Tina vs. Aiko

[Highfly]

Tina had her legs clamped around Aiko's waist, and after her punches landed she had another idea. She was in position for a rear naked choke... sort of. Tina was clamped onto Aiko's front instead of her back, but she reached up, trying to wrap her arms around Aiko's head to choke her out while her body scissors crushed Aiko's torso! "Ngh.... come on tap out!" Tina said as she tried to apply the two pronged hold with as much pressure as she could! She knew Aiko was feisty, but a hold like this could sap the fight out of people pretty effectively. She was hanging on, hoping to feel the tapping of a hand against her body or hear it against the mat as Tina was pretty worn out herself.

Tina's arms slid around Aiko's neck, and her head, but it was a needless addition to the hold. Aiko was just about done already. Between the crushing legs around her body and the sharp, repeated punches to her face, the rookie just didn't have anything left in her tank. She was done.

When Tina yelled at her, demanding that she submit, the blonde would get a response from Aiko in the form of a soft, strained whimper. Then, a feel seconds later, she would feel what she was hoping for: Aiko's hand, tiredly tapping against her her body, and soon after the sound of the bell.

Tina felt the tap and heard the bell, releasing Aiko and rolling to her side. Tina laid there for a moment looking up at the lights before she was able to get up to her feet. Tina stumbled around a bit as she made her way to the ropes, leaning on them to support herself. She looked back at Aiko and nodded to her. Tina made her way over offering a hand up. "You are one tough wrestler ya know that? I feel like I was lucky to have caught ya off guard when I did otherwise you'd have beaten me." Tina said as she smiled at Aiko, doing her best to show that there were no hard feelings.

Aiko laid there on her side after Tina let her go, eyes closed as she listened to the crowd cheering for Tina and her victory. She had lost. Her big debut and her first televised match and she had lost.

Sigh.

When the Tigress stepped over to her, Aiko accepted her hand and climbed to her feet, blushing as she listened to Tina's words to her. "T-thanks,", she answered, her cheeks darkening as she tried to avoid eye contact with the blonde. "I don't think I was that tough, though. I don't feel that tough, anyway..."

[Highfly]

"I felt the same way a few times. I had a tag match where my partner and I got absolutely destroyed by a team we've barely seen around since. I know how it feels to lose trust me." Tina said with a smile. "You almost had me a couple times and I had to pull off timely counters to really get back in the match. You don't give yourself enough credit!"

Tina made her way to the rope, sitting on the middle rope and pulling the top top high to make space for Aiko to get through. Aiko fought well and Tina wanted to give her proper credit for that. "We'll be seeing each other in the ring again Aiko and I know you will keep workin' at your game, improving all the while. You are gonna do really well here."

[Lunaspark]

Aiko smiled, despite her blush, and moved towards the ropes, nodding towards Tina as she passed through them.

"Y-yeah. You haven't seen the last of me. We'll fight again, one day!"

With that said, the young rookie stepped onto the apron and hopped to the floor, still smiling despite her loss as she began to make her exit from the arena.

Winner: Tina Armstrong
