Hey guys! I've always wondered what would happen if the Divas had a tickling wrestling federation where the only way to win is to make your opponent tap out to tickling.
I've read a few great writers who have tackled this form of writing, particularly Primetime over at the Tickling Media Forum. I've always wanted to give it a shot, and I've been inspired by other people's great work... so here's my attempt.
Tell me how you like it. If you think I should go on. Suggestion. You know, the whole nine yards. Thanks guys!

Raw 5.28.07
The lights went out and pyro exploded all throughout the arena as DTF Raw came live on the air. Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawyler greeted the audience as the excitement echoed around them.
JR: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the premiere edition of DTF Raw! We're happy to have you with us as we kick off our first show up north here in Toronto, Canada.
King: It is a treat, J.R.! For those who are unfamiliar with how DTF works it's very simple. The rules are as follows.
1. All Divas who participate are to wear no footware.
2. No clothing worn can obstruct a clear path to any part of the body
3. Striking and submission holds are allowed, but a match only ends when a diva submits to a tickling hold.
So as you can see, DTF not only has the hottest women on television today, but in the hottest matches possible. Woudln't you say J.R.?
JR: I still have a pulse, King. Of course!
"No Chance in Hell" blares through the arena's speakers as Stephanie McMahon, the CEO of DTF, walks out from behind the curtain. She stands tall in a black business suit as she walks down the ramp with a smile on her face. The fans, not knowing what to expect, remain decidedly quite. Stephanie enters the ring and grabs a microphone.
Stephanie: I'm going to keep it simple and quick. Fist, welcome to the first edition of DTF Raw! I, Stephanie McMahon, as you may know, am the CEO of this joint venture with our parent company, WWE. So to put it in a language you can all understand, I'm the boss.
A slight chorus of boo's erupt from the crowd.
Stephanie: Now as you may know, being this is our first broadcast, we have no champions. Luckily I have a plan to fix this. Starting tonight we will hold a tournament for the DTF Women's Championship belt!
The crowd erupts with cheers.
Stephanie: The finest ladies in the world of wrestling will meet in this very ring to crown who is in fact, the greatest of them all. The first round will look like this!
The following brackets appear on the JumboTron:
Melina
Maria
Torrie
Candice
Victoria
Ashley
Mickie
Jillian
Stephanie: Tonight we will have the first two matches, and the tournament will continue two matches a week until a champion is crowned! And this.. starts... now!
The bell rings and Lillian Garcia announced the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Maria's music blares in the stadium as the bubbly, dim-witted Diva makes her way down to the ring. The crowd roars for her as she frantically waves her arms for approval. Upon entering the ring McMahon walks up to Maria and shakes her hand. A sly grin paints McMahon's face. Maria fails to notice this as she continues to play to the crowd.
Maria's music is interrupted by Melina's music. A red carpet unrolls as Melina strides to the ring, a pack of photographers follow her every move snapping pictures. The confident diva poses every chance she gets so that every picture will show her confident demeanor. In the ring Maria gives Melina a thumbs down. Stephanie runs into Melina on her way out of the ring and the two stare each other down, each with a little smirk across their face. Stephanie steps around Melina and walks towards the back.
Melina walks up to the ring and does her trade mark "split" entrance before standing up and getting Maria's face. The referee is forced to separate the two.
JR: Melina may be beautiful King, but she is an angry, jealous, spiteful woman.
King: Jealous? Jealous of what? She's got everything! She's pretty, strong, and has those photographers following her every mood. Oh, how I do love her ring entrance as well.
The bell rings as Melina sneers at Maria from across the ring. Melina confidently walks up and raises her arm, daring Maria to accept a test of strength. Maria accepts the challenge and both Divas lock their hands together in an effort to force the other one down. Before they even get started Melina drives her foot into Maria's stomache, grabs her amr, and whips her towards the ropes. As Maria springs off the roples Melina catches her with a vicious clothesline.
JR: Maria is not known for her in-ring ability. This match may be a short one, King.
Melina grabs Maria by the hair and forces her to her feet.
