else about her and me that i want to tell you. Our parents hate each other. Our familes were popular wrestlers in their own rights, especially Slim, my brother. but Katrina's parents were great wrestlers mind you, but we were more popular than they were, so because of that, Katrina's family became jealous that we were hogging the spotlight from them and became bitter rivals to my family.
It's honestly pretty sad really. But that rivalry bleeds into my relationship with Katrina. She became jealous of me and my up and coming wrestling career and will do anything to be famous.
Katrina notices Enorma standing besides me "Oh you must be Enorma. I'm flattered that we got to meet." she said. Enorma crosses her arms and say to Katrina "Howdy." she said in a monotone voice, like she's unimpressed by her.
"So Bertha. You had a great match out there. The crown was chanting your name loudly." Katrina said, but then she said this "That should of been me in the ring. Not a loser like you." Me and Enorma was taking a back by her words, i then said "Katrina, why did you have to say that." and then Katrina grinned.
"Because your a joke, I'm a better wrestler than you, you're just a pretty face and nothing else. If there's anyone that should have been in the ring wrestling Enorma for TAW's first ever match, it's me." Katrina said. She was still jealous of me. And Enorma said to her "Look i don't know much about your rivalry, in fact this is the first time i ever heard about it. But that's not a reason to bully Bertha like that."
But she then said "Sorry Enorma nobody cares. Anyways back on topic, Bertha, you wrestling skills are mediocre at best. I got pretty bored watching you wrestling, it's like watching paint dry." Enorma was about to kick her butt and she keep going.
"Unlike me, Your just a joke who thinks shes an awesome wrestler. Just leave wrestling to the superstars like me, because unlike me, you're nothing." And i had enough of her. I just wanted her to leave.
I didn't lash out at her, i didn't attacked her, i'm not a bully. So instead i simply said "Katrina, you need to leave, right now.", but then Katrina said "Aww, is the big hippo gonna cry. Is she sad that she's never as good as me."
"GET OUT!!" Enorma shouted and opens the door. "Fine, i'll go but this isn't over. just remember Bertha, i'm better than you in ever possible way." Katrina said and walks away and chuckles to herself.
I sat down on the bench. "Bertha. Are you ok hun?" Enorma said. and then i said "Yeah, i just can't believe she's still jealous of me. One of these days i wished she be a bit more mature and not wanting me to fail."
"Yeah, i know. I just hope i never see her again." Enorma said, then i said "Me too." I just didn't like Katrina's personality. She just came off as, oh what's the word for it, it's on the tip of my tongue, oh yeah, a massive jerk. But she wasn't done oh no. She had to do something extra let's just say.
As Kaze goes to congratulate us on preforming a wrestling classic, he walks past Katrina and she made eye contact with him. "You must be Kazecat, I've heard so much about you." She said.
"Well I am the guy who's kickstarting a pro wrestling league of my own. A league of exceptional talent from all walks of life. I think you could be a megastar in my company." Kaze said. And I opened door after I got changed back into my regular clothes and notice Kaze talking to Katrina. Me and Enorma then walked to Kaze.
"Well giving that you have Bertha in your company i'm guessing it's not worth going to." Katrina said, just to get under my skin, and did a mischievous grin and then said "And i think she's a very horrible wrestler. They have no talent, no style. Just nothing stand out about them. Quite frankly i'm surprised Bertha is one of your first wrestlers in this promotion. It really shows why your promotion will never get off the ground."
Kaze, me and Enorma was shocked and hurt by her comments, me the most. She then did a smug grin like she's in the right, but she wasn't. Even if this is about the rivalry of my family and hers, and me and her this was not a kind thing to say. She just came of as fill of it.
Enorma filled with anger towards Katrina grabs her and picks her up and said to her "You really tick me off. I've seen some mean people in my time, but you are the most annoying, most cruel and the most arrogant one of them all." but Katrina then said "Seriously, i'm just saying Bertha is a joke, just like the rest of her family."
Enorma was about to slam Katrina to the ground, but I stopped her and then said "Enorma, i'll handle this." Enorma then said "Ok Bertha." and lets go of Katrina.
I looked at Katrina and said "Katrina, I know you think you're doing this for your family, and i'm sorry that your family are now as famous as our family. But that's not an excuse to go and talk trash about my wrestling. You need to let it go and move on." Katrina got very angry at me. In a bit of rage she said "Just shut up. You don't what it's like to be in the shadows of someone great. I'll prove you all that I deserve to me just as famous as your family Bertha." and with tears rolling down on her eyes, then said "I'll show you all that i'm great! You'll see Bertha, you'll all see!" and she runs off.
I stand there and Kaze comes up to me and said "Bertha, are you ok?" then I looked at Kaze and said "Yeah, sorry for that whole thing."
Enorma being the awesome friend that she is puts her hand on my right shoulder and said to me "It's ok Bertha. I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself. We'll be here for you whenever you need us to talk about your problems." Then me, Kaze and Enorma then hugged it out. "Thanks guys, you're the best." I said.
Meanwhile Katrina still crying has made it outside in the rain, and then make a vow to herself "Bertha. I'll become the best wrestler ever. I'll be a star in the ring and you'll see." and slams her fist on the ground and growls and then yells "I'LL BE THE BEST!!!"
And for the next couple of days we did a couple more house shows and me and Enorma wrestled each time. And I just kept getting better and better, to the point that it's second nature to me. I used so many new moves in my arsenal, like a camel clutch, a clothesline and a Full nelson Slam.
Meanwhile Katrina was practicing her wrestling skills, pushing herself to her very limits to be better than me. "I must surpass Bertha. I must be the best." she said, slightly out of breath and then lie down on the mat in the wrestling ring in her back garden to catch her breath.
While she was lying there, she was thinking about the words i said to her. For the first time in her life she felt like she's a loser. "I wanted this rivalry to end as much as you do Bertha. In a way, i'm actually proud of you for becoming a pro-wrestler." She said to herself, and then sits up and then said "But i want to beat you and prove to you that i'm great." Katrina then lets out a sign "Oh well, i guess it's never meant to be."
Katrina then had an idea. She got out the wrestling ring and inside her home, and calls me on her phone. Yeah she had my phone number back then, I guess she really wanted us to be friends.
