It's wrestling. There's no crying in wrestling. And I'm already a girl wrestling, trying to seem legit. But seriously. It was probably more frustration than pain. It hurt like ****, I got up and was wobbly, held up my hand to indicate I needed a moment, leaned on the turnbuckle, then, unable to continue standing a moment, I dropped to the mat.

When I was at the turnbuckle, they were all like, "Oh, ****...what's wrong?!" and I was like, "I'm cool, I just need a minute...I bumped weird. Hit my head. Goddammit, that sucked..."

Then, I took a few Ibuprofen, the headache vanished, and I realized it wasn't a concussion, just a horrific bump...so I got back in the ring - and immediately got elbowed in the face, busting my nose AND lip. I laughed it off, and then, because I laughed that off and was in tears from hitting my head, they decided that I probably REALLY shouldn't bump anymore today.

I kept saying I was good, and then they let me shoot wrestle a little, but everyone freaked out when I fell hard from doing that, and I figured that was about all they were going to allow me do today. I wanted to freak out and yell at them, that I was fine and just wanted to learn that ****ing move that I was supposed to learn today, and to work on my elbow drop...but they weren't being dicks. They were just showing concern, and it wouldn't have been fair to yell at them for that.
