“Welcome back to Celebrity Tickle Wrestling! If you’re just joining us you’ve missed the first two matches of round one where Henry Cavill pulled out an impressive win over Chris Evans and Mason Gooding edged out a win over Simu Liu with a classic schoolboy pin armpit attack” Eugene Lee Yang explained. “That’s right and lucky for us there’s one more match to go this round, sure to be just as exciting. Please help me welcome Shazam himself, Zachary Levi!” Josh Peck announced as the seasoned comedy star appeared from the left entrance as if all the people had shown up just to see him, hyping the crowd up even more as he walked down toward the ring. 

“Zachary’s opponent happens to be another funny guy a few of you may recognize – John Krasinski!” Eugene added and John entered from the opposite side, clearly just as enthusiastic as Zachary as he gassed up the audience. “Hold on, is that a t-shirt gun?” Josh asked as John shot shirt after shirt into the crowd with his face on it saying ‘Celebrity Tickle Wrestling Champion’. “Wow, that takes balls to declare yourself the winner this early” Eugene added with a laugh at John’s commitment and confidence. Zachary rolled his eyes and mocked the shirt idea as John entered the ring but Krasinski even handed one to their referee, The Rock, “A 3XL just for you, man” John added with a wink toward Zachary. “What a kiss ass” Levi added with a playful laugh as they got ready to begin, both of them in gym shorts and t-shirts, Zachary’s shirt red while John sported his own merchandise. 

“Alright, you know the rules already and that the match doesn’t end until one of you submits. You guys ready?” Dwayne Johnson asked. “Ready” both actors answered at the same time while sizing each other up. “Alright on 3; 1…2…3 - GO!” The Rock announced and Zachary sprang into action before John could react, pulling Krasinski’s shirt up over his head to disorient him. “What the hell?! Are you serious??” “Yep” Zachary assured before making use of his trick and launching onto John’s exposed pits while he tried to pull his shirt back down. “NNOoHAohOHA!! YyoOOUuCChHEEeAaATTEeRR!!” John complained as he finally got the shirt down but Levi was already firmly locked in place, wiggling into the meaty pits with surprising power. 

“That’s not cheating is it, ref?” Zachary asked while keeping John dancing in place against the ropes. “Nope, not that I know of” Dwayne answered while John’s signature goofy smile struggled to die down from laughing so hard already. “AhAoABBUUULLlSSHHIIIT!” John disputed while desperately trying to force Zachary’s hands out from under his pits but he wasn’t able to get away until finally slinking down onto the ring floor. “Oh my God! Did you take a tickle wrestling class or something??” a disheveled John challenged while getting his wits about him. “Didn’t you?” Zachary joked before reaching for John’s legs but Krasinski dodged the attempt and grabbed Zachary’s wrists instead, flinging him in the other direction and pulling down his shorts to trip him up. 

“HEY!” “That’s not cheating right?” John challenged with a smirk as Zachary hurried to pull his shorts back up after falling down but John took the opportunity to straddle Zachary’s stomach to face his legs while Levi’s hands were by his sides. “Get off me!” he tried to convince while struggling to get loose, unable to even see what John was up to until he felt two massive hands latch around his knees and start going to town. “WWOOoHaohAOWWOoahohaFFUuUUUCcKK!!” erupted from behind Krasinski and he flashed another cocky smile as he squeezed into both legs despite how much they tried to kick around. 

“I think people forget about the knees but they can really be a sweet spot” Josh commentated while Zachary floundered under his determined opponent. “Come on, Levi…this is pretty embarrassing; just give up” John teased as he squeezed back and forth between both legs to keep Zachary howling and cursing at him. “ahAOAHoAHAAohGGEeeETTToOoOfFFMMEEE!!” Levi shouted with renewed focus and slipped his hands free before sinking into John’s unsuspecting sides. “WWOoHohA!” Krasinski let out with high-pitched surprise and lost his advantage, allowing Zachary to corral one ankle in his arm and rip the shoe off. 

“It’s over now!” Zachary warned, happy to get back at John as he let his fingers fly all over the socked foot. “NoOoaOhAoAaohAAohAaSShHIIiTTAOhAOO NOoONO!!” John’s arrogance quickly melted and he fought to get out the hold but Zachary’s grip was too solid to easily break. “Oh man, I knew you were ticklish but this is crazy” Levi taunted with a devious smile toward the audience while scribbling up and down the thick sole. “FfuUCckKoOOFF!!” “Are you ready to submit?” “AHOAHnNNNEeEevVVEEERRR!!” John refused despite his situation. “Never say never!” Zachary answered as he took the toe of the sock in his hand and yanked it off before John could try to hold on to it. 

“We’re really losing the socks?! Come on!” John objected. “Who wants it?” Zachary called out into the crowd while waving around John’s dirty sock. “The hell are you doing?! That’s mine!” “Not anymore” Zachary replied before flinging the white ankle sock toward a young man in the audience on the other side of the divider. “Now that’s what you call fan service” Eugene pointed out with a wink into the camera, ready to see how bad off John was without any sock protection but Krasinski surprised everyone by grabbing one of Zachary’s ankles and quickly stripping his foot bare as well. 

“And John pulls a fast one! Now both competitors have each other’s bare foot locked in a headlock – it’s anybody’s game!” Josh announced at the twist and everyone watched the duo go at it again. “aAaHoHAAOHAohaASSTTtoOhoPPP!” “AhoAhJjuUSSTTGgiIivEEEuUpPP!!” Zachary and John erupted with mirrored reactions on the ring floor, struggling to tickle as mean as they’d like through their own roaring laughter. John’s plump size 12 proved to be just as sensitive as Zachary’s leaner 13 but they both gave it their all, with Krasinski scratching along Levi’s long toes and Zachary concentrating on John’s smooth arch. 