Back at home I want sitting down on the sofa wearing a dressing gown and watching some crime dramas on TV while eating a bowl of popcorn, but then I heard of phone ringing and I answered the phone. "Hello. Katrina!" I said, being surprised that she called me.
"Hey Bertha, I wanted to say i'm sorry for what I did back then." She said.
I was a little confused, so I said to her "Your sorry?". This was the first time I ever heard Katrina said she's sorry in all my life. "That seriously is a surprise."
Katrina then said "Yes, I am sorry. What I did back then was wrong, I shouldn't have said all those mean things to you back then. And you're right I need to let go and move on, I can't live like this. And to be honest, I didn't want it to be like this. I blame my parents for being jealous, that would to be as popular as you are. And yeah i'm popular in Louisiana, and I thought about it for a little bit, and i'm ok with that."
I had a hard time processing what she said. "Sorry I stopped listening after you said you can't live like this." And then Katrina said "If you want to settle this rivalry once and for all, let me wrestle you in TAW. I want to end this stupid rivalry our families have on my own terms. I would to prove to myself that i'm great as I am." She was pulling all her heart out in this one. I sighed and then said "Ok, i'll see what I can do. Let's settle the score."
Katrina said "Thank you. I'll see you then." and she hangs up the phone, and I sighed yet again and then said "What have I gotten myself into."
So after I got dressed and grabbed my handbag, I went over to Kaze's house. It wasn't that far, it was only 3 blocks down. After a short walk I knock on Kaze's door.
Kaze opens his door "Hello Bertha" he said, and I then said to him "Hi Kaze. I got a phone call from Katrina. She said she's sorry about what she did a while back and she wants to end this rivalry by wrestling me in TAW."
Kaze then said "How about you come in and tell me more about it." Then I went inside his house and he said "Wanna take a seat while I make you a drink?", I said "I would like that" and I then sit on Kaze's couch, and was making myself at home. Kaze then asked me "What would you like to drink?"
"Some water would be nice." I said and he gave me a thumbs up and goes to the kitchen to get some water for us to drink while we chat. A little bit later Kaze entered his living room with a tray with 2 cups and a jug of water on it, and placed it on the table. Kaze then pours the water into the cups and gives me one of the cups and said "Here you go."
I took a sip of water and said "Ahhh. Gotta love a simple but effective drink." Kaze smiles, and then takes his cup of water and sit next to me and said "Tell me all about this rivalry you two have. I need to know more so I can help you with this."
I breathed in and breathed out and said to Kaze in great detail "My family is famous for their wrestling brilliants. My mom always tells me all her amazing achievements in books detailing our successes, but Katrina's family were jealous that they are not as popular as my family. Back then, me and Katrina used to be friends, I can remember all the fun times I had when we watch wrestling together, those were fun. But then her mother found out that she's friends with a member of my family and berates for hanging out with me." and as I said that last part, Kaze said "That's not good."
And then I said "Yeah, well it gets worst. She felt like she was treated like crap because she was friends with me. She had self doubts about our friendship, like I was holding her back. And found out from the news that my brother Slim became a part of a crime gang, she suddenly thought that my family was actually flawed. And goes to stop him, but found me instead. I was a little upset that my brother is joining a crime boss. She comfort me, but then my mom and dad came, and she was told that she will never be as successful as they were. My dad even said to her that Bertha is a better wrestler than me. Those words hurt Katrina. And she screams loudly and said to my parents "Well if you guys are better, why don't you just show me." And Katrina was going to bodyslam Dad before I go and stop those two from fighting."
Kaze then said "And what happened after that." And I sighed and then said "She started to think I was better than her. She became jealous, and our friendship was over, she said "I'll prove to you all that I have what it takes to make it in pro wrestling. I'll show you all that our family that i'm better than all of you combined. And Bertha, we are through. Later." And she walked off, and I was left crying. I lost a friend and blamed my Mom and Dad for their stupid rivalry and I ran off, thinking about the nice times me and Katrina had, tainted by her own actions."
"I was left sitting by a tree, sobbing. But then my own mother said "Bertha, we're sorry about what happened." and then I said "Why did you have to do this? We were the best of friends, and I lost her, because of this rivalry. Why can't you guys just get along already." My Mom really felt sorry for what her and my father did and sits right next to me under the tree. She then said "Bertha I know your mad at us for the rivalry we have with Katrina's family. In a way, I was happy you had Katrina in your life. We're sorry for letting this rivalry start in the first place."
"I said to her "You are?" and she said "But i'm proud of you for not letting this silly rivalry get in the way of your friendship with Katrina for as long as you can. Someday this rivalry will end and you and Katrina will be friends again." And wiped my tears and said to her "You really think so?" and Mom smiles and said "I'm sure. Just know that i'm always here for you babygirl." and I smiled with tears in my eyes and said to Mom "Thanks Mom for being their for me. And i'm sorry for not stopping Slim from becoming a villain." And then me and Mom cuddle under the tree as rain poured in, and Mom said "I know."
It's also worth noting that Katrina was watching me and my Mom have this talk. Katrina felt sad that she ended our friendship like that. "I'm sorry Bertha, but I need to do this for my family." And then tears rolled down her eyes and she said "I wished that it didn't have come to this. It was all my parents fault." and she punches a walk and cries. She was generally sorry for what she did, and wished that this rivalry would end. I feel very bad for her.
"That's awful. This rivalry had destroyed your friendship." Said Kaze who felt sad that our friendship ended like this. He felt like this rivalry needs to end for Katrina.
"I know. If she wants this rivalry between our families to end, then we'll do what we can to end it on our own terms. Because deep down, I don't want her to suffer because of our families hating each other. Our friendship ended because of this so we must end it." I said. Just then Enorma comes in the house and she saw me and Kaze chatting, "Hey guys, what are you two doing." she said and Kaze said "Talking about Katrina wrestling with Bertha in TAW to end their families rivalry."
Enorma looked a bit concerned about all this, honestly I can't really blame her after what Katrina did. "I don't know guys, this might end in disaster." and the Enorma sighs, and then said "But if this will stop Katrina from being mean than I guess I'll do anything I can to make this rivalry end."
