Alizeh Midori vs. Angela Belti - The Young and the Restless

[BlackAkuma]

Spunk. Alizeh had oodles of it.

She wasn’t sure what reaction she would’ve gotten from the woman after that thrust kick, but she figured it would at least take some of the wind out of the Emerald Empress’ sails. Getting booted in the face was known to have that effect, in her experience.

Instead, it only seemed to egg her on. Despite the size and power difference, she still wanted more.

There was no holding back a chuckle. ”Ask and you shall receive.”

Even ‘the Perfect Woman’ wasn’t so arrogant as to use the same attack twice in a row, but that didn’t mean she was going to throw a soft ball. She charged in again, rushed Alizeh down, swung hard, trying to clobber the woman with a lariat aimed at her chest, trying to drop her hard to the mat.

When getting kicked in the face in the way that Alizeh just was there were two ways one could respond, with fear and newfound apprehension of an opponent, or eagerly with a new found appreciation. Alizeh chose the latter, seeing the powerful Italian woman before her in new light, one that fully appreciated just how quick and nimble the woman could be.

But she was far from done, and as Angela suddenly charged at her Alizeh would show that she could be quite nimble as well by waiting for the last moment that Angela was upon her before darting forward! At first it would look like she was just charging into Angela's lariat, but at the last moment Alizeh would lean back, throwing her legs out and lashing them around Angela's own before twisting her hips and using her legs to try and send Angela face first into the mat with a drop toe hold!

Angela should’ve seen it coming, really. She ran drop toehold drills with Dizzy all the time, a basic move that could help you out in so many ways if you get the timing right. Her daughter was still rusty in a lot of ways, but she picked this move up well enough, so well that she could even putting Angela herself down with it.

Occasionally.

So, of course, Alizeh would know it well, and she should’ve expected it as a counter to her lariat. But the moment got away from her, the excitement made her headstrong, caution went to the wayside and down she went.

Angela got her hands up at the last second and landed on her palms, saving her from the worst of it, but it was still a bad position to be in. Wanting to be on her feet as soon as possible, she tried to get her legs free and scramble up, hoping to rise before her opponent could make the most of the opportunity.

Smirking a bit wider as her drop toe hold successfully brought her opponent down to the mat face first Alizeh would turn and push up before rolling forward, right back onto her feet and in a standing position! Turning around to spot her foe Alizeh saw that Angela was quickly trying to get back up to her feet after the sudden drop down. Not wanting to let the heavyweight get her bearings though Alizeh would move in suddenly, snapping her leg up to kick the woman in the gut in order to keep her doubled over before leaping up to try and land on the back of her shoulders, hooking her feet over the older woman's arms before throwing herself forward, aiming to pull Angela up and over with a sunset flip power bomb! If Alizeh was successful in landing the move she would keep Angela's weight pressed forward for a pin fall position!

Alizeh likely thought she was on a roll with Angela - and she was. This was the right strategy, staying one step ahead of her opponent, forcing her to keep up with the younger, faster woman, wearing her out with this quick, spirited offense.

That didn’t mean it was going to work, however. Angela knew exactly how to deal with wrestlers like this: You had to shut them down. Hard.

Alizeh kicked her in the stomach, doubling her over, then jumped on her back, the telltale start of a Sunset Flip Powerbomb. It would’ve been a great move on just about any opponent, but on someone nearly twice her size with the experience and power to actually do something about it? Well…

Instead of falling back, Angela planted her feet and jerked forward, canceling Alizen’s moment with her own, leaving her sitting on her back for an awkward moment. She wouldn’t stay that way for long, however - in the next moment, the titanic Italian stepped to the side, reared back, then brought her upper body down with all the force she could muster, hoping to send Alizeh flying off and hurtling into the nearest corner.
