Anita Ekberg

After a Round 2 elimination by Penelope Cruz at WWYD5, Ekberg was a surprise package at Queen's Cup V and finished in the final four suffering a double-disqualification against Barbara Palvin in the Semi-Finals after a mysterious last-minute surge of votes on the orders of Commissioner Damian Hurley. Ekberg teamed up with Marylin Monroe as the Vintage Vixens at the 1st Tag-Team Tournament but did not progress beyond the Group Stage.
WWYD Franchise

## Overview

The WWYD Franchise is the company that organises and promotes the WWYD Tournaments. The original Owner was Walter Day, who also served as Head Referee, but he was made an "offer he could not refuse" by Silvio Berlusconi following WWYD3 which triggered the Med Event Mafia Takeover. The Med Event Mafia era would prove short-lived, however. During WWYD4, Tony Blair persuaded Berlusconi to sell the company to a mysterious organisation, led by Sir Charles Lynton, called The Consortium Inc. to trigger The Consortium Takeover.

## Structure

The management of the company tends to involve the following key personnel:

* Owner
* Commissioner
* Head Referee
* Special Investigator

Most WWYD Superstars sign short-term contracts to participate in tournaments, but major stars such as "company ace" Jennifer Connelly and WWYD legends Michelle Pfeiffer, Liz Hurley and Monica Bellucci are known to have signed on for longer-term deals.

As well as the Superstars, there are a number of on-screen broadcasters who are contracted directly to the company, which include:

* Lead Analyst
* Colour Analyst
* Reserve Analysts
* Reporter
* Master of Ceremonies
Vote Cap

Vote Cap: WWYD matches are capped at 2,100 votes. No votes beyond this will be counted. The match will stop at 2,100 votes and the winner will be declared at that moment. This rule was introduced by Commissioner William Regal after extensive data analysis during WWYD3.

Special Investigator Robert Mruczek carried out extensive statistical analysis and determined the following:"Mr. Regal, sir, I have the report you requested. I have run calculations on 95 WWYD matches from across this tournament and WWYD2. The mean vote is 1504 with a standard deviation of 523.22. That means the extreme lowest votes are 981 and the extreme upper vote is 2027."
Bellucci-gate

## Overview

Bellucci-gate was a scandal that happened during the final of WWYD2 where evidence emerged that Bellucci's "Med" fanbase had not only engaged in organised campaigning for her, but also employed bots artificially to increase her vote count. After Connelly had been ahead in the match for over 12 hours, Head Referee Walter Day noticed that Bellucci's vote count jumped by over 2,000 votes in less then 30 minutes. Special Investigator Robert Mruczek then ran analytics on the vote to show that many of the new votes had not been cast by humans. Day initially wanted to keep the final going and simply apply a penalty to Bellucci. However, since the tournament had already seen Abigail Shapiro banned for life following Shapiro-gate, after protests, Day had no choice but to disqualify Bellucci and ban her for life also. Both bans were later lifted by Commissioner William Regal in the lead-up to the Queen's Cup II. He also changed the Rules by capping votes at 2,100 and reducing the window for voting from 24 hours to 12 hours. Both Bellucci and Shapiro had hired American lawyer Alan Dershowitz to push for their bans to be lifted. Dershowitz pointed out to Regal that Denise Richards had been allowed entry to the Queen's Cup despite being disqualified during Hansen-gate. After deliberating the matter, Regal decided that Shapiro and Bellucci should play each other and then the winner should face Christina Hendricks for a place in the Queen's Cup. The idea was that both women, having disgraced the competition with their scandals, would have to start again "from the very bottom". Bellucci won both matches but would go on to draw against Richards in the first round of the tournament and be eliminated on The Watson Rule.
Ian Wright

## Overview

Ian Wright is one of the Reserve Analysts for the WWYD Franchise who fill in when either the Lead Analyst or Colour Analyst are absent for any reason. Wright substituted for Alan Hansen before WWYD2 after Hansen left the studio to protest the inclusion of the late Queen Elizabeth II in the competition, which led to the establishment of The Queen's Cup. Later, during Hansen-gate, Wright got injured, so Pierce Brosnan covered for Hansen instead. Since then, Wright has generally been seen as the substitute for Mark Lawrenson rather than Hansen. Indeed, when Brosnan substituted for Al Pacino for the entirety of the Queen's Cup III (because Pacino was not contracted for it, only the main tournament), Wright replaced Paolo Maldini (who had a similar one-tournament-only contract). Wright made predictions for the cup called "Wrighty's Predictions", a clear play on "Lawro's Predictions".

