Only problem with this article: It keeps referring to Thomas as "she" and "her."

Lia finally loses.

Loses to a female sword fighter.

Admittedly, sword fighting is studly.

Plus, fencers wear masks and the NWO loves the masked look.

Fencing is actually the lamest sport ever at professional levels; look up "olympic fencing" for extreme disappointment.

Fencers can quickly close the gap between an opponent, and then leap back.

Those who are reasonably skilled can put on a sharp tip on the foil , and kick some serious ass.

Trade in the foil, for and rapier. One quick poke in the chest or belly, and that's typically game over.

Not instant lethality, but an unanswered 3-6 inch deep poke, will prompt most to GTFO of the fight.