"Thanks Enorma." I said to her and then she said "That's what friends are for, we help each other with their problems and do their best to resolve them."
Kaze then told Enorma to get my and Katrina's parents to watch their match. Enorma said "Ok Kaze, you can count on me." And she goes out and find both our parents.
Meanwhile Me and Kaze went to a small arena in between a large convenience store and a delicious Chinese restaurant. In fact can I just say. That Chinese restaurant is so good. The rice is cooked to perfection, the noodles taste amazing and the prices a good, In fact I got some dumplings for only $1.99, amazing.
Anyways back to the story. With the ring set up and 2 hours until showtime, we waited outside for Katrina. Kaze grabbing an apple while he waits for the guest of honour, then after 30 minutes, she arrived.
"Bertha, it's great to see you." She said and we shaked hands. It was the first time in a long time that we greeted each other like this. It's kinda heartwarming in a sense. And Katrina saw Kaze and then said "Look Kaze, i'm sorry I insuited your company and Bertha. I just hope you find it in your heart to forgive me for that stupid mistake." She said. Kaze then said "I forgive you. And don't worry we are going to end this together." Katrina smiles. I got to be honest, it a charming smile.
"Anyways, let's get changed ready for the match." I said and we head to the locker room and get changed for our big match. I was the first to get changed, and i came out in my wrestling singlet, "Man i love this getup." i said to myself and then i waited for Katrina get changed.
Katrina then comes out of the locker room, wearing her elbow pads, gloves, shorts and her admittingly, her pretty awesome looking bra, the one with the fangs. It's fit her whole look, like a ferocious beast about to strike you at a moments notice. It's makes her look like a complete badass. I can always appreciate some cool clothes when i see it, and man do i vibe with our wrestling outfit.
"So, are you ready to settle the score?" Asked Katrina, and i answered her by saying "Heck yeah i'm ready" i said and we head to the entrance hall. 400 people packed the arena. And in the crowd was me and Katrina's family sitting next to each other to see us wrestle. Enorma goes to greet us and said "I wish you two good luck." And both me and Katrina nod to her and Kaze and Enorma watches the match backstage.
First i make my entrance, the same dancing i do as i make my way to the ring. And then Katrina makes her entrance. And she lets out a loud "YEAH!!", and she then makes her way to the ring, looking confident and ready to go.
She then walks up the ringside stairs and goes inside the ring and we both see out parents watching us. The have front row seats to our big matches "There they are, our parents." said Katrina as we look in the crown to see our parents, and then see looks at me, "Bertha, don't hold back, because i'm not going to either."
And then i nodded and then the bell rings, and right away Katrina was attacking me with knife edge chops and a toe kick. And then she grappled me, but then i reversed that and did a backbreaker move. "Ok, now we are talking." Katrina said, who already knows that this match is gonna be great.
Katrina jumps back on her feet and swipes me with her tail and i fell down on the mat and Katrina does a Moonsault on me. Then i got back up, and did a small kick, followed by a double axe handle and then did my Belly to Belly on her, but Katrina did a handstand and got back up. I was a little surprised that she did that, Katrina was one acrobatic Croc i'll tell ya.
She ran towards me and striked me with a a Flying Elbow. I hear my Mom saying "Keep going you two. Forget the rivalry, and have fun." and then Katrina's dad shouted "Yeah, end this rivalry. It gone on long enough." And with the support of them, i then grabbed her and did a scoop slam on her, and slammed her on the mat. "If you think my other moves were graceful, the best is yet to come." And then using her legs, she grabs my head with her legs. Pushes herself up, and then did a hurricanrana on me. That pumped up the crown, even our parents, with my dad saying "Woah, this Katrina lady is pretty good, almost as good as Bertha." and happily Katrina's mom said "Yeah, Bertha really is an amazing wrestling like Katrina. I'm glad we are seeing these to wrestle, it's so fun."
They saw us as equals. Both skilled, both talented and worked hard to perfect our wrestling skills. At long last, Katrina's parents appreciate me for my personality and technical mastery and my parents appreciate Katrina for her acrobatic moves and crazy attacks. The match continues as Katrina did a arm drag on me. Katrina shouts to the crowd "Are you ready for this!" and the crowd yelled out a big and rowdy "YEAH!"
It was time for Katrina to unleash her finisher on me, Crocodile's Fangs. She runs to the turnbuckle and leaps on top of it, and jumps as high as she can, and does a picture perfect moonsault on me and goes in for the pin. And she got the win via a 3 count. And the crowd was so loud. they loved the match so much, the storytelling, the drama and the wrestling in display.
When I stood up, I bring my hand towards her and said to her "Congratulations Katrina, you really are an amazing wrestler." and Katrina shook my hand and said "It was a lot of fun wrestling you." And then we hug.
Backstage we met up with Kaze and Enorma, and Kaze said "That was the most beautiful wrestling match I have ever seen in my life. You sure put on one hell of a show." Me and Katrina at each other and said "Yeah, It was a fun match. And i'm happy that we ended this rivalry." And suddenly our parents met up with them.
"Katrina, Bertha, we just want to say we are sorry for this whole thing. We did not mean to ruin your friendship." my Dad said.
"Katrina, it was our fault. I just hoped that you find it in your heart to forgive us." Katrina's Dad said, and then Katrina said to her dad "Don't worry Dad, that's in the past. Thanks for liking my match."
"We are so proud of you two. Katrina, your happy to wrestle in this company with Bertha if you want." Katrina's mom said.
But just then Katrina said "I'm sorry Mom and Dad, and i'm sorry Bertha, Kaze and Enorma, but I can't wrestle in your company. This was a one time deal." And yeah, we were a bit disappointed that Katrina isn't going to wrestle for us, but I do understand. We are only a tiny wrestling league, and if Katrina wants to gain fans and be just as popular as me, she needs to go to different other wrestling promotions to build a fanbase for her.
And then, I put my hand on her left shoulder and said to her "Well if we end up getting a big fanbase and become popular, your welcome to come here." And Katrina softly said to me "Thanks Bertha." And we all had a group hug of me, Katrina, Our parents, Enorma, and Kaze. It was the best feeling Katrina ever had in her life.