Wright, in sharp contrast to the deadpan and often dour Lawrenson, is a very excitable personality, frequently shouting "Yeah boi!", "INNIT", "oh my days", "WASSUP" and similar. Hailing from London, Wright often uses the phrase "cor blimey guv". Like Brosnan, he has a preference for curves, even veering into Fats, and dislikes skinny girls. He is also a noted fan of Route 2 or as he puts it "BOOTIES". He once bluntly stated, "I'm an arse man myself".
Locker Room

The Locker Room is the main place where the WWYD Superstars get changed between matches. Almost all the stars get changed at the locker room except for Jennifer Connelly who, as champion, has her own dressing room behind the Connelly Door and for a period the members of the Med Event Mafia were able to get changed at the Med Event Mafia Offices. Brooke Shields is known to be one of the friendliest superstars in the locker room and has on numerous occasions welcomed others into the fold. She and Cindy Crawford are said to be leaders in the locker-room although some, most notably, Scarlett Johansson have complained that they are a little too cliquey. The locker room was seen in WWYD6 when Catherine Zeta-Jones told Jim Cornette that she would be challenging Connelly for the WWYD Undisputed Championship alone.
Irastiia De Lescovien

Founding (IC and OOC)

OOC: Lescovien was founded by Ender on the 13th of August 2023 in the north eastern Elaria.

LORE/IC: The city state of Lescovien had always been ruled by the House Of Eqerii, from a strong and powerful line. The city state was founded by Qaotii Lesco Eqerii who was the chief of a nomadic people wandering across Elaria in search of a place to call home, after 3 generations of chiefs ending with Qaostii where he would establish the City State Of Lescovien after his middle name Lesco, therefore he created Lescovien. After two centuries of the Lescovien city state, their Imperatore Sacrii Asteriia Eqerii would declare that Lescovien would be shown on the map and declared the Irastiia De Lescovien (Lescovii for: Empire of Lescovien). The original title of the Imperatore Sacrii was Imperatore but after Asteriia took power he made it into the Imperatore Sacrii of a show of his strong belief in the Savelorii Faith.
The Consortium Takeover

## Overview

The Consortium Takeover took place during the wider Med Event Mafia vs. The Pantheon story arc when Hugh Grant called Tony Blair after Ana de Armas tried to assassinate Damian Hurley on the orders of Monica Bellucci and Silvio Berlusconi. When Damian was dancing around Grant's garden, an assassin -- who appeared to be Ana de Armas working under Bellucci's (and Berlusconi's) orders -- tried to kill him. When a shaken Damian asked Grant what they might do, Grant immediately called his old friend, Tony Blair who used his influence over Berlusconi to broker a deal in which the WWYD Franchise would be sold to The Consortium Inc.. As part of the deal, which took place in Sir Lynton's Office, Bellucci and her team were to be replaced, and they were ordered not to "rock the boat" while the transfer was completing. This accounts for why Bellucci did not try to disqualify any of The Pantheon during the Quarter-Finals of WWYD4. Following the completion of the tournament, the Chairman of The Consortium, Sir Charles Lynton, reinstated most of the staff of the pre-Med Event Mafia-era including William Regal as Commissioner, Walter Day as Head Referee, Robert Mruczek as Special Investigator, Alan Hansen as Lead Analyst, Mark Lawrenson as Colour Analyst, and Philippa Forrester as Reporter. However, Sir Lynton seemed to be want to be more involved in the management of the franchise than it first appeared; he reminded Regal and Day that their first responsibility was to their private investors and to "protect the crown jewels". They also announced Dr Willa Wanda as Chief Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Officer, who wanted to see, among other things, more ethnic superstars and more body positivity in WWYD. She also instigated a crackdown on OnlyFans stars which eventually resulted in a new "No E-thots" policy to be added to the rules. The Consortium also appointed Sean Mooney to operate the new WWYD Hotline. Following the X-Factor storyline, Lynton's Interest in Gio Scotti emerged.
Walter Day

## Overview

Walter Day was the first Owner of the WWYD Franchise, the de facto head of the Official Committee and the Head Referee. He was generally firm but fair, establishing many of the rules that we know today. However, following the many scandals of WWYD2, including Obama-gate, Hansen-gate, Shapiro-gate and Bellucci-gate, he suffered a breakdown of sorts and went "on leave" for some months appointing William Regal as the new Commissioner. When Day returned at the end of WWYD3, there were Rumours of Jennifer Connelly's Retirement, which he declined to answer. However, some hours later he revealed that while he had been gone, in his "darkest days", he was approached by Silvio Berlusconi who "made him an offer he couldn't refuse" which triggered the Med Event Mafia Takeover. Day would not return until he was restored as Head Referee after WWYD4 following The Consortium Takeover. However, following the Pantheon Boycott, Day objected to the reinstatement of Cybil Shepherd and Phoebe Tonkin to take part in the Number 1 contenders group at Queen's Cup V. Sir Charles Lynton placed Day on indefinite gardening leave and replaced him with his trusted ally Jeremy Hunt. Lynton reasoned that ratings were more important than the official Rules, while Day maintained that places must be won by merit.
Obama-gate

