Carmody lets out a cheer of excitement when she receives the message. She has been hired as a provisional employee of the Waifu Wrestling Alliance!
Her older sister Colby had been getting all of this attention for being a big TV star, and money from Dad to get started out in a new town, while Dad wouldn't even pay for Carmody to go to college. He'd muttered something about Colby getting indoctrinated by one of these "liberal Yankee colleges," and said he wouldn't let Carmody follow the same path. Carmody had suggested going to Duke, or even like LeTourneau or Bob Jones, but he wouldn't be convinced.
And, of course, you can't get ANY jobs without a college degree these days, unless she wanted to work in the family business as a welder and plumber, which..... EWW. NO. So what was she supposed to do, go be a waitress at the Hooters up in Fayetteville? Jackie said she made great tips there but it wasn't fair when freaking COLBY of all people got to be a TV star.
There was one caveat, in the message she had received: Carmody was instructed to "Report to the WWA Dojo and make sure your fundamentals are sound before your first match".
Okay, fine.
Carmody hadn't ACTUALLY ever had a wrestling match before, but so what? She was a great athlete. She'd put in a couple months at that dumb MMA Dojo in the strip mall, right? And she was naturally tough. When Jacelyn threw a drink in her face and called her a slut, Carmody had whooped the SHIT out of her. Jackie'd had to pull her off of her. Shoot, Colby wasn't even an athlete; sure, she was big, but so what? She ran like a spaz and had no natural reflexes. And if she was doing okay as a wrestler, Carmody would be GREAT at it.
But she had to do this dojo thing first. Okay then.