At the train station, me and Katrina was sitting on the bench waiting for Katrina's train back to Louisiana and we talk about things. "Bertha, this is the being of my own journey. My journey to become the best wrestler in Louisiana." said Katrina with pride in her eyes. "I'm sure you are going to be great Katrina." I said to her.
"Thanks. Anyways how's your brother?" Asked Katrina, and then I said to her "We don't talk all that much these days, with him join a crime gang. I don't know why he did it."
Katrina then puts her right hand on my left shoulder and said "Bertha, i'm sure you will make Slim become good. If you love miss him that much, be sure to say it to him when you two cross paths." I smiled to her comment and then said to her "I will, thanks Katrina." and then Katrina said "No problem."
And we heard Katrina's train stopped at the station, it was time for her to leave. "Well I better get going. Bertha just keep doing what you always do. and when we meet each other again, we'll have a rematch." she said.
"I'll be here when you are ready." And we both shared a fist pump and Katrina goes to her train, "Well, so long." Katrina said, and I then said "Take care Katrina." and as the train door close she waved goodbye and off she went back Louisiana.
Back at Enorma's ranch and I laying on the ground and looking at the sky. Enorma then sits next to me, "You miss her don't you?" said Enorma, she knows me for so long that she can tell if I feel sad.
"Yeah I do. She was an amazing wrestler and a great friend, but sometimes I can't stop and think of how much I miss her." I said to her.
"I know Bertha. I'm sure you'll see her again. And when TAW become more popular she'll be hired in the company instantly." She said. I then said "Thanks Enorma, you're the best." And I put my head on her belly, and she pats my head as we watch the sunset, thinking about seeing Katrina again, because this wasn't goodbye forever, it was a temporary goodbye, because in our hearts, she'll get better, she'll gain a following, and i'll keep doing what I do best. Wrestling well, and being a great friend.
That's basically it. I wanted to tell this story to you all because I wanted you all to know about my past. We all have our dreams, our goals in life that we want to succeed in. I know that Katrina has grown since that day, her wrestling is excellent, her character work was amazing and she became friendly outside the ring, even if she's a heel in the ring, and i'm thankful for her.
Thanks for reading this story. I'm happy that I have fans like you guys who stood by my side for all those years. And Kaze, thanks for all the wonderful work of me and all your other characters. You really built a great fanbase, and made some great friends along the way, you really are amazing and I'm very happy for you. So everyone, take care of yourselves and see you next time. Bye for now.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wrestling is one of the greatest, most entertaining sports of all time. It was my
dream to become one. There's two things about it that hooked me in immediately, both are the larger than life personalities that wrestles every week and the ringwork that those guys do that inspired me to chase my dreams of being a sexy wrestling queen.
How's it going. I'm Bertha Hippo, and a large hippo with a lot of charm and wrestling skill in this body. I first got into wrestling via my friend and rival Enorma Pig, a tough pig from Texas and can kick your butt very well, and look good in those jeans, seriously that girl got good taste.
She was a pretty great wrestler in her spare time when she isn't collecting guns and being an engineer, like she has over 300 guns, That's a lot. I'm a little impressed.
Anyways, Enorma taught me all the stuff about wrestling. She tought me all the stuff that goes into being an amazing pro wrestler. Number one is personality. I'm a tough but cool Hippo that is writty, sassy and funny, and with my big body, I had this aspect in spades.
Number Two is Look. I also have one down. I have a chubby but quite good looking bod, my belly isn't to large and I have a pretty attractive face and nice flowing green hair. Not to mention my lovely purple skin and peach underbelly, yeah I was blessed pretty well with this one. And my wrestling singlet is simple, yet effective.
And Number Three is most importantly is wrestling skill. I'm not the best wrestler in the world I have to be quite honest with you all, but I am pretty good. Whenever another wrestler lands a good move, I can sell the impact rather convincingly, making it look like I took heavy damage. And I can suplex and slam my opponent with ease, and I did it with quick for a woman of my size.
All these things, was with the help of Enorma and i'm very thankful for her. Sometimes I practice my wrestling techniques with Enorma and vice versa for her. our skills have gotten better and better with each time. Hey Enorma, if your reading this story. Thanks for helping me become the wrestler I ever dreamed of, and i'm happy that we are friends.
After sometime, me and Enorma met with this cat named Kaze. Kaze was also a big wrestling fan. We became friend not just because he loves wrestling, but because he sees my potential in wrestling. He sees me as an up-and-coming wrestler that can be a mega star. Kaze's big project is his own wrestling league called T.A.W, aka the Tornado Association of Wrestling.
It was his dream to make a his wrestling league to showcase a ton of gifted and talented wrestlers from all walks of life. It's was a brilliant idea, and Kaze was a genius when it comes to inventing a wrestling show that can entertain it's fans with awesome matches, brilliant promos and a great atmosphere. There's just one tiny problem, one little bitesize issue with this. He didn't hire any wrestlers aside from me and Enorma. Both of us are the first wrestlers of this up-and-coming wrestling show, and Kaze was fine with this.
Now I know what all of you are thinking right now, Bertha, why is Kaze fine with having only 2 Wrestlers in his league. Well you have to think of this in Kaze's perspective. Kaze only to develop his little league, he only started making a wrestling show. But seeing my and Enorma's potential starpower, he wants to start tiny and work his way up. Only do wrestling matches at local house shows of me and Enorma duking it out in the ring to build interest and show these matches online. That way it can gain a small but dedicated fanbase and hopefully get more talent in the promotion, and book in bigger and more fancier venue.
Me, Enorma and Kaze sat on a table in Kaze's house and discuss on creating a logo for TAW "Ok guys, if we are gonna do this, we need to eye-catching logo. Something that screams we are the hot new thing in professional wrestling." I said. We then all think on what the logo should look like. Enorma decided on a stylish logo that's slick and cool. Kaze then said "Well, that's that taking care of."
And so after more preparations, we booked a local small house show in a small arena in Texas, where Enorma and Kaze were born and raised. about 400 people sat to watch me and Enorma wrestle. Before the match, I saw Enorma sitting down on a bench in the locker room. "Hey, a little nervous are you." Said Enorma.