## Overview

Obama-gate was a minor story leading into WWYD2 in which Janet Jackson had been booked to face the reigning WWYD champion Jennifer Connelly in Round 1 but mysteriously withdrew owing to "a clash of schedule" shortly before it began only to be replaced by Michelle Obama. News of the change of booking leaked before it was announced. Rumours circulated that The Pfeiffer Brigade were behind the leak but their chairmen denied it. This led critics of the WWYD Franchise, including The Pfeiffer Bridage, to claim that the Official Committee were trying to rig the tournament in Connelly's favour. When Philippa Forrester asked Obama about it ahead of their match, she objected that she was any weaker than Jackson and claimed those saying so were "racist". The story was much overshadowed by more controversial events during WWYD2 such as Shapiro-gate and Bellucci-gate.
Brooke's Books

Brooke's Books is Brooke Shields's secondary "signature shot" typically reserved for important matches. Like her primary shot Endless Love, it is taken from a 1981 film, *Endless Love*. She used it in her debut match against Lana Del Rey in Round 1 in WWYD2, to win 68-32. In WWYD3, she used it to defeat Salma Hayek, 61-39, which triggered the Salma Hayek vs. Brooke Shields blood feud. In WWYD4, she once again used it against Salma Hayek in Round 2 and once again won, 56-44, even though Hayek used her own signature shot, Beach Dreams.
Christina Hendricks

Hendricks holds the dubious distinction of the worst win-loss record ever in WWYD singles competition: played 5, lost 5. This is despite being a noted master of Route 1. Hendricks did eventually secure a win for herself in the 1st Tag-Team Tournament where she formed T&A with Nikkita Lyons against Yellow Fever.
WWYD

## Overview

WWYD stands for "Who Would You Do?", it has three definitions each of which are used widely:

1. The overall name of game which is played. WWYD pits two women head-to-head and asks voters to pick who they would prefer. Although this seems simple, many rules have arisen around the game. WWYD games take place on Twitter and are hosted by the account OG Roland Rat.
2. The name of the WWYD Franchise that operates the official tournaments.
3. The name of the main tournaments themselves, which are numbered WWYD1, WWYD2, etc. Technically, these tournaments are labelled as "The WWYD World Cup", although this phrase has never been spoken by anyone and has only ever been used on the spreadsheets used to record the official results. The WWYD tournament takes place roughly once every two months, with The Queen's Cup taking place during the month in-between. This pattern was established after WWYD3 before which the tournaments were monthly with The Queen's Cup taking place in the middle of each month. Since Jennifer Connelly won the first four tournaments, shortly before the Queen's Cup IV, Commissioner William Regal announced that she was to become the new WWYD Undisputed Champion and was awarded a world title belt. Now the winner of the WWYD Tournament would become the number #1 contender to have a shot at the title.

Some commentators, especially those who advocate Route 1 and Route 2 tactics, focus on the meaning of the phrase. They criticise masters of The Straight Bat such as Michelle Pfeiffer on the basis that the game is not called "Who Would You Marry?". On the other hand, purists such as Alan Hansen take the opposite view -- that "class" and "beauty" is how the game is supposed to be played and that smuttiness brings down the tone and should be derided. There is a middle-way between these two philosophies epitomised by the views of Mark Lawrenson which is the pragmatic view that the best tactic is "whatever wins".

Michael Aspel

## Overview

Michael Aspel is the Master of Ceremonies for WWYD typically leading the Quarter-Final Draw during which he is in charge of drawing the balls to determine the matches. The matches for The Queen's Cup II were also performed by draw where Aspel was helped by a drunk Rod Stewart. Aspel has rarely interacted with the WWYD Superstars with the notable exception of the time Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz tried to seduce him during WWYD3 as part of the Salma Hayek vs. Brooke Shields blood feud. Aspel is usually seen carrying a red-leather-bound copy of "The Complete WWYD" with him, an almanac featuring the history of WWYD, statistics and other such details.
Gina Carano

Carano was an early member of the Med Event Mafia and was said to be the group's "enforcer" until the role was largely taken over by Lauren Jauregui and Ana de Armas. Since she was primarily used as "muscle", Carano did not have many matches. She defeated Hope Sandoval in Round 1 of WWYD3, but was soundly beaten by future stable-mate Claudia Cardinale in Round 2 and then annihilated by Brooke Shields in Round 2 of WWYD4 after which she was fired from the group by Monica Bellucci.
Claudia Cardinale

## Overview

Claudia Cardinale was an early member of the Med Event Mafia. She reached the Elite Eight of WWYD2 but was soundly defeated by Michelle Pfeiffer in the Quarter-Finals. She reached the last 16 of WWYD3, but was destroyed by Brooke Shields. Now sliding down the card, at WWYD4 she lost heavily in Round 2 to Anne Hathaway. Dropping down to Queen's Cup IV she only won a single match and failed to qualify from her group. Along with Olivia Hussey, she quietly left the Med Event Mafia to little fanfare.
The Pantheon

## Overview

The Pantheon consists of the most successful players in WWYD history, who have dominated the competition since its inception. Its core members are 4-time champion Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Pfeiffer who has never failed to make the Semi-Finals, and Queen's Cup winners, Brooke Shields and Cindy Crawford. Liz Hurley left the group when she claimed to have Italian DNA and joined the Med Event Mafia. After WWYD4, Scarlett Johansson also left the group and joined Hurley in a new team called GTFO. The Pantheon formed following the Med Event Mafia Takeover when Commissioner Monica Bellucci vowed to destroy its members in the Med Event Mafia vs. The Pantheon storyline.

