Holly Matheson took deep, measured breaths as she prepared to go out and face a packed arena of jeering, mocking faces yet again. Tonight’s event, the first international LAW pay-per-view, should have been a major event for her. It was Holly’s first time in years since she’d wrestled in front of a non-Japanese crowd, a chance to show a whole new set of eyes what she had to offer … and she was going to be walking out in front of them with this massive, humiliating piece of trash strapped around her waist, the Loser’s Championship!
“Stiff upper lip, and all that,” Holly reminded herself, pulling her bustier up to tuck her curvy figure snugly into her singlet, before stepping through the gate to face the crowd. As
“Miracles” blared on the loudspeakers, Holly looked out over the fans … and was immediately greeted by laughter, mockery … apparently, the infamy of the Loser’s Championship had preceded her.
Nonetheless, Holly held her head up high, puffed out her chest, and walked down the ramp with all the dignity she could muster. Holly raised a hand in greeting to the crowd, but kept her gaze firmly on Ossi Shamar, her opponent for the night. Holly tried to size the woman up, to get a read on her. Ossi had a terrible record, she had to be someone Holly could beat, she told herself … right before thinking that she had told herself exactly that, before!
Holly reached the ring, and pulled herself up onto the apron. Perched there, the British Bombshell flexed for the fans, drawing mocking laughs from the packed crowd. Holly bit her lip, trying not to let the hurt show, and wiped her boots. She stepped between the ropes, even managing to screw that up as her ample bust grazed and bounced off the ropes, throwing her off balance for a moment. The Brit’s face was a bright pink as she removed her championship, and handed it to the referee. She tried to focus on Ossi, instead.
“Get a good look at your new belt, luv,” Holly said, trying to sound tough even with the nervous tremble in her voice.