"A little, but it's nothing i can't handle. That's what being a wrestler is, to entertain the crowd." I said to Enorma, and she said "Yeah, i'd never thought i wrestle in my home state. I can't let them down." Enorma wants to give the people of Texas an unforgettable show. Mind you, Enorma even though she did wrestling training in her spare time. She only wrestled in i think 12 shows.
"Well, always give your best." I said and give Enorma a nice thumbs up, boosting her confidence. "Thank Bertha. Ok let's go." She said, and we both head to the entrance hall, and make our debut.
First to come out was Enorma. who was wrestling in the same jeans as she always wears outside the ring. Enorma makes a great entrance, wearing her cowboy hat.
She then takes off her cowboy hat, and twirls it around her finger, and with one giant "Are you ready!" She throws it high into the sky, and Enorma puts her hand in the air and catches the hat with a confident look on her face.
She walks down the ramp. High fiving many people as she walks to the ring. She then enters the ring and flexes her right bicep and then said "This is Texas tough for ya!", i think see was trying to have that be her wrestling catchphrase, i think it was neat.
And then, it was my turn, and man what a first impression i made to the crowd. I came out to the funkiest pop song, and i was dancing on the stage, and i got the moves. I made a great first impression to the fans, and I walked down that ramp like I was in a fashion show. Kaze who was watching the match in his own fan was impressed that I can engage with the fans in my own way.
And then I go inside the ring. I gave Enorma a handshake because its good sportsman ship. The bell rings and we did a test of strength, i overcome Enorma's strength and did a belly to belly Suplex on her.
Enorma got back up and got in her punches and kicks on me. and on the last kick, i grabbed her leg and the a dragon screw to counter it. Then i did a little elbow drop, and was going to do a leg drop but Enorma got back up quickly.
Back in the van, Kaze was impressed by our wrestling skills and he said "Wow, these two are pretty good. Let's see what else these two have got." In a way, this match is like a final exam for me. To see how much I've learned from Enorma's brand of teaching. Meanwhile a Certain little Crocodile was watching the match by the sidelines. More on her later.
But back to the match. Me and Enorma continue to wrestle, and the crown was loving my every move. I did a Dropkick on Enorma, man that was awesome. Enorma did a Bodyslam, and then puts both her hands in the sky, one finger on each hand pointing up, and she runs to the rope, and did a springboard body splash on me.
She almost pinned me for the 3 count, but when the referee was just about to say three, i got out of it, and then began my comeback. First i did 2 German Suplexes on Enorma, and the picked her back up. She was groggy, and that leads to my finishing move. The Bertha Powerbomb, a move i came up with.
Here's how i did it, first a grab the opponent and and their heads bent down and placed between my legs, then i lift the opponent high in the air, then i rotate 360 degrees and slam the opponent onto the mat and pin the opponent. It was a personal favourite of mine, and one i'm quite proud of myself.
I pinned Enorma for the 1,2,3. I have won the first match of my Pro wrestling career. After the match, i picked up Enorma, and she said "You have come a long way. I'm so proud of you. You are going to be a future legend someday." We then hugged each other to the ovation of the crowd.
Meanwhile Kaze was Ethusiastic over my match with Enorma. "I have never seen as talented as Bertha before. She's amazing, just as good as Enorma. Looks like TAW as a bright future ahead."
Backstage, me and Enorma was walking back to the locker room, talking about how well i did in the match. "Man, that was incredible. You never disappoint me Bertha. You were awesome in the match." Enorma said, who was very happy at me."
"Thanks Enorma, and thanks for teaching me." I said, and we gave each other a fist bump. And has we got into the looker room, we see a Crocodile in the locker room.
"Well, Bertha. That was quite the performance you had, you had the crown chanting your name." Said the Crocodile lady, but then I remembered her face and then said "Katrina?"
"Yep that's me. Katrina, the ultimate crocodile wrestler from Louisiana, the true queen of the ring." said Katrina. Now Katrina was a wrestler from the south, Louisiana to be exact, that have two ponytails, green lipstick and a big mouth. I'm serious she's like the master of talking about random stuff.
But there's something else about her and me that i want to tell you. Our parents hate each other. Our familes were popular wrestlers in their own rights, especially Slim, my brother. but Katrina's parents were great wrestlers mind you, but we were more popular than they were, so because of that, Katrina's family became jealous that we were hogging the spotlight from them and became bitter rivals to my family.
It's honestly pretty sad really. But that rivalry bleeds into my relationship with Katrina. She became jealous of me and my up and coming wrestling career and will do anything to be famous.
Katrina notices Enorma standing besides me "Oh you must be Enorma. I'm flattered that we got to meet." she said. Enorma crosses her arms and say to Katrina "Howdy." she said in a monotone voice, like she's unimpressed by her.
"So Bertha. You had a great match out there. The crown was chanting your name loudly." Katrina said, but then she said this "That should of been me in the ring. Not a loser like you." Me and Enorma was taking a back by her words, i then said "Katrina, why did you have to say that." and then Katrina grinned.
"Because your a joke, I'm a better wrestler than you, you're just a pretty face and nothing else. If there's anyone that should have been in the ring wrestling Enorma for TAW's first ever match, it's me." Katrina said. She was still jealous of me. And Enorma said to her "Look i don't know much about your rivalry, in fact this is the first time i ever heard about it. But that's not a reason to bully Bertha like that."
But she then said "Sorry Enorma nobody cares. Anyways back on topic, Bertha, you wrestling skills are mediocre at best. I got pretty bored watching you wrestling, it's like watching paint dry." Enorma was about to kick her butt and she keep going.
"Unlike me, Your just a joke who thinks shes an awesome wrestler. Just leave wrestling to the superstars like me, because unlike me, you're nothing." And i had enough of her. I just wanted her to leave.
I didn't lash out at her, i didn't attacked her, i'm not a bully. So instead i simply said "Katrina, you need to leave, right now.", but then Katrina said "Aww, is the big hippo gonna cry. Is she sad that she's never as good as me."
"GET OUT!!" Enorma shouted and opens the door. "Fine, i'll go but this isn't over. just remember Bertha, i'm better than you in ever possible way." Katrina said and walks away and chuckles to herself.
I sat down on the bench. "Bertha. Are you ok hun?" Enorma said. and then i said "Yeah, i just can't believe she's still jealous of me. One of these days i wished she be a bit more mature and not wanting me to fail."
