"Fight like a title holder,/Stand like a champion,/Live like a warrior,/And never let 'em break you down!" -The Interrupters, 'Title Holder'

A new masked wrestler is capturing the attention and the hearts of the audience in Ponyville Extreme Wrestling. She’s powerful, skilled, popular, and....a yak? Behind the mask is Yona, the beloved yak of the School of Friendship. However, Yona is starting to worry that her passion for smashing in the wrestling ring might not sit well with the school or her friends.

I hope "Mastodon" wasn't wearing her blanket, as we see on the title pic.

He just didn't want us to find out he's really the black ranger

This has potential. Cant wait for the new chapter

The more I read, the more I like.

There were a few spelling errors but all in all, it's an enjoyable read.

And I don't even like wrestling!

The more you write, the more I want to read. Keep it up.

Keeping us at the edge of our seats here, great work! :ajsmug:

Gotta wonder though, how much longer Yona & Ocellus will be able to keep this up before the rest of the Young Six find out? :raritywink:

The magic of friendship all over the ring. :P

Huzzah! Another chapter. :3

So does Yona Commit to wrestling,let her self be unmasked and retire, or try to find a 3rd option to let her put her career on hold? I like this story, especially since you drop the veil of the Kayfabe(the term for the artificial reality of Wrestling, heck celebrity in general really) to show the "real" drama instead of the psedodrama in the ring. Pro-Wrestlers may not be real fighters (or if they it's unrelated to prowrestling) but they are dedicated performers who put their bodies though the wringer for their performances.

I think I saw a hint or two at the official comic... :pinkiehappy:

Also, the myth that our mothers told us: "That cardboard box has more nutrients than the sugary cereal it contains!" was disproved by Mythbusters™. :twilightsmile:

Well in the comics we know Cheerilee's Twin Sister is a wrestler, and Cheerilee subsisted for her. The Main 6 got to see Pro Wrestling up close and this is League entirely in Ponyville, only so many choices. Sonic Youth is clearly Lyra and Bon-Bon could easily use "nerfed" versions of martial arts moves to be an impressive wrestler. The choices are even more narrow for non-pony wrestlers, unless Discord is multiple wrestlers he could even fight himself!

If I could give this the thumbs-up again, I would... just for your use of Fleetwood Mac. This fic brings me joy.

Quite the epic fight & finish for the final chapter, love how the rest of the Young Six knew it was Yona the whole time! She's best yak all around! :pinkiehappy:

Thanks for such a cool story! :twilightsmile:

So a wrestling story not bad and yona for this That is pretty freaking awesome

“Fear is not enemy. Fear makes Yona want to move, and fear gives Yona strength. Yona want to be best Yona possible.”

That kind of reminds me of the comic in mlp fim comic 71 When Yona said use that fear for your strength Something like that

Add and also remind me of another wrestling comic name mlp fim comic 29 When charalee Takes place of her sister's wrestling because of her injury

Oh boy Sooner or later her friends are gonna find out

That was pretty exciting even though I'm not a wrestling person but that was awesome

Poor Yona That takes a lot of stress I wonder what she's gonna do and I'm really glad that sandbar is helping out Even though He doesn't know yet well maybe yeah he does but he did not push it

So this is it if she lose That means she has to retired from wrestling that's a pretty tough call but I guess school work is always important

Well, Sweet and Professor Rarity do look kinda similar, Professor Pinkie Pie and Madness are both pink, Professor Rainbow Dash and Spinal Tap look alike if you take off the robotic parts, I could swear I heard Fleetwood Mac and Professor Applejack talk exactly the same, former-Headmare Twilight Sparkle and Van Halen both have that regal presence about them, and, I know she has a mask on, but Professor Fluttershy could be Heart if she had a mask on.”


That would be very interesting to see that I mean I did see rartiy wrestling in the comic So I won't be too surprised if I see Her there

This was an exciting Story I ever read even know I'm not a big fan of wrestling and I like the kids know it was yona So this was a pretty amazing story Another young 6 story I've read keep up the good work