Melina: What's wrong Maria? Not in my league?
With that Melina viciously slaps Maria across the face. Maria hits the mat again and tries to roll away from Maria.
Melina: Come back bitch, so I can finish you off quickly!
As Melina goes to reach for Maria, the dim witted Diva grabs Melina and throws her to the mat. Maria then springs to her feet and locks Melina's foot into an ankle lock. But instead of applying pressure Maria strokes her fingers up and down the helpless sole of Melina's foot.
The self absorbed Diva cried out in laughter. Just moments before she was in total control, but within seconds she finds herself on her stomach, writhing in laughter as Maria tickles her foot.
Melina: No..ahahahahahhahahaha..st-stop it! Hahahahahahahahahaha...
Maria: I'm sorry Melina, are you staying something?
Melina: Haha.. I'm ..hahahaha.. gonna.. k-k..hahahahahaha.. kill you ..hahahaha.
JR: Melina is in a bad way here king. She could be moments from ...
King: No way! She's defiant as ever.
JR: Are you watching the same match as me?
Melina starts to crawl arm lenght, by arm lenght towards the ropes until she's close enough to grab them. The ref runs to Maria to break the hold. Maria lets go and takes a few steps back. Melina slowly gets up a little shocked at Maria's sudden in-ring ability. Though it was only for a few seconds, and though she had kept her composure, Melina didn't want to let this match drag out. She was going to end it and end it quick.
JR: I think Melina is a little shocked. She probably didn't expect Maria to even get a single move in.
King: It's never smart to underestimate your opponent, but I have to believe that Melina has learned her lesson.
Melina locks up with Maria, drops to one knee, and strikes the back of Maria's knee. Maria falls in a clump to the ground as now Melina has the leverage. Not wasting a moment Melina turns Maria over on her stomach, grabs her legs, and bends backwards over her grabbing her chin.
JR: Bah gawd King! The Kyrapractor! But that's not a tickling submission!
Melina, using both of her hands to cup Maria's chin and keep herself up, let's one hand loose and starts to tickle Maria's side. Maria erupts into a fit of laughter.
Maria: Aaaahhhhhhahahahahahahahaha NO!!! HAhahahahahahaha... no no..hahaha.. please.. hahahahahahaha.
King: She turned it into a tickling submission, JR! Now Maria is pleading!
Melina felt Maria's body tremble under her power and within seconds Maria starts to frantically tap the mat.
JR: Maria has no choice King. She's tapping out!
The bell rang, but Melina held on to the move for a few more seconds to make Maria tap just a little more. Melina got up and grabbed a mic as Lillian Garcia announced her as the winner.
Melina: Everyone listen up! There's a new queen bitch in town and it's me! I'm the most dominant diva here at DTF and I just proved it. Anyone who gets in my way will end up like Maria, tapping out like a little bitch!
Melina threw the mic down and walked over to Maria. Before exiting the ring Melina kicked Maria in the stomach. The crowd rainded down on her with boos and jeers, but all she could hear was the submissive cries of Maria echoing through her ears.

Kelly Kelly, interviewer extrodinare, is backstage with Ashley.
Kelly: Ashley, only two months ago you faced off against Melina at Wrestlemania. In what some people are calling the worst women's match in Wrestlemania history, you lost fairly quickly, and pretty convincingly. Now you're in the tournament for the DTF match, and have a match against Victoria next week. Do you have any comments.
Ashley: First of all, Kelly. That was back then. This is now. Here at the DTF Melina doesn't have the luxuary of pinning me. She has to make me give up, and to be honest ... she doesn't stand a chance in hell. As for Victoria, next week I'll show the Vicious Vixen just how much I've improved.
Just then Melina comes backstage and gets in Ashley's face. Kelly backs off, her face riddled with fear.
Melina: Not a chance in hell, huh?
Ashley: That's right.
Melina: If by some miracle you can get past Victoria next week, and whatever diva comes after that, I promise you I'll beat you just as quick, if not quicker, than I did at Wrestlemania.
Melina walked away as a defiant Ashley starred a hole through her.
