I hear my opponent finally yelling her submission after a long, grueling wrestling match on this year's Mother's Day. My friends and family cheer as Carolann finally surrenders, I hear them chanting my name. I keep my older opponent trapped in the full nelson as I hiss in her ear so only she can hear "If I ever hear you shaming me again for my better tits or talking shit behind my back in the neighborhood, I will literally come over to your house and kick ur ass again in front of your husband. And this time, I won't be playing by your wrestling rules. I might also suggest you retire before someone else further humiliates you." I finally let go after delivering my menacing message as Carolann drops to the floor broken & dejected.
Your husband and the ref start to enter the oil pit to help you up but I just glare at them as they stop in their tracks. They know not to disturb the Lioness as she still toys with her beaten prey. Carolann is as dense as she looks if she really thinks I will be showing her any compassion. I did have some respect for her before we started our match but this mom doesn't forget or forgive easily. I HATE being slut-shamed, especially by my fellow females, and Carolann so easily sided with Lynn when that gnat started chiming in.
I slowly stand up in the middle of the pit, my entire body aching. I know I'll be taking some well deserved rest after this match. I look down at my opponent who is still on the ground covering her face.
"Get up. As is customary in Japanese culture, the weaker, lesser being must bow down to their superior. You being the lesser wrestler, the lesser mother, and the lesser woman, must now admit that and bow down to me - the new Oil Wrestling Champion." Carolann's husband can barely watch as his former-Champion wife slowly crawls onto her knees as she bows to the Asian woman standing, pressing her face on the oily floor. I signal to the stunned ref as he hurriedly brings over the Championship belt and secures it around my waist.
You can hear my sons as they are busy snapping pictures with their phones of the scene. Carolann's supporters sitting in stunned silence as they watch their proud American mom bowing down to her Japanese opponent in her own backyard.
"I can't hear you Carolann."
"........you wrestled a great match and deserve to be champion. You are the better mom, wrestler, and woman" she finally mumbles as her head is still pressed down on the floor.