Although Connelly is the de facto leader of the group, since she is reclusive, seldom emerging from behind the Connelly Door, most of the on-screen interviews and appearances are handled by Pfeiffer, Shields and Crawford. Before the Queen's Cup IV, those three acted as judges in the X-Factor storyline where they scouted for new Pantheon members. Pfeiffer said "yes" to only 5 out of 34 hopefuls and only Barbara Palvin was earmarked as a potential future Pantheon member.

After an impressive performance against Marylin Monroe in WWYD5, Pfeiffer almost invited Palvin to join the group but held off, but eventually, after a perfect score of 9 in the Group stage of Queen's Cup V, she officially joined the group. However, after Damian Hurley disqualified Palvin in her Semi-Final match against Anita Ekberg -- a virtual repeat of his decision for Shields-gate in WWYD5 -- the group launched the Pantheon Boycott to force Sir Charles Lynton to reinstate William Regal.

Vanessa Ferlito

Vanessa Ferlito lost narrowly (51-49) to Denise van Outen in Round WWYD1. She was later reinstated by Commissioner Monica Bellucci and recruited into the Med Event Mafia. Despite appearing in promotional materials for WWYD4, Ferlito would not take part in the tournament because she was fired from the Med Event Mafia following machinations by Liz Hurley who had persuaded Bellucci she should join the group as part of the Med Event Mafia vs. The Pantheon storyline. Ferlito has not been seen in WWYD since and to date has only ever had one match.
Reporter

## Overview

The WWYD Reporter is responsible for securing interviews with the Superstars. The role was introduced at WWYD2 and was performed by Philippa Forrester until the Med Event Mafia Takeover when she was fired for reminding Commissioner Monica Bellucci that she did not win The Queen's Cup II as was replaced by Barbie Ferreira who Bellucci considered "too fat" to compete in the tournament. Following The Consortium Takeover, like much of the old staff, Forrester was reinstated with Ferreira rumoured to be coming back as a Superstar. Forrester and Ferreira have verbal abuse from various interviewees, especially Salma Hayek who routinely calls them "Fat" instead of using their names, and Bobby Heenan who treated Forrester with total contempt. Despite this, both reporters have maintained a generally cheerful disposition.

## List of Reporters

1. Philippa Forrester (from WWYD2 to WWYD3)
2. Barbie Ferreira (from Queen's Cup III to WWYD4)
3. Philippa Forrester (from Queen's Cup IV to present)

Philippa ForresterBarbie Ferreira
The Cuban Connection

The Cuban Connection is the team of Ana de Armas and Lauren Jauregui, both members of the Med Event Mafia. As the group developed, especially after WWYD4, when the Med Event Mafia became a more tightly defined unit of five, De Armas and Jauregui settled into roles as the group's enforcers, carrying out much of the "dirty work". De Armas tends to operate as a silent special agent utilising her considerable martial arts skills, whereas Jauregui is the bigger character of the pair and does most of the talking. Jauregui has come out as a lesbian and in interviews has strongly hinted that De Armas is her girlfriend and even referred to her once as her "Prince Charming". However, following the Med Event Mafia's Hospitalisation of Brooke Shields and the court case that followed, De Armas was seen under the desk of Clarence Thomas with the suggestion that she had performed sexual favours for him. They won the 1st Tag-Team Tournament.
Elite Eight

The "Elite Eight" refers to the eight competitors who reach the quarter-finals of WWYD. According to the Official Rules, these candidates gain automatic entry into the next tournament and become Seeds ranked from #1 to #8. The #9 Seed is always the winner of the Queen's Cup. There are two chief benefits to finishing in the elite eight: first, it should generally ensure weaker Round 1 opposition unless in exceptional cases such as during WWYD4 when Commissioner Monica Bellucci deliberately gave members of The Pantheon strong opponents as part of The Med Event Mafia vs. Pantheon storyline; second, under the rules, the #10 and #11 Seeds are the highest placed #1-9 Seeds to finish outside the Elite Eight, that means a member of the Elite Eight could theoretically go out in Round 1 and still be seeded for the next tournament. This occurred in WWYD4 when #2 Seed Scarlett Johansson lost to Monica Bellucci in Round 1 but still qualified for WWYD5 as #11 Seed -- this took place because five out of the previous Elite Eight made it to the Quarter-Finals again. Since #8 Seed Olivia Hussey went out in Round 2, she became #10 Seed. #7 Seed Audrey Hepburn also lost in Round 1 but by a heavier margin than Johansson, so she was eliminated (and will remain as such unless she is reinstated by the officials).

Clarence Thomas

## Overview

Clarence Thomas is a Supreme Court Justice who is directly assigned to oversee cases involving talent from the WWYD Franchise which is officially registered in Tampa, FL under the Eleventh Circuit to which Thomas is assigned (Alabama, Florida, Georgia).

