Words: 1400+

Another character for Seb in the books! Johnny is fucking adorable and I love him. He deserves the puss 😏🤣 I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you guys think! xox

"Are you sure that Marina won't mind? I mean, she's paired up with Johnny," you ask your friend, Tina, while fiddling with your fingers.

Tina laughs and shakes her head. "Y/N, I'm still in shock that you have a crush on Johnny Nunzio," she chuckles while tugging up the skirt of her wedding dress.

"Yeah, I agree," Donna mutters, helping the woman, "I mean he's kind of an idiot, Y/N."

Your cheeks blush and you shrug your shoulders. "I don't know, guys. He's really cute," you grin, causing the blonde to pinch your cheeks.

"Aw, Tina! Our little one is in love," Donna chuckles as you swat at her hand. "Girl, I'm sure Marina won't mind at all. She doesn't even see him that way."

"Oh, good," you mutter and let out a sigh of relief, the smile on your lips widening. "I should let you guys get ready. I'll see you at the church!"

The girls wave you off and you let out a laugh before walking out of Josie's, Tina's mother, house. You make a quick pit stop at home to change into the dress you bought for the occasion.

You walk up to the church, your fingers playing with the lace on your red off-the-shoulder dress. You see Johnny leaning against the car with his brother and two friends, a smile coming to your lips.

"Hey, Johnny," you greet the brunette and his blue eyes meet yours.

His pink lips part slightly as Dom nudges his side. "H-Hey, Y/N," Johnny stutters as you continue walking by.

His eyes follow you until you disappear into the church. "I don't think I've ever heard you stutter before," Tony mentions with a smirk.

Johnny rolls his eyes and takes a sip from his beer bottle. "Shut up, I was caught off guard," he mumbles while chewing on the ends of his sunglasses. "She looks good, really good."

"Go for it, dude. You said you were getting a girl tonight. Shoot your shot," Dom says while slapping Johnny's back.

He adjusts his suit and glances towards the guy. "You think she'd go for me?" He mutters while running his hands through his hair.

Tony snorts, causing the younger brother to glance towards him. "I think so. She looks your way a lot," Tony informs him as everyone begins piling into the church.

You cross one leg over the other as the Pastor starts the ceremony and you couldn't help but glance in Johnny's direction every few minutes. You gently bite your lip, wishing you could speak to him more often without acting like a fool.

Your breath hitches in your throat as you glance towards the brunette, his eyes already looking at you. A quiet laugh leaves your lips as Johnny aggressively chews the gum in his mouth.

He smiles at you and you tuck your hair behind your ear, feeling a bit shy under his gaze.

The ceremony was… interesting. Probably one of the most dysfunctional weddings you've ever attended, to be honest. But, you're extremely happy for the two of them.

After driving over to the place the reception is being held in, you decide to try and talk to Johnny some more. You find a seat to sit in after walking into the building, waiting for Vinnie, the owner, to call in the wedding party.

You sip on the drink you got from the bar as Vinnie steps onto the stage. "For those of you who don't know me, my name is Vinnie Black. I am the Cadillac of Caterers and I welcome you to the Coliseum," Vinnie greets everyone before continuing his speech. "Folks, I am honored that Josie and her late husband, Vito, have entrusted me with her lovely daughter's wedding party."

A quiet sigh leaves your lips as Vinnie drones on about Tina, finding it a bit creepy at how the older man described her. He first introduces Tina's mother, and Tony's father, Anthony, the two coming out from behind the curtain.

You clap your hands, watching the two get their photo taken before they continue forward. Johnny and Marina get called next and you can't help but feel your heart flutter in your chest. Your eyes watch him as they walk out, seeing the bored expression on the brunette's face.

You stifle a laugh as the two walks past you. A smile etched onto your lips as your eyes meet Johnny's. He gives you a small wave and continues walking forward, his head whipping back to look at you for a few more seconds.

Tina and Tony were announced, causing the whole room to cheer. You stand from your chair and clap your hands together, smiling fondly at the two.

The dance floor clears a bit for the newlyweds to have their first dance as you head towards the bar. You hand the bartender your empty glass before returning to the dance floor.

Other members of the wedding party start to dance with one another when you walk up to Johnny. You fiddle with your fingers and tap his shoulder. "Y/N, hey," he smiles while moving his hand to rest on your arm.

"Hey, Johnny," you softly grin as a shiver runs down your spine. "I-Do you wanna dance with me?"

He glances towards Marina and she just nods her head before walking away. "Yeah, yeah," Johnny says breathlessly and rests one of his hands on your hips.

A blush dusts your cheeks as your left hand clasps with his while your right sits on his shoulder. The two of you sway to the music playing as you keep your gaze locked with his.

"You look beautiful," Johnny mumbles while glancing towards his brother.

You press your lips together and quietly thank him. You move to rest your head on his chest, hearing his heart beating quickly. "You look handsome, Johnny," you whisper loud enough for him to hear as the brunette's hands on your waist slide across your back.

He clears his throat, causing you to pull away from him. "I- You make me nervous," Johnny laughs as the two of you continue to dance.

"You make me nervous as well. It's okay," you mumble while squeezing his hand in yours.

Johnny lets out a deep breath before grinning ear to ear. He wets his lips and halts his movements. You furrow your brows as the brunette looks around the room, noticing everyone interacting with one another.

"C'mere," Johnny mumbles and drags you away from the others. You bite your lip softly and glance over your shoulder, seeing Tina giving you a thumbs up.