“I really don’t know how this is gonna turn out; I mean both of them seem to have really ticklish feet and neither seem to be able to break loose. Could we have our first draw?” Eugene proposed. “That would be interesting but honestly part of me could just keep watching them do this for a while” Josh admitted with a laugh. “AhAOhaOAHa OOKOOk WweEE’LLLBbRrEEAAAkKOONnN 3!” John suggested in hopes of getting a fresh position for both of them. “AAoAohAaohAohAAohFFIIINNEEE!” Zachary agreed, fearing he couldn’t handle John tickling his foot for much longer without tapping. “1…2…3!” they counted down after stopping long enough to hear each other and Zachary let go like they’d agreed to but John didn’t. 

“Wait a minute! John Krasinski didn’t follow through on the deal!” Eugene announced and John pulled Levi’s legs toward one set of ropes. “You asshole! We agreed!” Zachary protested while trying to get free. “You thought I was serious about that? You’re dumber than you look” John teased with another wicked smile and tangled Levi’s legs in the ropes until Zachary was on his back on the ring floor and his legs were totally stuck. “Now, this is for giving my sock away” John explained before taking Zachary’s remaining shoe and sock off. “Hey! Don’t do that!” Levi tried to stop but John reached down and grabbed the discarded sock as well and launched both of them into the audience to the fans jumping over each other to catch them. 

Zachary tried freeing his legs but John quickly returned before he could and forced his arms back to sit on them above his head. “Come on! This is bullshit!!” “Is that what they call winning these days?” Krasinski challenged before unleashing a fury of pokes and jabs all over Zachary’s upper body. “NO! nAOhoAHohAohAooOHA!! AAASSShHoOolLLEEE!!” fired out of Levi with a huge forced smile as John’ stiff fingers drilled into his ribs, chest, sides, lower armpits, and neck. “You should’ve worn a thicker shirt, man” John taunted as The Rock shook his head, “At least now when we fight in our movie I’ll know how to beat you” the Black Adam star teased. “AAHoAYyyEeAahHRRiiiGGhhTT!” Levi tried to dispute as if John wasn’t reinforcing how hilariously ticklish he was.

A sudden sharp reaction cut through the heavy laughter and echoed through the stadium after John tasered into the sides of Zachary’s pecs. “Oh no, I think Zachary may have just accidentally tipped John off” Josh pointed out as John’s eyes locked back onto that spot. “Let’s make this even better” Krasinski suggested as he pulled the shirt up to reveal Levi’s chest. “No! Fuck you! DonTHAOHaoAAHAHoAOhAOHAA!!!” gushed out of the DC star harder than any reaction the whole match, putting a bigger smile on his opponent’s face as he continued digging into both sides of his now bare chest. “AAAAAhoAohAohAohAOOkkOOKK!! aOhAoHAaAOHAOHAa IIIiTTAApPp!! IIiIIiMMmDDoOONnEEE!!” Zachary could barely get out but The Rock heard it and ended the match. 

“Wow! John Krasinski is the winner and he will advance to the finale!” Eugene announced. “He definitely earned this win; if I didn’t know any better I’d think he’d done this before” Josh added as John soaked up the audience's praise and Zachary sat up trying to unravel his legs from the ropes. “Hold on...just stay put down there; you’ve got some feet to worship” John reminded as he leaned against the ropes, tugged off his other shoe, and stopped himself before peeling off his sock. “Tell you what, why don’t you take it off for me” John instructed with his foot now above Zachary’s face. “Seriously??” “Seriously” John assured and Zachary sucked up his pride before reaching out to grab it, “What are you doing?” John stopped him. “Taking your sock off” “I meant with your teeth” John answered with a devilish smile. “…I hate you so much” Zachary replied after a sigh of disbelief and leaned up enough to take the toe of the sock between his teeth and pull it off his opponent’s sweaty foot. 

“John is really milking this win” Josh added with a laugh. “I’d love to know how many people at home are drooling over this right now” Eugene answered as Zachary followed through on the agreed rules and started licking along John’s smooth sole, taking long strides from heel to balls to get it over with faster. “You sure you haven’t done this before?” Krasinski teased, prompting Levi to nibble on his smaller toes. “OOhAOhEY! No tickling!! Tell him, Dwayne!” “Yeah, he’s right” The Rock agreed. “My bad” Zachary assured and went back to cleaning John’s big bare foot, slinking down the sides and flicking along the undersides of his juicy toes until the whole sole was shiny. “Alright, now help me up”

“What? You’ve still got a whole other foot” John reminded with a playfully evil laugh before putting his other, much dirtier foot in front of Zachary’s face. “You gotta be kidding me…” Levi’s face drooped with disgust, realizing he’d have to lick the remanence of the ring floor off his foot. “I’m waiting” John pointed out with a flex of his long toes but a few seconds later Zachary reached out and latched around the ankle before dragging his nails all over the naked foot. “OOAHoHWWOhAHaNNoonAHoHAAOHaWWhAATthheEEHHEELLL!?” John burst with a surprised uproar and lost his footing against the ropes as he slid down them and Levi tickled him as much as he could before The Rock jumped in to break it up. 

“What?! Zachary Levi with the sneak tickle attack on the winner!” Josh announced with an impressed laugh at the development. “I guess that shows you never really know what you’re gonna see here on Celebrity Tickle Wrestling. This is the final match in round one but next time on CTW our final wrestlers will compete for the title of Celebrity Tickle Wrestling Champion and cash prize!” Eugene signed off just as Dwayne Johnson finally got Zachary Levi off John Krasinski’s very handsome, very dirty, and very ticklish foot to break up the surprise encore and move onto the much-anticipated finale.