Thomas first appeared at WWYD2 after Shapiro-gate when he dismissed the appeal against her life-time ban made by Abigail Shapiro and her brother Ben as having "no standing". He was not seen again until The Trial of William Regal at the Queen's Cup IV when he upheld Lauren Jauregui's discrimination case against him as argued by her legal counsel Monica Bellucci. It was suggested that Jauregui might have been performing "favours" for him in return for him to rule in her favour.

Later, at the 1st Tag Team Tournament, following the Med Event Mafia's Hospitalisation of Brooke Shields, Thomas again ruled in their favour after Bellucci argued they had been acting in self-defence, and Jauregui once again put on a tearful performance at the stand. This time is was made clear that Thomas was needed receiving "favours" from the group, as Ana de Armas was seen under his desk.
Med Event Mafia Takeover

## Overview

The Med Event Mafia Takeover occurred at the end of WWYD3. Owner and Head Referee Walter Day had been on leave suffering from depression and stress following the events of Bellucci-gate. When he was at a low moment, Silvio Berlusconi made him "an offer he could not refuse" and bought the WWYD Franchise for an undisclosed sum that we know ran into "the millions". Berlusconi immediately fired William Regal as Commissioner and appointed Monica Bellucci. She was almost immediately approached by Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz who pledged themselves in tribute to Bellucci as their new "queen". This was the de facto start of the Med Event Mafia and Hayek remained Bellucci's unofficial number #2 throughout their existence with Cruz as the third most prominent member of the group.

Bellucci wasted no time in wielding her new powers and reinstated Hayek (who had been officially eliminated following her Round 2 loss to Brooke Shields in WWYD3), Lauren Jauregui, Gina Carano, Vanessa Ferlito and herself to form the Med Event Mafia with Cruz, Olivia Hussey and Claudia Cardinale as the other members.

When a hype video for WWYD4 showed Alan Hansen praising Jennifer Connelly and appearing to play down Bellucci's "attributes", Bellucci fired both him and his long-time on-screen partner Mark Lawrenson and announced that Al Pacino and Paolo Maldini would be the official pundits in WWYD4. After Bellucci called The Queen's Cup the "losers cup" in an interview, roving reporter Philippa Forrester reminded her that she lost in the first round of Queen's Cup II and Bellucci immediately fired her. Barbie Ferreira was announced as Forrester's replacement. Other staff members such as Pierce Brosnan, Ian Wright, Michael Aspel and Robert Mruczek all managed to hold onto their jobs. However, in the case of Mruzek this would not be for long. This event led directly to the Med Event Mafia vs. The Pantheon storyline.
Dr Willa Wanda

## Overview

Dr Willa Wanda is the Chief Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Officer at The Consortium Inc. where she sits on the Board of Directors with Sir Charles Lynton. Dr Wanda has made it her mission to include more ethnics and "body positive" contestants (Fats) in WWYD. She has also campaigned against e-Thots and Superstars with OnlyFans accounts. After Michelle Pfeiffer filed a report following the X-Factor storyline, Commissioner William Regal took some recommendations from both Pfeiffer and Wanda on board. Wanda had earmarked Gio Scotti to be barred from competition under the new rules, but Sir Lynton intervened to after appearing to take an interest in Scotti. Although Dr Wanda is contracted to The Consortium and not to the WWYD Franchise, she nonetheless appears to have an @WWYD.com email address.
Pierce Brosnan

## Overview

Pierce Brosnan is one of the Reserve Analysts for the WWYD Franchise who fill in when either the Lead Analyst or Colour Analyst are absent for any reason. Brosnan substituted for Alan Hansen in WWYD2 after Hansen-gate. He substituted for Al Pacino for the entirety of the Queen's Cup III (because Pacino was not contracted for it, only the main tournament), and from the Semi-Finals onwards of WWYD4 after Pacino stormed off the set following the Med Event Mafia's total wipeout against The Pantheon.

Brosnan, in sharp contrast to Hansen, is a noted fan of Fats, and constantly complains about the Superstars not eating enough. He constantly makes reference to feeding them up with pies, Yorkshire puddings, pork scratchings, Guinness, and various other pub foods. Brosnan has been most excited for the 40-year-old version of Kelly Brook who has good "meat on her bones". Another huge favourite of his is Nigella Lawson. Brosnan has also made a number of pro-Irish comments during his commentary and claims that "Irish blood" is the secret of Jennifer Connelly's success. He has a real dislike of skinny girls.