"Yeah, i know. I just hope i never see her again." Enorma said, then i said "Me too." I just didn't like Katrina's personality. She just came off as, oh what's the word for it, it's on the tip of my tongue, oh yeah, a massive jerk. But she wasn't done oh no. She had to do something extra let's just say.
As Kaze goes to congratulate us on preforming a wrestling classic, he walks past Katrina and she made eye contact with him. "You must be Kazecat, I've heard so much about you." She said.
"Well I am the guy who's kickstarting a pro wrestling league of my own. A league of exceptional talent from all walks of life. I think you could be a megastar in my company." Kaze said. And I opened door after I got changed back into my regular clothes and notice Kaze talking to Katrina. Me and Enorma then walked to Kaze.
"Well giving that you have Bertha in your company i'm guessing it's not worth going to." Katrina said, just to get under my skin, and did a mischievous grin and then said "And i think she's a very horrible wrestler. They have no talent, no style. Just nothing stand out about them. Quite frankly i'm surprised Bertha is one of your first wrestlers in this promotion. It really shows why your promotion will never get off the ground."
Kaze, me and Enorma was shocked and hurt by her comments, me the most. She then did a smug grin like she's in the right, but she wasn't. Even if this is about the rivalry of my family and hers, and me and her this was not a kind thing to say. She just came of as fill of it.
Enorma filled with anger towards Katrina grabs her and picks her up and said to her "You really tick me off. I've seen some mean people in my time, but you are the most annoying, most cruel and the most arrogant one of them all." but Katrina then said "Seriously, i'm just saying Bertha is a joke, just like the rest of her family."
Enorma was about to slam Katrina to the ground, but I stopped her and then said "Enorma, i'll handle this." Enorma then said "Ok Bertha." and lets go of Katrina.
I looked at Katrina and said "Katrina, I know you think you're doing this for your family, and i'm sorry that your family are now as famous as our family. But that's not an excuse to go and talk trash about my wrestling. You need to let it go and move on." Katrina got very angry at me. In a bit of rage she said "Just shut up. You don't what it's like to be in the shadows of someone great. I'll prove you all that I deserve to me just as famous as your family Bertha." and with tears rolling down on her eyes, then said "I'll show you all that i'm great! You'll see Bertha, you'll all see!" and she runs off.
I stand there and Kaze comes up to me and said "Bertha, are you ok?" then I looked at Kaze and said "Yeah, sorry for that whole thing."
Enorma being the awesome friend that she is puts her hand on my right shoulder and said to me "It's ok Bertha. I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself. We'll be here for you whenever you need us to talk about your problems." Then me, Kaze and Enorma then hugged it out. "Thanks guys, you're the best." I said.
Meanwhile Katrina still crying has made it outside in the rain, and then make a vow to herself "Bertha. I'll become the best wrestler ever. I'll be a star in the ring and you'll see." and slams her fist on the ground and growls and then yells "I'LL BE THE BEST!!!"
And for the next couple of days we did a couple more house shows and me and Enorma wrestled each time. And I just kept getting better and better, to the point that it's second nature to me. I used so many new moves in my arsenal, like a camel clutch, a clothesline and a Full nelson Slam.
Meanwhile Katrina was practicing her wrestling skills, pushing herself to her very limits to be better than me. "I must surpass Bertha. I must be the best." she said, slightly out of breath and then lie down on the mat in the wrestling ring in her back garden to catch her breath.
While she was lying there, she was thinking about the words i said to her. For the first time in her life she felt like she's a loser. "I wanted this rivalry to end as much as you do Bertha. In a way, i'm actually proud of you for becoming a pro-wrestler." She said to herself, and then sits up and then said "But i want to beat you and prove to you that i'm great." Katrina then lets out a sign "Oh well, i guess it's never meant to be."
Katrina then had an idea. She got out the wrestling ring and inside her home, and calls me on her phone. Yeah she had my phone number back then, I guess she really wanted us to be friends.
Back at home I want sitting down on the sofa wearing a dressing gown and watching some crime dramas on TV while eating a bowl of popcorn, but then I heard of phone ringing and I answered the phone. "Hello. Katrina!" I said, being surprised that she called me.
"Hey Bertha, I wanted to say i'm sorry for what I did back then." She said.
I was a little confused, so I said to her "Your sorry?". This was the first time I ever heard Katrina said she's sorry in all my life. "That seriously is a surprise."
Katrina then said "Yes, I am sorry. What I did back then was wrong, I shouldn't have said all those mean things to you back then. And you're right I need to let go and move on, I can't live like this. And to be honest, I didn't want it to be like this. I blame my parents for being jealous, that would to be as popular as you are. And yeah i'm popular in Louisiana, and I thought about it for a little bit, and i'm ok with that."
I had a hard time processing what she said. "Sorry I stopped listening after you said you can't live like this." And then Katrina said "If you want to settle this rivalry once and for all, let me wrestle you in TAW. I want to end this stupid rivalry our families have on my own terms. I would to prove to myself that i'm great as I am." She was pulling all her heart out in this one. I sighed and then said "Ok, i'll see what I can do. Let's settle the score."
Katrina said "Thank you. I'll see you then." and she hangs up the phone, and I sighed yet again and then said "What have I gotten myself into."
So after I got dressed and grabbed my handbag, I went over to Kaze's house. It wasn't that far, it was only 3 blocks down. After a short walk I knock on Kaze's door.
Kaze opens his door "Hello Bertha" he said, and I then said to him "Hi Kaze. I got a phone call from Katrina. She said she's sorry about what she did a while back and she wants to end this rivalry by wrestling me in TAW."
Kaze then said "How about you come in and tell me more about it." Then I went inside his house and he said "Wanna take a seat while I make you a drink?", I said "I would like that" and I then sit on Kaze's couch, and was making myself at home. Kaze then asked me "What would you like to drink?"
"Some water would be nice." I said and he gave me a thumbs up and goes to the kitchen to get some water for us to drink while we chat. A little bit later Kaze entered his living room with a tray with 2 cups and a jug of water on it, and placed it on the table. Kaze then pours the water into the cups and gives me one of the cups and said "Here you go."
