Flying and Diving- Tess vs Anastasia [D]

[SubtleRoar]

"Alright, alright. You've got this!" *Tess hopped from foot to foot, trying to get herself hyped up for her impending bout for the night. She would easily be lying through her teeth if she said she wasn't nervous, but it wasn't the type of anxiety that would cripple her in-ring ability; it was more centralized around wanting to prove to the world what she was capable of, score another victory that she could add to her growing collection, and potentially make a new friend along the way. However, she wouldn't be able to dwell on this feeling for too long, as her name would subsequently be called.* "You can do this Tess! Just put one foot in front of the other!"

*As she sped down the hallway, blasting past anyone and everyone in her path Tess eventually reached her destination- The opaque curtain. This thinly-veiled wall was the only piece of separation between herself and the live audience that eagerly anticipated her appearance. After taking a few seconds to shake off the apprehension, she nodded towards the sound director to allow her theme to fill the auditorium. Bursting through the curtain, Tess was greeted with thunderous applause, nearly bringing a tear to her eye as she struck her signature pose.*

*Deciding that she would change things up a bit, Tess began skipping down the ramp, occasionally waving towards her fans as she hopped up the steel steps and over the top rope, landing full force on her feet before spinning around and striking her pose once again!* "Yeah! Let's do this!" *She shouted, completing her entrance before resting herself against her neutral corner.*

Anastasia was doing warm up stretches backstage as her opponent made her entrance. In all honesty, Anastasia didn’t really care who her opponent was. She seen her about two times today, but never bothered to exchange words with her or even remember her name. Only thing she remembered was her dorky smile. The Latina scoffed at the memory and began walking out as her music started playing. “No sweat at all...” She said to herself smugly.

Anastasia came down the ramp, staring at the ring with a look that expressed cool calm confidence, acting as if she’s been wrestling here for years. The crowd roared with mixed reactions as she strolled down to ringside. Some were just excited for the newcomers, while some could tell that she didn’t really come out looking to make people smile. After getting to ringside, she chuckled and looked at her opponent in the ring. She walked up the ring steps to the apron before hopping up the top turnbuckle and soaking in all the energy from the crowd. Some cheers some boos. She smirked, as it was all the same to her. She mouthed the words “be jealous” to the green-clad rookie before coming down to the mat with a perfect front flip. Talk about flashy...

*While bouncing from foot to foot to get herself energized, Tess couldn't help but focus her attention on her foe's introduction- Her attire was flashy, her attitude was nonchalant and it seemed as though she was reassured with who she was, despite the audience giving her a rather lukewarm reception. However, despite this the cheery aviator couldn't help but unintentionally gawk at her opponent, the outfit she prominently wore left very little to the imagination. As the woman finally reached the ring, Tess approached the center of it with an ecstatic expression stretching across her face.*

"Pfft, yeah right!" *She responded, acknowledging the playful banter the voluptuous blonde threw her way while stretching her arms up towards the ceiling.* "I'm far more athletic than you know, and just you wait until we...!!!" *Her retort was immediately cut short when she witnessed an immaculate somersault, leaving Tess utterly speechless for a second before she finally peeped up.* "...O..okay, that was cool." *She tentatively admitted before gesturing for the woman to join her.* "Still! I want to see what you've got!"

Anastasia rolled her eyes at her opponent before motioning for the referee to ring the bell. “Let’s just start. Your voice is already getting me pissed.” She said flatly to Tess, punctuating her sentence by brushing her hair out of her own face. The referee did as they were told and rang the bell, starting the match officially.

The Latina’s confidence was like an aura around her, as she believed in her own hype to that level. It almost made her impossible to look away from. Despite this, she was still quite surprising when she moved across the ring to her opponent to lock up, moving with grace and much speed. It was clear she wanted to swiftly get Tess into a corner.

*Used to a fair exchange of compliments, Tess was temporarily stunned when Anastasia rebuked her statement and even went so far as engaging in the match without a proper introduction. Still, she reciprocated all the same, locking up with her foe while simultaneously trying to regain her focus.*

"Nngrh..l..like it or not, you'll be tasting the canvas before you know it!" *Relying on her natural strength to overpower her opponent, Tess started investing more power into her legs with each passing second to try and gain the upper hand!*