Brosnan is the only analyst to have worked with three different partners: Mark Lawrenson, Ian Wright and Paolo Maldini.
Shapiro-gate

## Overview

Shapiro-gate was a scandal that happened during the Quarter-finals of WWYD2 where evidence emerged that Shapiro had employed bots to fix the vote for her against opponent Liz Hurley. After around 600 votes, Hurley was winning with 78% of the votes. In just five minutes, over 1,000 votes were cast, ALL of them for Shapiro. Analysts have found some sort of software might have been used because total engagements on the poll are around 1,000 fewer than the total votes – highly irregular. Shapiro’s brother, Ben, tried to sue the Official Committee, but the case was dismissed out of hand by US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Head Referee Walter Day banned Abigail Shapiro for life but this was later lifted by Commissioner William Regal in the lead-up to the Queen's Cup II. Both Shapiro and Monica Bellucci (who had similarly been banned following Bellucci-gate had hired American lawyer Alan Dershowitz to push for their bans to be lifted. Dershowitz pointed out to Regal that Denise Richards had been allowed entry to the Queen's Cup despite being disqualified during Hansen-gate. After deliberating the matter, Regal decided that Shapiro and Bellucci should play each other and then the winner should face Christina Hendricks for a place in the Queen's Cup. The idea was that both women, having disgraced the competition with their scandals, would have to start again "from the very bottom". Bellucci won both matches but would go on to draw against Richards in the first round of the tournament and be eliminated on The Watson Rule.
Alica Schmidt

# Overview

Alica Schmidt made one of the most explosive debuts in WWYD history at WWYD6 where she destroyed established-star Anne Hathaway in Round 1, comfortably beat Emily Ratajkowski, narrowly defeated Med Event Mafia mainstay Penelope Cruz, widely considered a "world-class" superstar, and to everyone's shock held Monica Bellucci to a draw.

# Storylines and Controversies

## WWYD6

Schmidt made everyone sit up and take notice with a string of eye-brow-raising results including a draw with one of the all-time WWYD greats Monica Bellucci and a defeat of Penelope Cruz. Many Med Event Mafia fans complained of cheating in these matches (further details here.
WWYD Undisputed Championship

## Overview

After Jennifer Connelly had won the WWYD tournament four times in a row with a perfect 24 played, 24 won record and an average score of 72.3 (known as The Streak), Commissioner William Regal announced that she was to be crowned as the new WWYD Undisputed Champion (also known colloquially as "The World Title") and withdrawn from the regular competition in order to defend her new championship. The rules were updated to reflect the fact that the winner of the WWYD tournament would now become the number #1 contender to have a shot at the title at the next event. Under the new rules, the undisputed champion must defend the title at least once a month (i.e. at every WWYD event). A "number 1 contender" group was added to the The Queen's Cup to determine who would face the champion at the next WWYD tournament, while the eventual WWYD winner would face the champion at the next Queen's Cup and so on.

## Rules

1. The title must be defended at every event.
2. The champion must not repeat shots in successive matches: each shot has a 6-shot "cool down" period.
3. The winner of the WWYD Tournament faces the WWYD Undisputed Champion at the following Queen's Cup.
4. The loser of the title match at The Queen's Cup enters the following WWYD Tournament as #1 Seed.
5. The winner of The Queen's Cup facts the WWYD Undisputed Champion at the following WWYD Tournament.
6. Should the champion lose this match, she enters the following WWYD Tournament as #1 Seed and 1-8 seeds are pushed down one seeding.
7. The title can only change hands on a clean win, champion retains in the event of a draw of disqualification.

Ghostly Executor

### **"This sword will forever haunt your enemies."**

The **Ghostly Executor** is an item in SCP RPG that was obtained by purchasing it for **2,500,000 Candy** from the Halloween 2023 event. The **Ghostly Executor** has two attacks. Its normal attack deals **186** damage while its explosion attack deals **178.5** damage.

You can also obtain the **Ghostly Executor** through trading.

Originally, the **Ghostly Executor** was going to be obtained during the **Summer 2023** event, but with a different name: “**Tidal Executor**.” Unfortunately, the event was never released. So, it was changed to the “**Ghostly Executor**” for the Halloween 2023 event.
Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews is unique in the history of WWYD because she entered WWYD1 twice, once as Mary Poppins and once as Maria from *The Sound of Music* -- this is because The Taylor Rule had not yet been implemented. Andrews's journey through the tournament is a good example of why the rules had to be updated. As Poppins, Andrews defeated Kate Bush in Round 1, but as Maria she lost to Natalie Imbruglia. In Round 2, as Poppins, Andrews then met Imbruglia again and defeated her. She then lost to Nigella Lawson in Round 3.
Nigella Lawson

## Overview

Nigella Lawson is a cult-favourite among the WWYD-fandom and has the second-highest average score on record, which since the introduction of the WWYD Undisputed Championship has made her the official number #1 contender for Jennifer Connelly's title. Lawson has recorded many heavy wins, but her best finish was in WWYD1 when she made the Elite Eight and finished sixth overall. Lawson is known for her busty kitchen shots.

## WWYD1

Lawson recorded impressive wins over Big Suze (72-28), Jo "Supernanny" Frost (95-5), and Julie Andrews (as Mary Poppins) (65-35) before losing to Jennifer Connelly in the Quart-Finals (62-38).

## WWYD2

Lawson started the tournament with thumping wins over Claire Saffitz (89-11) and Susan Sarandon (81-19) before losing 61-39 in Round 3 to Claudia Cardinale in a match that some consider to be an upset. Commentators said that Lawson got her tactics wrong in trying to go toe-to-toe with Cardinale rather than sticking to her usual range of busty kitchen shots.