---
JR: Looks like things are already heating up, King! Melina and Ashley still have bad blood left over from their WWE days.
King: Who doesn't Melina have bad blood with, JR? What matters is: Can she back it up. Judging by what we saw tonight I think she can!
In the ring Lilian Garcia announces the next match is scheduled for one fall. Torrie Wilson makes her way down to the ring with her dog, Chloe in hand.
JR: Torrie has been in the WWE for years, and at times as proven herself an in-ring threat.
King: That's right, JR. But it'll take more than just a pretty face and nice puppies... um, I mean a nice puppy.. to get far here.
JR: I see nothing has changed ...
As Torrie enters the ring, Candice Michelle's music hits as the Go-Daddy Princess struts to the ring.
JR: Before being sent here to DTF, Candice was showing incredible improvement in the ring at WWE.
King: Right! And it's great that we have such a beautiful girl here to watch wrestle! I hope she does the Go-Daddy dance, JR!
JR: Down, boy.
Candice slides into the ring and sizes up her opponent. The crowd cheers loudly as both girls are fan-favorites. Torrie returns Candice's pointed stares. These two had once been friends, but a series of backstabbings and double crosses had made them dubious of each other. The bell rang and Candice lept at Torrie. Unprepared, Torrie was driven to the mat by Candice's Lou Thez Press. Candice, straddling Torrie on the floor, started to wail away with her fists as Torrie covered up. The ref pulled Candice off just allowing Torrie enough time to get up. Within a blink Candice charged again and clotheslined Torried through the middle rope. The crowd cheered loudly as Torrie fell to the outside and Candice did her Go-Daddy Dance.
JR: It would seem Candice is in control.
King: But JR, look!
Torrie was quickly back up on the ring and climbing the turnbuckle. As Candice turned around Torrie jumped at her with a crossbody splash. Torrie caught Candice square and landed right on top of her. Had this been WWE Torrie would have had Candice Michelle down for the three count, but it wasn't, and after a moment of confusion Torrie tried to lock Candice into an STF. Candice was waiting though and rolled away. Getting to her feet Candice caught Torrie with a kick to the gut and grabbed her, and planted her with a DDT. Torrie was barely conscious as Candice slapped her in a Boston Crap. With the move locked it Candice started to tickle Torrie's pale, sensative feet. Torrie was unable to resist and soon cried out in laughter.
Torrie: No!! NO..HAHAHAHAHAH.. AHAHAHAHAHA.. Not my feet!!HAHAHA.
Candice: I can't hear you Torrie, what?
Torrie: I..HAHAHAHAHA..said.. PLEASE!! HAHAHAHAHA.
Torrie writhed on the ground, squirming with her stroke of Candice's hand on her foot. She reached for the ropes but she was simply too far. Then, in a bizarre moment, turned to her puppy at ringside.
Torrie: Chloe! AHHAHAHAHA.. Help.. HHEHEHEHE.. Mom-HAHAHAHAmmy!
King: She's pleading with her dog for help, JR!
JR: This has got to be it.
Torrie reached out to her dog, but soon found herself tapping the mat hard.
JR: Torrie taps! Torrie taps!
King: Wow JR! That wasn't even close!
Candice jumped ot her feet and threw her hands up in the air. Torrie Wilson curled up on the ground embarassed at her submission. Candice came over and helped her to her feet, and then raised her hand in the air. The two competitors then hugged in the ring.
JR: Incredible Sportsmanship by Candice Michelle!
King: They hugged JR! You know what comes after that!
JR: Can you get a life? Anyway, that's it for tonight folks! Join us next week for the continuation of the first round in the DTF tournament, and two weeks from now as the self proclaimed "Most Dominant Diva" Melina faces off against the Go-Daddy Princess, Candice Michelle!
---
The screen then goes to the back where Melina and Victoria are watching the monitor.
Melina: First Ashley talks smack and now Candice Micelle takes out Torrie Wilson. I already don't like how things are going. But if there's one person I know I can trust, it's you Victoria. And I know how to make sure that next week Ashley gets what's coming to her...