I took a sip of water and said "Ahhh. Gotta love a simple but effective drink." Kaze smiles, and then takes his cup of water and sit next to me and said "Tell me all about this rivalry you two have. I need to know more so I can help you with this."
I breathed in and breathed out and said to Kaze in great detail "My family is famous for their wrestling brilliants. My mom always tells me all her amazing achievements in books detailing our successes, but Katrina's family were jealous that they are not as popular as my family. Back then, me and Katrina used to be friends, I can remember all the fun times I had when we watch wrestling together, those were fun. But then her mother found out that she's friends with a member of my family and berates for hanging out with me." and as I said that last part, Kaze said "That's not good."
And then I said "Yeah, well it gets worst. She felt like she was treated like crap because she was friends with me. She had self doubts about our friendship, like I was holding her back. And found out from the news that my brother Slim became a part of a crime gang, she suddenly thought that my family was actually flawed. And goes to stop him, but found me instead. I was a little upset that my brother is joining a crime boss. She comfort me, but then my mom and dad came, and she was told that she will never be as successful as they were. My dad even said to her that Bertha is a better wrestler than me. Those words hurt Katrina. And she screams loudly and said to my parents "Well if you guys are better, why don't you just show me." And Katrina was going to bodyslam Dad before I go and stop those two from fighting."
Kaze then said "And what happened after that." And I sighed and then said "She started to think I was better than her. She became jealous, and our friendship was over, she said "I'll prove to you all that I have what it takes to make it in pro wrestling. I'll show you all that our family that i'm better than all of you combined. And Bertha, we are through. Later." And she walked off, and I was left crying. I lost a friend and blamed my Mom and Dad for their stupid rivalry and I ran off, thinking about the nice times me and Katrina had, tainted by her own actions."
"I was left sitting by a tree, sobbing. But then my own mother said "Bertha, we're sorry about what happened." and then I said "Why did you have to do this? We were the best of friends, and I lost her, because of this rivalry. Why can't you guys just get along already." My Mom really felt sorry for what her and my father did and sits right next to me under the tree. She then said "Bertha I know your mad at us for the rivalry we have with Katrina's family. In a way, I was happy you had Katrina in your life. We're sorry for letting this rivalry start in the first place."
"I said to her "You are?" and she said "But i'm proud of you for not letting this silly rivalry get in the way of your friendship with Katrina for as long as you can. Someday this rivalry will end and you and Katrina will be friends again." And wiped my tears and said to her "You really think so?" and Mom smiles and said "I'm sure. Just know that i'm always here for you babygirl." and I smiled with tears in my eyes and said to Mom "Thanks Mom for being their for me. And i'm sorry for not stopping Slim from becoming a villain." And then me and Mom cuddle under the tree as rain poured in, and Mom said "I know."
It's also worth noting that Katrina was watching me and my Mom have this talk. Katrina felt sad that she ended our friendship like that. "I'm sorry Bertha, but I need to do this for my family." And then tears rolled down her eyes and she said "I wished that it didn't have come to this. It was all my parents fault." and she punches a walk and cries. She was generally sorry for what she did, and wished that this rivalry would end. I feel very bad for her.
"That's awful. This rivalry had destroyed your friendship." Said Kaze who felt sad that our friendship ended like this. He felt like this rivalry needs to end for Katrina.
"I know. If she wants this rivalry between our families to end, then we'll do what we can to end it on our own terms. Because deep down, I don't want her to suffer because of our families hating each other. Our friendship ended because of this so we must end it." I said. Just then Enorma comes in the house and she saw me and Kaze chatting, "Hey guys, what are you two doing." she said and Kaze said "Talking about Katrina wrestling with Bertha in TAW to end their families rivalry."
Enorma looked a bit concerned about all this, honestly I can't really blame her after what Katrina did. "I don't know guys, this might end in disaster." and the Enorma sighs, and then said "But if this will stop Katrina from being mean than I guess I'll do anything I can to make this rivalry end."
"Thanks Enorma." I said to her and then she said "That's what friends are for, we help each other with their problems and do their best to resolve them."
Kaze then told Enorma to get my and Katrina's parents to watch their match. Enorma said "Ok Kaze, you can count on me." And she goes out and find both our parents.
Meanwhile Me and Kaze went to a small arena in between a large convenience store and a delicious Chinese restaurant. In fact can I just say. That Chinese restaurant is so good. The rice is cooked to perfection, the noodles taste amazing and the prices a good, In fact I got some dumplings for only $1.99, amazing.
Anyways back to the story. With the ring set up and 2 hours until showtime, we waited outside for Katrina. Kaze grabbing an apple while he waits for the guest of honour, then after 30 minutes, she arrived.
"Bertha, it's great to see you." She said and we shaked hands. It was the first time in a long time that we greeted each other like this. It's kinda heartwarming in a sense. And Katrina saw Kaze and then said "Look Kaze, i'm sorry I insuited your company and Bertha. I just hope you find it in your heart to forgive me for that stupid mistake." She said. Kaze then said "I forgive you. And don't worry we are going to end this together." Katrina smiles. I got to be honest, it a charming smile.
"Anyways, let's get changed ready for the match." I said and we head to the locker room and get changed for our big match. I was the first to get changed, and i came out in my wrestling singlet, "Man i love this getup." i said to myself and then i waited for Katrina get changed.
Katrina then comes out of the locker room, wearing her elbow pads, gloves, shorts and her admittingly, her pretty awesome looking bra, the one with the fangs. It's fit her whole look, like a ferocious beast about to strike you at a moments notice. It's makes her look like a complete badass. I can always appreciate some cool clothes when i see it, and man do i vibe with our wrestling outfit.
"So, are you ready to settle the score?" Asked Katrina, and i answered her by saying "Heck yeah i'm ready" i said and we head to the entrance hall. 400 people packed the arena. And in the crowd was me and Katrina's family sitting next to each other to see us wrestle. Enorma goes to greet us and said "I wish you two good luck." And both me and Katrina nod to her and Kaze and Enorma watches the match backstage.
First i make my entrance, the same dancing i do as i make my way to the ring. And then Katrina makes her entrance. And she lets out a loud "YEAH!!", and she then makes her way to the ring, looking confident and ready to go.
