Author's Note:

Letter 82: Here.

To my most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle,

Professional wrestling is choreographed to an extent, my faithful student, some more than others. The purpose of the venue has always been entertainment, and if only the most efficient methods of, say, takedown were utilized, it'd become very dull very quickly. Moreover, an actual fight would prove dangerous to the health of the participants on a level that would be unacceptable; it is rather disturbingly easy to kill a pony by accident if you don't know exactly what you're doing.

As you well know.

That said, ponies don't like it shoved in their face that such things aren't completely unscripted beatdowns as they would wish to appear, and so the disclaimers are usually waived except on media which is actually bought or sold, which tends to use words like 'spectacle' 'extravaganza' or 'exhibition'. That last one suggests a show in particular.

Still, I digress, and would like to introduce you to a concept known as 'suspension of disbelief.' It suggests that something is interesting, entertaining, or moving enough to temporarily forget or choose to ignore that what you are seeing is not 'real', or at least isn't as it seems, for the sake of enjoyment. There are a variety of books on the subject.

Your loving mentor,
Princess Celestia

PS. Did you know I was a professional wrestler for a grand total of fifteen minutes?

Only 15!

The Gryphon Ambassador really shouldn't have gone after that last slice of cake

[Dune-Fan]

She was known as 'Painlestia' and her finishing move was the 'Mourning Wood'. Basically, she'd knock her enemy down, grab a 2x4, and beat them 'till they passed out.

I'm going to assume that this has something to do with Cake and her having to fight for the last piece

[PaintedPony]

Now I want to know more about Celestia’s brief wrestling career that I did not know existed before!

I'd like to point out that when I wrote it, I put the mental stress on the word 'professional' rather than the word 'wrestler'. I like the ideas bouncing around too much to specify though! One of the reasons I keep linking other fics from this one is I like to inspire ideas so others want to create too.

Celestia "The Brawler"

[2Merr]

It only took her fifteen minutes in the ring to get banned from participating.
She performed a “soft” suplex and accidentally broke the necks of every spectator in the room.

[Maramanasa]

Celestia once threw down luna 16feet onto a griffon ambassadors table during one of their legendary best princess debates.
