Asuka Hisashi vs. Toni Ashford

[DizzyKnight]

Standard match. Victory can be achieved by pinning an opponent's shoulders for three seconds, causing them to submit, pass out, or by disqualification.

Taking on a middleweight for her second returning match raised Asuka's suspicions. This one wasn't nearly as big as her previous one, easily thirty pounds down and clearly inferior physically, but that wasn't particularly relieving as she still had quite a size advantage over Asuka. It didn't mean the match would necessarily be hard, but just that Asuka would have to work harder, which she didn't have much of a problem with. Besides, looking up the young heiress' previous matches online revealed that Toni was astoundingly attractive and wore one hell of a revealing outfit, which Asuka was happy to discover.

As her cue was given, she left the girls' locker room to make her way along to the ramp. She had chosen to oppose Toni's choice of a leotard by wearing her old two-piece outfit, consisting of sports bra and short tennis skirt. Still, Asuka wasn't about to say anything that might make the American aerialist reconsider her attire. Her entrance music blared out over the arena speakers a moment after she was ready to make her appearance, and she stepped out into the light for her second 2019 showing at LAW.

With one competitor being Asuka, and being about to take on another absurdly attractive young girl, the arena was filled to bursting, not a single empty seat in sight. She threw her arms up and jogged down to the ring delivering high-fives to as many outstretched arms as she could, blowing kisses at the ones that were unlucky enough to find seats on the other side.

Sliding into the ring, Asuka let herself lay flat on her back for a moment at the center of the ring, until the referee drifted over to grab both of her hands and pull her up to a stand. The referee for this match happened to be the same as Asuka's previous match, being a small lightweight girl no bigger than Asuka herself, and noticeably smaller than Toni.

Now everyone waited for the Joshi's opponent to make her own entrace, as the lights focused back on the top of the ramp, and the cheering died down to almost silence.

[Arjuna]

Tonight, Toni would be facing someone who was below her weight class, a lightweight. She scoffed, thinking that the management was looking down on her for pitting her against midgets. Though to be fair, she wasn't exactly big in size, and she intended to keep it that way for a while. She was sure that she might end up growing bigger just like her mother, though she wanted to maintain her size for the time being.

Clad in her cleavage-baring leotard, Toni waited for her cue to make her entrance. And soon, her music was played, and she stepped out to the ramp, receiving a mixed reaction from the crowd. The youngest Ashford just walked down the ramp with swagger, hoping to look confident as she headed over to the ring, where her opponent was waiting for her.

Soon, she arrived at the ring, and she climbed up the apron, rolling under the ropes to enter the ring. Getting back up, she rolled her shoulders, doing a little stretches. After that, she would look at her opponent for tonight, a lightweight named Asuka Hisashi. Hoping to intimidate her before the match started, Toni decided to taunt her a bit. "So, you ready to get your ass kicked, shrimp?" She asked, trying to look menacing in front of the blonde lightweight.

[DizzyKnight]

Seeing Toni appear in person at the top of the ramp was enough to make Asuka bite her bottom lip. She looked stunning, though with her small figure Asuka was surprised she was considered a middleweight. The audience weren't quite as enthusiastic about her, though, with almost as much booing as cheering.

Once Toni finished her entrance, and began to taunt, Asuka smirked and moved up literally toe-to-toe with the older teen, revealing the physical difference between them. Surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as some were expecting. There was only a couple inches between them, letting the two young high-flyers look eachother almost straight in the eye, though it was clear Toni was the physically superior of the two, with all parts of her body being thicker, tougher and more defined than her lightweight counterpart.

"Wouldn't want to damage yours. How else would you get fans?" she'd tease back with a wink, reaching out to try and run a hand over Toni's hip before the referee slid awkwardly between them to push Asuka and Toni apart. Asuka obliged, and moved away a few feet to put herself about halfway between the center of the ring and her corner, watching the American girl with her hands on her hips.

After a few moments, the bell would ring, and Asuka would cautiously maneuver herself around in a wide semi-circle, trying to get herself in front of Toni to keep her trapped in a small section of the ring and not give her any extra room to maneuver. If this worked, she'd eventually move in to try a fast, snappy high-kick meant to crack Toni in the jaw. Else, she'd back off in an attempt to avoid grappling with the heavier woman, knowing she'd be at a disadvantage.

[Arjuna]

Toni scoffed upon hearing Asuka's response to her words. Then Asuka went to run a hand over her hip, and Toni almost retaliated, with only the referee's intervention stopping her from doing so. Then, both Toni and Asuka distanced themselves from each other, and Toni took this opportunity to calm herself down, preparing herself to fight this lightweight and show everyone what she was made of.

And then, the bell was sounded, signifying the start of the match. Toni could see Asuka trying to corner her while gauging her, and she would make sure to avoid being put into the obvious trap by moving herself in accordance to her Japanese opponent's movement. So far, Asuka didn't make any attempt to close in and engage her in a grapple, so Toni decided that it would be her to start their clash in this match.

Closing in, Toni would try to lock up with Asuka, hoping to make use of her much superior size and weight against her much smaller opponent, even though the difference wasn't much. She would try to push Asuka back, hoping to bring her closer and closer to the turnbuckle in order to trap her there in preparation for her next move.

[DizzyKnight]

With their fighting styles so closely matched, Toni was able to read Asuka quite well, mirroring her movements and making it impossible for Asuka to box her into any one position. The Japanese girl smirked as they both effectively did the same thing, and changed up her strategy a little. Rather than circling around Toni, she'd move in towards her, hoping Toni would keep the distance and corner herself.