The two of you move behind the giant heart before Johnny turns to face you. "Why are we back here?" You giggle as he rests his hand on your cheek.

"So I could do this," he mutters before leaning down to kiss you.

Your eyes widen as a sharp gasp escapes your lips. Johnny takes a step closer to you while slipping his arm around your waist. You kiss him back and flutter your eyes shut, moving your arms around his neck.

He presses your body against his as your heart pounds against your chest. "Shit," Johnny whispers after pulling away from you, his forehead resting against yours.

"I-That was unexpected," you mumble, feeling your cheeks heat up.

"I've been wanting to do that for a bit," he mutters before kissing your lips lightly. "I just never thought you'd kiss me back."

A grin comes to your lips and you glide your fingers through his hair. "I've wanted to kiss you for a long time, Johnny," you confess to him.

He goes to say something when his father yells his name, startling the two of you. You glance over your shoulder as your hands slide down his arms.

"We should probably get back," Johnny whispers, causing you to glance back at him.

"Promise me we can do this again later?" You ask him while biting your lip, hiding your smirk.

The brunette wets his lips and smirks. "Oh, absolutely. I'm gonna wanna kiss you a lot," Johnny mutters before quickly kissing you once more. You hum and jokingly bite his bottom lip. Johnny lets out a growl and tightens his grip on your hips. "Don't tease me."

"Mm, I'll think about it, handsome," you wink before walking away from him, heading back towards the dance hall.

"Fuck, she'll be the death of me," Johnny mumbles to himself and follows after you.

My Review

Anarchy Rulz ‘99 takes place at a noteworthy point in ECW history. The promotion launched a cable show on TNN a month before the event. Normally this would be a cause for celebration, a major accomplishment for such a renegade promotion that persisted in the war between the WWF and WCW. However, ECW’s relationship with TNN was rocky from the start and its downfall would be one of the key components in hastening the promotion’s demise. They were also soon to lose its reigning heavyweight champion Taz to the WWF, who they’d been banking on to be a featured star on the TNN show. Stranger days were definitely ahead.

Perhaps reflective of the time period, the show itself is all over the place. It’s enjoyable enough, but there’s a lot of strange booking that totally loses me. It probably doesn’t help that I didn’t really watch ECW in its prime. A lot of it is presented to me completely removed from the context. Brawls transition into matches, matches unravel into brawls. It’s all pretty jarring to watch if you’re more familiar with the structure of, say, your typical WCW or WWF pay-per-view of the time. It also probably doesn’t help that ECW pay-per-views tend to not reveal a whole lot of backstory to the matches on the card. There are some scraps you can piece together in regards to the storylines of the time, but don’t expect the cinematic hype packages of your average WWE production that’ll help clue you in.

As for what works, I enjoy the opener and the two three-way dances quite a bit. The three-way for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship makes the bold choice to write out Taz minutes in, which results in us getting a taste of the Mike Awesome/Masato Tanka feud that continues to receive heaps of praise to this day. Amazingly though, in the trend of strange booking on this show, it doesn’t close out the night. The show lingers on for another hour or so, instead ending with a TV title match to showcase Rob Van Dam. It’s not a bad match or anything, but it can’t help but feel like a flat way to end things.

What really jumps out at me watching this show is that ECW seems to be peaking in terms of popularity and production values. From a commercial perspective, this is one of the most successful shows in the promotion’s history, especially in terms of attendance. The Odeum Expo Center may not be the grandest venue in the world, but it’s a major upgrade from the hole-in-the-wall venues of yore. ECW’s production always looked rough, and the promotion always prided itself on that, but things look much more polished by this point. We’re getting a product that still looks gritty as hell without it seeming they only have a budget of five dollars.

Overall, Anarchy Rulz ’99 sees ECW reaching some serious highs, with a feeling that things are soon to fall apart. There’s plenty of anarchy, and some of it is pretty fun, but there are definitely points where you’ll wish for a bit more order.

My Random Notes

So Cyrus decides to prove he’s brilliant and intellectually superior to everyone by culturally appropriating the bindi. Do I have that right?

Sad sign of the times: Simon Diamond cuts a promo about how women are only good for T&A and the crowd agrees.

I don’t think I’m breaking any new ground here by noting, but it’s amazing how often ECW equates “being extreme” with “being misogynistic and homophobic.” None of this shocks me, mind you, but it’s nonetheless aged appallingly. All the jabs thrown at Dawn Marie in the opening bout alone tells you everything you need to know. Also, how many times does the crowd chant about a male wrestler sucking dick?

Nova is dressed like he’s ready to joust for legions of tourists at the Excalibur Resort in Las Vegas. Tony DeVito, meanwhile, is dressed like he just finished some yard work around the house.

Amazing how many guys here would make up WWE’s mid card in the early to mid ‘00s. Super Crazy vs. Nunzio is definitely something that happened on Velocity once or twice. I don’t have proof, but I’m convinced it happened.

Who the fuck is Johnny Smith? Who the fuck is Judge Jeff Jones? Who the fuck is Tom Marquez?

I always roll my eyes at ECW using insider terms like “heat” or “getting over” or some shit. I’m sure it’s probably something that was seen as clever or edgy back in ’99, but it only makes me think about the cringe-worthy worked shoot garbage Vince Russo loves.

Slightly off-topic, but all the talk about ECW on TNN got me thinking about Roller Jam, which is a show I thought I just imagined but am happy to know it was real. I dare you to check it out. You’ll never dog the acting in professional wrestling ever again.