She then walks up the ringside stairs and goes inside the ring and we both see out parents watching us. The have front row seats to our big matches "There they are, our parents." said Katrina as we look in the crown to see our parents, and then see looks at me, "Bertha, don't hold back, because i'm not going to either."
And then i nodded and then the bell rings, and right away Katrina was attacking me with knife edge chops and a toe kick. And then she grappled me, but then i reversed that and did a backbreaker move. "Ok, now we are talking." Katrina said, who already knows that this match is gonna be great.
Katrina jumps back on her feet and swipes me with her tail and i fell down on the mat and Katrina does a Moonsault on me. Then i got back up, and did a small kick, followed by a double axe handle and then did my Belly to Belly on her, but Katrina did a handstand and got back up. I was a little surprised that she did that, Katrina was one acrobatic Croc i'll tell ya.
She ran towards me and striked me with a a Flying Elbow. I hear my Mom saying "Keep going you two. Forget the rivalry, and have fun." and then Katrina's dad shouted "Yeah, end this rivalry. It gone on long enough." And with the support of them, i then grabbed her and did a scoop slam on her, and slammed her on the mat. "If you think my other moves were graceful, the best is yet to come." And then using her legs, she grabs my head with her legs. Pushes herself up, and then did a hurricanrana on me. That pumped up the crown, even our parents, with my dad saying "Woah, this Katrina lady is pretty good, almost as good as Bertha." and happily Katrina's mom said "Yeah, Bertha really is an amazing wrestling like Katrina. I'm glad we are seeing these to wrestle, it's so fun."
They saw us as equals. Both skilled, both talented and worked hard to perfect our wrestling skills. At long last, Katrina's parents appreciate me for my personality and technical mastery and my parents appreciate Katrina for her acrobatic moves and crazy attacks. The match continues as Katrina did a arm drag on me. Katrina shouts to the crowd "Are you ready for this!" and the crowd yelled out a big and rowdy "YEAH!"
It was time for Katrina to unleash her finisher on me, Crocodile's Fangs. She runs to the turnbuckle and leaps on top of it, and jumps as high as she can, and does a picture perfect moonsault on me and goes in for the pin. And she got the win via a 3 count. And the crowd was so loud. they loved the match so much, the storytelling, the drama and the wrestling in display.
When I stood up, I bring my hand towards her and said to her "Congratulations Katrina, you really are an amazing wrestler." and Katrina shook my hand and said "It was a lot of fun wrestling you." And then we hug.
Backstage we met up with Kaze and Enorma, and Kaze said "That was the most beautiful wrestling match I have ever seen in my life. You sure put on one hell of a show." Me and Katrina at each other and said "Yeah, It was a fun match. And i'm happy that we ended this rivalry." And suddenly our parents met up with them.
"Katrina, Bertha, we just want to say we are sorry for this whole thing. We did not mean to ruin your friendship." my Dad said.
"Katrina, it was our fault. I just hoped that you find it in your heart to forgive us." Katrina's Dad said, and then Katrina said to her dad "Don't worry Dad, that's in the past. Thanks for liking my match."
"We are so proud of you two. Katrina, your happy to wrestle in this company with Bertha if you want." Katrina's mom said.
But just then Katrina said "I'm sorry Mom and Dad, and i'm sorry Bertha, Kaze and Enorma, but I can't wrestle in your company. This was a one time deal." And yeah, we were a bit disappointed that Katrina isn't going to wrestle for us, but I do understand. We are only a tiny wrestling league, and if Katrina wants to gain fans and be just as popular as me, she needs to go to different other wrestling promotions to build a fanbase for her.
And then, I put my hand on her left shoulder and said to her "Well if we end up getting a big fanbase and become popular, your welcome to come here." And Katrina softly said to me "Thanks Bertha." And we all had a group hug of me, Katrina, Our parents, Enorma, and Kaze. It was the best feeling Katrina ever had in her life.
At the train station, me and Katrina was sitting on the bench waiting for Katrina's train back to Louisiana and we talk about things. "Bertha, this is the being of my own journey. My journey to become the best wrestler in Louisiana." said Katrina with pride in her eyes. "I'm sure you are going to be great Katrina." I said to her.
"Thanks. Anyways how's your brother?" Asked Katrina, and then I said to her "We don't talk all that much these days, with him join a crime gang. I don't know why he did it."
Katrina then puts her right hand on my left shoulder and said "Bertha, i'm sure you will make Slim become good. If you love miss him that much, be sure to say it to him when you two cross paths." I smiled to her comment and then said to her "I will, thanks Katrina." and then Katrina said "No problem."
And we heard Katrina's train stopped at the station, it was time for her to leave. "Well I better get going. Bertha just keep doing what you always do. and when we meet each other again, we'll have a rematch." she said.
"I'll be here when you are ready." And we both shared a fist pump and Katrina goes to her train, "Well, so long." Katrina said, and I then said "Take care Katrina." and as the train door close she waved goodbye and off she went back Louisiana.
Back at Enorma's ranch and I laying on the ground and looking at the sky. Enorma then sits next to me, "You miss her don't you?" said Enorma, she knows me for so long that she can tell if I feel sad.
"Yeah I do. She was an amazing wrestler and a great friend, but sometimes I can't stop and think of how much I miss her." I said to her.
"I know Bertha. I'm sure you'll see her again. And when TAW become more popular she'll be hired in the company instantly." She said. I then said "Thanks Enorma, you're the best." And I put my head on her belly, and she pats my head as we watch the sunset, thinking about seeing Katrina again, because this wasn't goodbye forever, it was a temporary goodbye, because in our hearts, she'll get better, she'll gain a following, and i'll keep doing what I do best. Wrestling well, and being a great friend.
That's basically it. I wanted to tell this story to you all because I wanted you all to know about my past. We all have our dreams, our goals in life that we want to succeed in. I know that Katrina has grown since that day, her wrestling is excellent, her character work was amazing and she became friendly outside the ring, even if she's a heel in the ring, and i'm thankful for her.
Thanks for reading this story. I'm happy that I have fans like you guys who stood by my side for all those years. And Kaze, thanks for all the wonderful work of me and all your other characters. You really built a great fanbase, and made some great friends along the way, you really are amazing and I'm very happy for you. So everyone, take care of yourselves and see you next time. Bye for now.