## WWYD3

Lawson, who had dropped down to #10 Seed in the ranking, again started strongly defeating Morticia Addams 89-11 before scoring a tight 52-48 win over Natalia Poklonskaya. However, she once again crashed out in Round 3 when she lost 62-38 to Penelope Cruz. It appeared that while Lawson tended to destroy weaker opposition, she struggled to defeat world-class talent. Since she was no longer in the Elite Eight, this loss signaled her elimination from WWYD.

## Queen's Cup IV

Shortly before The Queen's Cup, Commissioner William Regal announced that since Jennifer Connelly had now won the tournament four times with a near-perfect record and the highest average score in the records, she was to be crowned the WWYD Undisputed Champion and withdrawn from the regular competition in order to defend her new championship. The rules were updated to reflect the fact that the winner of the WWYD tournament would now become the number #1 contender to have a shot at the title at the next event. Under the new rules, the undisputed champion must defend the title at least once a month (i.e. at every WWYD event). Since Lawson was statistically the next highest average score after Connelly in the record books, she was reinstated by Regal and officially made the number #1 contender. Should she defeat Connelly, Lawson would become the new champion, but should she lose, she would enter WWYD5 as #1 Seed. In the event, she lost 62-38.

## WWYD5

Despite entering as #1 Seed, Lawson had a disappointing tournament losing to Liz Hurley in Round 2. Hurley had connived to change her booking by pressuring her son, Commissioner Damian Hurley.
Jobbers

A jobber is a contestant who is booked with the wide expectation that they will lose against a bigger-name WWYD Superstar. Jobbers are frequently used in Round 1 matches against top-seeded opponents. Contrary to those who believe this is to give an advantage to the Seeds, it is done primarily to protect up-and-coming new talent from being eliminated in Round 1. This was seen in practice during WWYD4, when Commissioner Monica Bellucci replaced jobbers that had been scheduled to face Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Pfeiffer and the other members of The Pantheon with hotly tipped new Superstars such as Alexandra Daddario and Lauren "Chungus" Jauregui who were, perhaps predictably, knocked out in the first round. The ultimate jobber in WWYD is Lizzo who holds the joint-record for the heaviest defeat, 96-4, to Priti Patel in WWYD1, and the joint-second heaviest defeat, 95-5, to Liz Hurley in WWYD4
Lizzo

Lizzo scored the all-time record loss to Priti Patel in Round 1 of WWYD1, 96-4. She was then specifically requested by Liz Hurley as her Round 1 opponent for WWYD4, and again lost 95-5. Lizzo is considered the ultimate WWYD jobber. During the 1st Tag-Team Tournament after the Med Event Mafia's Hospitalisation of Brooke Shields, Lizzo was brought in as Cindy Crawford's partner in the Semi-Finals, which was causing Crawford to lose to The BFFs by over 90, but it was not to be as the round was restarted after the Med Event Mafia were reported to the police and then acquitted at court.
Alan Hansen

## Overview

Alan Hansen is the Lead Analyst for the WWYD Franchise and has held the role for most of its existence except for during the Med Event Mafia-era when it was held by Al Pacino. Hansen is an extremely outspoken critic of the game, frequently decrying events as "shocking!". He has a strong preference for a "purist" approach foregrounding The Straight Bat and candidates such as Michelle Pfeiffer. By the same token he has a serious distaste for Route 1 tactics and a strong dislike of Liz Hurley. During WWYD2 his long-standing crusade against Hurley got the better of him and led to Hansen-gate, which also led to the disqualification of Denise Richards and Hansen's temporary suspension. As a result of his purism, Hansen has consistently railed against the inclusion of Fats in WWYD, as well as Olds, muscle girls, and other such novelties as cops and soap stars which were a feature of the first two tournaments. It was thanks largely to Hansen's tireless campaigning that the allocations for these sorts of alternative candidates were massively reduced from WWYD3 onwards.

Hansen is also among the most vocal critics of the voter base, frequently chastising them for their lack of refinement. He has lamented that sometimes boyish or masculine candidates do well. One of his catchphrases is to lambaste "the homosexual youth" for their lack of appreciation for feminine Superstars. Another variant of this is his phrase "the youth of today is basically a homosexual". Hansen's tastes are typically conservative when it comes to ethnic stars also, and he is generally dismissive of East Asians as lacking in curves.

Hansen was instrumental in establishing The Queen's Cup after he objected to the nomination of the late Queen Elizabeth II for WWYD2. While critics of WWYD cite Hansen as being behind the times and even a reactionary figure, many fans cite him as one of the key reasons they tune in and agree with many of his criticisms.

