Into the Ring (Gwenpool)

[John Kilroy]

Gwen admired spider-man that much was for certain, but not everything about him was something she wanted to imitate. in her eyes, Peter parker's big mistake at least in Gwen's eyes wasin't so much that he was using his power for fame and fortune, so much as he his ego got too big for his own good and for that moment he had Homelander Syndrome. IE he felt too big and important to lift a finger. And that cost Ben his life.



For someone like him perhaps it was best to have a low end job somthing to keep him grounded and humble. For Gwen however,

Delivering Pizza was just not cutting it for Gwen anymore. Speaking of the Web Slinger, Gwen seemed to have a very bad habit of suffering from Spider-Man Syndrome. Even something as simple as delivering a pizza seemed to be met by muggings bank robberies and other crap that she'd inevitably have to stop as Gwenpool, she didn't mind the danger so much, in fact she honestly liked the superhero action, but for the amount of hassle involved, the compensation just wasn't cutting it. She could get paid more doing retail, and if she wanted to make enough money to help her favorite ideals, she was going to think bigger.

That was when she came across the GWA or the Gladiatorial Wrestling Alliance. Wrestling was something she liked as a child, mainly because of the similarities wrestlers had with superheroes, The Undertaker, Kane, Asuka, Ultimate Warrior, Bray Wyatt papa shango she just to name a few that she liked.

Gladiatorial Wrestling was looking for new talent depending and there was $500 for anyone who proved to be up to snuff. $500 for one tryout? That was more than Gwen could make in a week. she quickly went home and made a costume for herself heavily basing it off of Carol Danver's Warbird outfit. It seemed like no matter what she was always influenced by Warbird, not that she minded that. It was better than constantly being under Deadpool's shadow. Plus a lot of people tended to forget that long before Spider-Man was a superhero, the web-slinger in question was a wrestler and the mask was actually meant to help him save face if he lost any matches. At least that's how it was in certain continuities...the details seemed to very from universe to universe. 

The room was surprisingly dark. she could see various men and women of various heights all looking for  a chance to prove himself. Gwen couldin't help but notice that that she was the tallest of the females, standing at nearly 6ft tall. it was then she met what she assume was the promoter. He was a big italian man with a thick mustache. in many ways she couldn't help but notice that he looked a lot like the Kingpin. Maybe the guy could have worked as a body double.

"Excuse me," she asked. "Is this where the tryouts for GWA are?"


the man nodded, and he offered a hand. "Rudy Garibaldi, also known as the "The Great Mount Vesuvius." The Gladiator Wrestling Champion."
