For close to a month now, ROH World Women’s Champion Athena has been riding on this wave as the head of the women’s division and creating a stable of followers.
Athena has taken it upon herself to build a legion of yes women, to behave and look how she wants the to. When she wants.
The two unwilling participants happen to be backstage interviewer Lexy Nair and upcoming star Billie Starkz.
Lexy has been deemed the World Champion’s resident bestie.
She has to accept all hugs, laugh at all of Athena’s jokes and even don a handmade Athena’s Bestie t-shirt whenever she’s on the job.
A handmade T-shirt took Athena 17 hours to make and bedazzle by the way.
The sheer reluctance that Lexy has for being Athena’s bestie, is absolutely hilarious.
Add in the fear that is visible whenever Lexy feels that she has annoyed or upset Athena. causes you as a viewer to want to get her out of this arrangement.
Billie Starkz on the other hand is different. She wants to be around Athena. Loves to root her on.
Loves to be under the learning tree of someone who has been able to keep the ROH Women’s world
Title for 278+ days.
To clarify, Billie likes the mentorship that should be founded on a mutual level of respect as accomplished wrestlers.
A partnership that will allow them to have phenomenal tag team matches against teams like the renegade twins.
Not as a self proclaimed Minion in Training. Or Billie Goat, as she was lovingly described as by the Women’s World Champion.
Starkz is also being forced to wear a Minions in Training shirt on the job, to her dismay.
On the latest episode of ROH TV, Athena made Lexy present a long list of duties that Billie has to do in order
to fulfill her role as a minion. A minion to do list. That has to done within two weeks.
Some of the duties include:
Carrying around a banana
2.Saying Irish wrist lock five times really fast
3.Punch and kick a tree
Make Someone Cry
Not cheering for a single day.
This is going to be a huge struggle for the bubbly Billie Strakz.
How will Strakz manage in the ROH locker room without bringing that fun loving energy that we all know and love?
How can she stay true to what makes her unique?
Will she just become a clone of Athena?
Will Billie give in to the minion in training demands?
Or will she rid herself of the Women’s World Champion tyrannical demands??
Stay tuned to all things Ring of Honor TV, by watching their weekly show on Honor Club every Thursday at 7pm est.