Instead, the American stepped forwards too, though slightly after Asuka, and gave a fast shove! Not quite expecting it, Asuka was made to stumble a few steps, but quickly regained her balance a short distance from the corner. On the plus side, at least Toni wasn't very strong, but on the down side Asuka was now trapped in the same way she'd wanted to trap her opponent. If she tried to move out from the corner, Toni would be able to block her off, and if she didn't, Toni could just keep moving to box her in even more tightly.

"Damnit." Asuka commented quietly, her cheeks turning a little red with embarassment, and her formerly smug look turning to more of a focused one.

Asuka quickly went on the offense, hoping to make her move before Toni could. She ducked forwards and closed the gap between them, before snapping upright and swinging her right forearm in fast, aiming at Toni's chest! On it's own, the move wasn't much, but she planned to follow it by grabbing Toni's right arm and yanking it forwards, hoping the combination of being pushed backwards and then pulled forwards would be enough to get the small middleweight onto the canvas, where she'd hopefully be able to stretch the trapped arm into an armbar!

[Arjuna]

Pushing Asuka back, Toni aimed to gain an upper hand over the blonde Japanese, thinking about trapping her at the corner. But before she could do that, she took a forearm smash to her chest. "Aughhh!!!" Toni winced from the attack, leaving her open to a follow-up attack. Asuka took this opportunity to grab onto her right arm, and with Toni struggling to keep her balance, she was then brought down onto the mat, allowing her opponent to subject her to an armbar!

"Uahhh!!" Toni cried out in pain as Asuka started applying pressure in the armbar. Gritting her teeth, Toni would try to ease the pain from the armbar by attempting to push her body off of the mat with her free hand. She would then try to roll herself over, hoping to pull Asuka with her before attempting to get her knees on the mat so that she could try pushing herself back up. She hoped that this would force Asuka to release her from the painful armbar.

[DizzyKnight]

Her attack had worked surprisingly well, and now both young girls were grappling on the canvas. Toni was taken by surprise, and didn't get chance on the way down to stop Asuka from immediately transitioning the takedown into an armbar as the audience got quite loud. She leaned back into the hold as far as she could, pushing her hips upwards and shoulders down to torture Toni for all she could.

However, the American knew what she was doing, and quickly set to work breaking the hold almost the second her back touched the canvas. She turned herself over onto her side, and attempted to pull Asuka with her, but the task required more strength than she had. Instead, she shifted herself to the side, which was close enough in result.

"Mmf! No you- Nngh- Don't! Come back here!" she taunted as they fought for dominance.

In response to the shift in position, once Toni was on her knees Asuka pulled in harder, dragging her in again to tighten the armbar and shock her with another jolt of pain. The hold was effectively impossible to maintain though, as Toni began to stand upright Asuka had to stretch further, and soon enough was doing nothing. With Toni now leaning over her, and Asuka still laid on her back, the Japanese girl was in a pretty bad spot, bringing her arms in close and trying to predict Toni's next attack, as there was no time to get away without her opponent making a move!

[Arjuna]

The moment Toni got her knees on the mat so that she could try pushing herself back up, Asuka applied more pressure into the armbar, causing her to cry out in pain some more. But with Asuka being on her back, Toni saw an opportunity to gain an advantage over the Japanese girl, or at the very least, get her to release the hold. While her face was scrunching up in pain, Toni would try to position herself on top of Asuka while Asuka was still on her back, and from there, Asuka's shoulders would be pressed against the canvas, with Toni on top of her, which the referee would count as a pinfall attempt.

The referee immediately rushed over next to them and started counting for the pin. Toni knew that the chance for her to win this with this pinfall attempt was low, but at the very least, it should be able to force Asuka to let her go from the armbar.

"ONE!"

[DizzyKnight]

Her attempt to keep Toni in the hold had worked out well enough, her fellow high-flyer was forced back into the hold even if she was now on her knees. The girl didn't have the strength to just power out as some others might, so opted for a smarter approach, leaning into the hold rather than away from it. Asuka felt this happen, and was a little confused for a moment, but as soon as the referee made the first count, she realised what Toni was going for.

"You like being on top of smaller women?" she taunted, trying to squirm around and find a way to get her shoulder up without releasing her opponent, but failed, and the referee brought her hand down for 'Two!'

Before the referee could make the three count, the Japanese wrestler let up on the hold, releasing Toni's arm and shuffling back a little to take the pressure off her shoulders. If the attractive American didn't make a move first, Asuka would bring her knees up and try to plant her feet against the woman's barely-covered chest and give a hard push to shove her away, though Toni had the momentum in her favour now.

[Arjuna]

Attempting to get Asuka to release her from the armbar with her improvised pinfall attempt, Toni could hear the sound of the referee counting for the pin. Still, the taunt from the smaller girl caused her to bristle, and her cheeks to redden. "J-just shut up, y-you shortie!" Toni hissed through her teeth, briefly panicking when she thought that Asuka might not release her arm, because she was starting to feel like her arm might pop out of its socket. Luckily, after two, Asuka released her from the armbar, and the pressure stopped.

Still, while she was still reeling from the pain around her arm, Toni was caught off-guard by Asuka who planted her feet against her chest, causing her to gasp before she was pushed away from the Japanese girl. "Guhh!!!" She ended up on her side, wheezing a little as she struggled to regain her bearing. Still, she wouldn't allow that to stop her as she would try to push herself back up onto her knees first before going onto her feet.
