Dana vs Joanna, Dana's First Solo Match!

[KaylieKO]

The crowd waiting for the next match was full of people. Everyone that would be watching the ring, and staring at the two wrestlers, and judging them, and think about how the loser is the worst and should never show her face again. And Dana couldn't do this. It was way too much. Her stage fright and her nervousness and her anxiety were triple teaming her, and making her want to hide forever instead of going out and fighting. But at the same time she wanted this to. When Kaylie got into pro-wrestling, so did Dana. As her assistant and manager, Dana wanted to help Kaylie everywhere she could, and that meant learning how to wrestle too! And when Dana actually wrestled, she actually found it made her feel good. But all those times before she was wrestling with Kaylie, and this time she would be just by herself.

"Dana Dana Daaaaaaaaaana," Kaylie said, rubbing Dana's shoulders, "Relaaaaaaaaaaaaaax, you're going to do amazing out there. You got like, the two most important qualities in a wrestler. You've got an amazing smile, and you're sexy."

Kaylie's words didn't really do anything to comfort Dana. But it was nice knowing that Kaylie was here to support her. That's when Dana realized she couldn't put this off anymore, and headed towards the entrance ramp. Her turn to walk out came up, and she made her way to the ring. As she did she tried to not look at anyone, even though she was completely aware that everyone was looking at her. When she was in the ring, she could act like none of them existed, and that the only other person in the whole world was her opponent.

Meanwhile, in another area backstage, another wrestler was about to make her singles debut. Well, her LAW debut in general. Joanna smirked as she thought of the poor, hapless fool that was to be her first opponent. The poor girl wouldn't know what hit her. Though, in fairness- and as a member of royalty, Joanna was always fair- the world wouldn't know what hit it.

"Time for the von Habsburgs star to rise... time for MY star to rise," Joanna thought as she finally heard the haunting start of "Nightmare Baroque". With that, Joanna burst on stage, a wicked smirk on her face.

"And her opponent, making her LAW debut... from Vienna, Austria... this is Joanna von Habsburg!" Misa shouted, gesterting over to the heavyweight on the ramp for the crowd.

Appearance

Joanna gave a small scowl at the announcer as she made her way to the ring. The stupid peasant forgot to mention Joanna's litany of royal and noble titles. If the Habsburg were... well, not a Habsburg, she would sigh in expiration. Joanna however, pressed on attempting to hide her irritation. Conducting herself with restrained grace, Joanna walked to the ring without much overt showmanship and entered it.

The brunette Austrian gave Misa a small glare, smiling as the announcer wilted from it, giving a small yelp. Joanna then turned her brown eyes towards her foe and sneered. This green haired lout screamed "hipster millennial". She'll be easily disposed off.

The Austrian's lip then curled into a condescending smile as she approached her smaller opponent. "You should feel honored to be in the presence of royalty. It's a treat for niedere Mädchen like yourself, ja?" Joanna cruelly mocked in her Austrian accent. "So in the interest of time, why don't you just lie down for me," she continued, crossing her arms.

[KaylieKO]

Sometimes Dana needed to just breathe and tell herself that she was being too anxious. That whatever problem she was dealing with wasn't really as bad as she was making it out to be. But right now she was on stage in front of a ton of people about to fight actual royalty. This could very reasonably be defined as a worst case scenario. Maybe not the worst, but it was definitely up there.

"Uhm, uh... I... y-your highness," Dana said, not sure whether or not to curtsy or bow, and ended up deciding to not do either, "I'm, I'm going to give this fight my best. My, my friend believes in me."

Dana was here in the first place because Kaylie got her into wrestling in the first place. And Kaylie has been her best and most supportive friend ever since she met her. She couldn't back down now. She tried to look Joanna in the eyes to show how confident she was, but looking people in the eyes is awkward. So Dana looked away while she waited for the bell to ring.

Joanna icily chuckled at Dana stuttering defiance. The powers that be, in their infinite wisdom, dare to book Joanna von Habsburg against this mousey woman. Well, at least it’d be mercifully short for Dana. A bit of a shame, unlike most people in this uncouth generation, Dana at least knew how to treat royalty with the difference it deserves.