Hansen has exclusively worked with Mark Lawrenson as his partner to date. The two know each other from their footballing careers as both were Liverpool FC players in the early 1980s who went on to be TV pundits for *Match of the Day* in the 1990s and 2000s.
Barbie Ferreira

## Overview

Barbie Ferreira was the WWYD Reporter during the Med Event Mafia-era. She did her job quietly and pleasantly, but despite being ostensibly appointed by Commissioner Monica Bellucci, she did not seem to show favouritism towards the Meds. She did however, defend Bellucci at the end of her contract. Ferreira is said to have stayed on good terms with the WWYD Franchise despite The Consortium Takeover and is rumoured to be returning as a Superstar in the future as part of Dr Willa Wanda's drive for more inclusivity and "body positivity" in WWYD. She took part in WWYD5 as a contestant, defeating Penny Morduant in Round 1 before being demolished by her old boss, Bellucci, in Round 2, who had connived to switch the booking.
Nikkita Lyons

Nikkita Lyons got somewhat lucky in WWYD2 when suspensions to Abigail Shapiro and Monica Bellucci meant that she ended up with a place in the Elite Eight, despite getting destroyed by Michelle Pfeiffer in Round 3, 73-27. Lyons pioneered Route 2 tactics but did not have much success with them, she crashed out in Round 1 of WWYD3 to Valeria Watt and was not seen again until the 1st Tag-Team Tournament where she formed a team called T&A with Christina Hendricks, again without much success.
Olivia Hussey

Olivia Hussey was an early member of the Med Event Mafia. She impressed at WWYD3 where she defeated Julia Roberts and Tulsi Gabbard and was the beneficiary of a BYE to make the Elite Eight after Kelly Brook and Amy Adams were eliminated on The Watson Rule. She was then demolished by Jennifer Connelly in the Quarter-Finals. After this Hussey slid down the card, suffering an upset loss to Ionie Skye in WWYD4 in Round 2, and a Round 2 defeat by Cameron Diaz in WWYD5. By this point, she had left the Med Event Mafia and her WWYD career was over with little fanfare.
Emma Watson

## Overview

Emma Watson built a reputation in WWYD1 as a narrow-win specialist after several wins on razor-thin margins including a 50.1-49.9 win over Xena, which led to The Watson Rule being named after her. Despite reading the Elite Eight in the first tournament, Watson struggled to recapture her form again.

# Storylines and Controversies

## WWYD1

Watson defeated Daisy Ridley (58-42), Nicole Kidman (52-48) and Xena (50.1-49.9) before losing to Liz Hurley (69-31) in the Quarter-Finals. Watson's first three matches are notable for their narrowness, which led to The Watson Rule being instituted.

## WWYD2

Despite coming in as #7 Seed for the tournament, Watson crashed out in Round 1 losing 64-36 to Kelly Brook.

## Queen's Cup III

Watson was reinstated by Commissioner Monica Bellucci as a "Victim of Hurley" and lost every match in the tournament, conceding losses to Denise Richards, Britt Ekland, and Britney Spears. Watson's abject performance in the third Queen's Cup, coupled with her early exist from WWYD2 led to many commentators downgrading Watson to be among the lower echelons of the WWYD world -- a sad decline for a former member of the Elite Eight.

## 1st Tag-Team Tournament

Watson formed The Rulers with Elizabeth Taylor as both of them had Rules named after them. However, they failed to find much success and were eliminated in the Group Stage and getting their only win against the jobber team of the Black Panthers.
Natalie Dormer

## Overview

Natalie Dormer debuted at WWYD4 as part of Jim Cornette's faction, Corny's Cougars. Dormer was expected to progress in her opening bout, however things did not go to plan. Dormer and her opponent Natalie Portman battled to a stalemate of 50-50, thus The Watson Rule came into play and both participants were eliminated. Despite her manager's requests and gesticulating, the result stood and Dormer went home early. However, she was the runner-up of the Queen's Cup IV and reached Round 3 of WWYD5. At Queen's Cup V she failed to repeat her success and was eliminated at the Group stage.

# Storylines and Controversies

## WWYD4

Dormer was eliminated on The Watson Rule in Round 1 after drawing with Natalie Portman in "The Battle of the Natalies".

## Queen's Cup IV

Dormer had an excellent tournament finishing as runner-up behind Salma Hayek. Manager Jim Cornette was heavily criticised for his choice of shot for the final.

## WWYD5

Dormer reached Round 3, but was defeated by #4 Seed Brooke Shields.

## Queen's Cup V

Dormer had a disappointing tournament and failed to qualify from the Group Stage.

The Commissioner

The Commissioner is one of Monica Bellucci's "signature shots", but it has not yet been seen in competition. It sees her wearing a white blouse under a military-style jacket adorned with heraldic shields and badges. During her time as Commissioner Bellucci tended to favour appearing in the plain black dress seen in her profile shot, but occasionally would don the uniform, for example, for her promo before the Quarter-Finals. The most famous and prominent example of Bellucci utilising the shot is on the main tournament post for WWYD4.
Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace is a rare Michelle Pfeiffer "signature shot" which she debuted in the final of WWYD4 against Jennifer Connelly who had played The Mirror. Although Pfeiffer still lost the match 58-42, the result was a significant improvement on Pfeiffer's WWYD2 encounter that had ended 70-30. Some analysts believe Amazing Grace is the ultimate example of The Straight Bat played to perfection. It is taken from a 1980 fashion shoot
