The crowd was roaring outside as they waited in anticipation for the opening match of the show, so loud was their calls that they reverberated through the walls into the backstage area. There, sitting on a bench lacing up her boots was one Sakura Hagiwara. Wearing her classic white and red outfit she was finishing lacing her boots while a proud and ecstatic smile pulled on her face. Spoiler
Getting up she stretched her legs out and bounced from foot to foot in preperation for her match. Her first match in nearly a year. She was beyond excited for it. Her career in LAW had been marred by a early injury that took her out of commission for far too long for her liking. But now she was back and ready to show what she had! Walking out of the dressing room she confidently strutted out to the guerilla position right as the lights changed and her music kicked on. Spoiler
Soon enough her entrance music began and she immediately shot oof of the entrance ramp and struck a cute pose with her arm and leg up in the air. Immediately upon seeing her the crowd went absolutely wild at the returning face. Her fans within the audience could be heard the loudest among the popping crowd bringing a smile to Sakura’s face.
Strutting down the ramp and high-fiving some fans she would break into a run halfway down and leap up somersaulting into the ring and landing with a pose for the crowd who cheered in appreciation for the idol’s return to the ring! Turning and bending forward with her hands on her knees Sakura awaited eagerly for her first opponet for her return.
Tonight was quite a contrast to say the least. Lauren was almost 40 years old, barely fit in the wrestling one piece swimsuit she had and struggled to get any sort of following among the fans while harkening back to the 80s with her slam-centeic style in the ring. Facing her was popmsinger turned wrestler Sakura Hagiwara, a firm little thing with a giant fan base, bikini model body and a perceived higher ceiling talent wise than Lauren would ever have.
Lauren was going solo tonight without Peggy there to back her up. That was fine, she was going to go all out and take it to Sakura, showing her that an oldschool grappler could triumph over some teen queen.
Lauren's music began to play as she appeared in the arena, flexing her arms and strutting down the ramp as she received some cheers from the crowd although nothing like Sakura heard. She knew her legs and backside quaked with each step but she was hell bent on winning tonight.
Lauren walked up the ring steps and climbed in to the ring standing tall before making her way to the center of the ring, giving Sakura a nod. "Good luck little girl you will need it!" Lauren said with a smile, flexing a bicep.
Sakira waited patiently against her position in the corner, eager to see what kind of person her first opponet would be. Soon enough she would appear as a older lady appeared at the top of the entrance ramp. The cheers the woman received wasn’t as much as Sakura’s own but the former pop star attributed that to that being a result of this being her return and nothing else. Besides if anything Sakura actually found the blonde woman entering the ring rathwr attractive, at least in her opinio.
As said woman turned her attention to her Sakura chuckled slgihtly. Trash talk was something she was a bit used too after her time in beserk, and the smirk on Lauren’s face didn’t convey any kind of malice that Sakura could pick up. So as far as she was concerned Lauren seemed like the perfect opponet for her return.
Smiling sweetly at the woman Sakura steetched her arms above her head, unintentionally showing off her younger snd more fit body. ”Haha I’m sure I will! But I look forward to the challenge!” She said eagerly as she dropped her arms and began bouncing from foot to foot in anticipation for the bell, unintentionally causing her assets to bounce pleasingly, causing the fans to cheer loudly once again for Sakura without her intending too.
Lauren shook her head and stepped into the middle of the ring, shaking her legs out as they shook earning a far different reaction from the fans. "Okay then, but don't cry when this challenge pins you for three!" Lauren shouted.
The bell rang and Lauren moved in trying to grapple with Sakura! The big woman wanted to smash Sakura with a couple hard knee strikes to the abdomen before pushing her hard back against the turnbuckle!
Sakura smirked confidently at Lauren as the woman acted confident and boasted towards the returning beauty. But despite the size difference and surface level confidence from the blonde Sakura didn’t appear fazed whatsoever. In fact, she looked even more pumped up than before to get going against the older woman!
With the bell ringing officially starting the bout Sakura wasted no time dashing towards Lauren and vice versa. The moment they met in the center of the ring their hands clasped together and the entered a test of strength. Grunting and groaning Sakura pushed back against Lauren, determined to show her mettle agains the heavyweight!
However the woman didn’t seem interested in a straight forward contest of strength between the two as before long Sakura felt a knee bury itself in her! ”Ack!” She gasped in shock as pain resonated throughout her. What was worse however was that it was followed by more knee strikes burying into her, which combined with Lauren’s strength had Sakira gradually being pushed back into the corner!
‘Not good! Need to get out of this Sakura thought as she grit her teeth through the pain feeling the turnbuckle against her. Using the grip still held between the two Sakura pushed forward before releasing Lauren’s hands, trying to hit herself a few inches of space. If successful she would dart forward ducking low and attempting to spin behind Lauren in order to lock her arms around the women’s waist. “Lets see who’ll cry after this!” Sakura would yell if successful as she would then attempt to throw herself backwards in an attempt to land a german suplex on Lauren!
Lauren shoved Sakura back but felt the smaller woman slip behind her! Lauren had been in enough matches to know what was coming and she stepped one leg back, hooking it around Sakura's to prevent her from lifting Lauren all while Lauren reached down to grab Sakura's hands to pull them apart! "Nice try little girl but this big woman ain't gonna be going anywhere!" Lauren said as she spun around to instead elbow Sakura in the side of the head to keep her solid start to the match going!
Sakura was successful at least in slipping behind Lauren and wrapping her arms around the woman’s waist. An excellent start after nearly losing the test of strength from the start of the match. However the part time idol found a hitch in her plan when she tried to lift Lauren backwards into a suplex. Namely that she was unable too due to a leg snaling behind her own preventing her from doing so. ”Wha?” She asked in shock as her grip around the woman’s waist was broken followed by a elbow shot to the head! “Aghhh!” she cried out in pain stumbling back from the impact and falling onto her knee, momentarily stunned!
Lauren saw Sakura stumble and the larger lady rumbled forward! Lauren moved right at Sakura lowering her shoulder and looking to crash into Sakura burying her shoulder in the chest of the smaller woman to literally bulldoze her down to the mat with brute force! Lauren was not the most complicated wrestler, she was sticking to simple but effective offense as was her hallmark. Nothing fancy, just strong hard hitting moves that were simple.
"Ugh.." Sakura groaned softly still dazed from that elbow strike to the head from her opponent and as a result, rather unprepared for what was about to happen. Looking up at the sound of rumbling approaching the former idol looked up just in time to see Lauren come crashing into her! "AGH!" She cried out in pain getting completely bowled over by the sheer force of the blonde's momentum and weight. Landing flat on her back Sakura's legs hung in the air for a moment before falling back to the mat leaving her floored for the time being as she groaned softly in pain while her chest ached with a dull throbbing sensation.
"Wooooo!" Lauren shouted out as she smashed into Sakura sending her hard to the mat. Lauren bent down, pulling Sakura up by the hair and stepping up looking to smash her in the chest with forearm strike after forearm strike trying to press her against the ropes so she could keep hammering away at her all while the ropes would keep Sakura up on her feet! After four or five hard forearms to the chest Lauren would pull Sakura close to her by one arm only to extend her other to plant Sakura back on the mat with a clothesline!