“Touching… but it sounds like you don’t believe in yourself,” Joanna said, a sadistic smirk on her face. Her star was in ascent and poor Dana was going to feel how hot that star burned.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

And so it began. Joana wasted no time, as she attempted to lurch forward and grab Dana. If the von Habsburg succeeded (Ha! ‘if’), then she would try to place her right arm between the millennial’s legs and her left arm around Dana’s back as she’d then lift Dana up and then slam her on her back in a body slam!

[KaylieKO]

Dana didn't have a response. How could she respond when Joanna was right? The bell rang, and Dana instantly tried to go on the defensive. But before she could do anything Joanna already had her hands on her. Dana let out a gentle Eep! as she was picked up. Oh no, she already knew where this was going. In the brief seconds that Dana was being thrown, all she could do was brace for impact. She tried to curl up so she could roll as she hit the mat. But despite all that the body slam still really painful. She started to get back up, but after a hit like that her legs were a bit shaky. She wasn't the fastest, and was making herself anxious thinking about how she was vulnerable for another attack.

[overlordofkings]

Joanna raised an eyebrow at how Dana tried to brace for the body slam. It... wasn't entirely terrible. Pretty impressive for a beginner actually. If Joanna was any other woman, she'd might've even complimented Dana.

But Joanna von Habsburg wasn't any other woman, not even close. Instead the von Habsburg smirked and taunted, "Shaking in your boots already? My dear, we've just begun!"

And with that, Joanna would attempt to jam the toe of her boot into Dana's stomach. If it connected and Dana bent from the blow, Joanna would then place her forearms in the crooks of Dana's elbows and grasp her hands in a butcher's grip. With Dana at her right side, Joanna would then finally attempt to lift Dana and throw the millennial back, falling back herself as she'd hope to complete the butterfly suplex!

[KaylieKO]

Joanna's boot hit Dana in the stomach hard. She couldn't help but double over from the hit. What's worse is that she knew she was unwillingly playing along with Joanna's plan. Her eyes would go wide as she was flipped over in Joanna's strong suplex, landing hard against the mat. Dana tried to ease some of the pain by rubbing her back as she sat up. She'd be quicker to get up this time, not wanting to lose so easily. She went over to Joanna, and tried to wrap her arms around her in a waist lock. If it worked, she'd show Joanna her own suplex!

[overlordofkings]

Joanna picked herself up, and began to turn towards Dana. The empress expected to at least a few seconds to admire her handy work. Yet and once more to Joanna’s surprise, Dana only stayed down for a few mere seconds as she picked herself up and rushed at Joanna, quickly grabbing the von Habsburg in a waist lock from behind.

“What do you think you’re doing?!” Joanna indigently demanded. Of course, Joanna knew what Dana was trying to do and that was to German suplex the Austrian! Unfortunately for Dana though, Joanna dug her feet down and dead weighted the poor girl.

As Joanna battled to stay on her feet, she gave a most unroyal like snarl as she attempted to free herself by throwing her right elbow in Dana’s face!

[KaylieKO]

When she attempted to suplex Joanna, she knew that it'd be a risky move. Joanna looked capable. A simple suplex wouldn't work on her. Dana thought though that maybe if she caught Joanna off guard she'd be able to go through with the move. Something she was mentally scolding herself for now. Dana just kept repeating to herself that she shouldn't take risks like that as she tried to suplex Joanna. She lifted her slightly once, but Joanna forced herself back down. Joanna slammed an elbow back into Dana's face that stunned the poor girl. She didn't let go though, and tried a second time. This time she got a little bit further. Almost far enough to throw Joanna back! But she couldn't get any further, and Joanna forced herself back down again. This time when Joanna threw an elbow back into Dana's face, Dana let go of her and stumbled back a few feet back

[overlordofkings]

The Habsburg grinned when she felt her commoner foe let go. After all, there’s no way someone with such plain blood be able to hold a royal like her for long. Even if said peasant managed to surprise her. Well, all was irrelevant now, Dana wouldn’t be that lucky again.

And now, it was time for the turquoise haired woman to pay for her insolence.

The self-proclaimed empress turned around, and ran towards Dana, extending her right arm as she charged, attempting to hit the stunned woman with a powerful clothesline!
