The world’s fastest growing sport entered the story line on the lowbrow TruTV “reality” series Lizard Lick Towing.
Amy hurt her wrist at the office, dealing with an angry repo client, and, as Ronnie pointed out, the fight wasn’t even on, yet—what happens when she is actually in a ring, getting her mixed martial arts vibe on against her rival?
I’m sick of hearing about this stupid fight,” said Ronnie. “She’d gonna end up fightin’. Don’t mean I gotta like it, don’t mean I got to be there and don’t mean I got to support her.
After weeks of training, it was time for Amy Firecracker Shirley to get in the ring against Sheila Brickhouse Martin. The heat was on even before the two women got in the ring, as their personal dislike for each other boiled over with a lot of trash talk at the gym, which the ref directed them to save for the ring.
If something happened to her, I’d go crazy, Ronnie said as he declined to go along with the gang to the fight, actually going on a repo call with a customer to get a pontoon.”
Ronnie did go—he had to jump off the pontoon and swim to shore to get there, but he did go and he did get there before the fight started.
I’m like a tight-fittin’ T-shirt, Ronnie told his wife as he showed up, soaking wet, at the crowded gym. I’ll be havin’ your back the whole day.
Amy didn’t win. She didn’t lose, either—Sheila Brickhouse Martin found herself being arrested at the ring and dragged out of the gym. So, okay, Amy did win, by forfeit—but, after all of that training, it may be that we have not seen the last of the Firecracker.
Lizard Lick Towing airs on truTV on Monday nights at 10 p.m.
