Tina vs. Aiko

[Highfly]

Match Type: Standard
Victory Conditions: Pinfall, Submission, DQ, Countout

Tina was alone in the locker room without Alaina around. She looked in the mirror, clad in her wrestling gear. Her last time out was a downright humiliating tag match. Tina and the team did horribly. For all the experience, talent, and chemistry between the two The Thundergirls were a total disappointment in LAW. The last outing was so bad that they put the team's tag matches "on indefinite hiatus."

To Tina it just meant they would never be booked again, against their will. Tonight she was on a mission to restore her standing in the ring. She knew Alaina would do the same. Hopefully they would have another chance to be a team again.

As her music played Tina bound out to the arena at full speed, forcing a smile as she sprinted down the ramp, high fiving fans to the best of her ability. Tina didn't feel like her usual self, and despite her best efforts to hide it the crowd picked up on it too.

Aiko waited quietly and patiently behind the curtain leading to the arena. Her eyes were closed, and her head bowed, as she tried to remain focused on the match ahead. This was it. This was her big debut in LAW. It felt like it had been a long time coming, but at long last, it was time.

When Tina hit the ring, Aiko's music came on, and the pink-haired grappler lifted her head, opening her eyes. A smile crept across her face, and she stepped through the curtains, heading out to meet the audience. She stepped onto the entrance ramp and raised her head high, raising her arms to the crowd, the audience cheering loudly for the newcomer. Aiko's smile widened, and she waved to the crowd for a few seconds, before turning her attention to the ring, beginning her march down the ramp.

Her eyes fell onto Tina as she began to make her way down to the ring. The blonde looked fierce. Wild, even. Aiko had heard of Tina before and had watched a couple of her matches, but seeing the woman in the flesh was a lot different than seeing her on screen. Her heart began to pound in her chest, but she took a quick, deep breath to calm herself, trying to ease her nerves and chase off her butterflies as she approached the ring.

Once she hit the ring, she slid under the ropes and climbed to her feet. She offered Tina a slow nod and a smile, and then headed to her corner. Her music faded out, and she began to do a few light, easy stretches, remaining limber and warmed up as she waited for the bell to ring.

Tina watched as Aiko came out, decked out in pink. Tina was focused on her foe, looking her over from her entrance all the way down the ramp. As Aiko got in the ring and nodded to Tina, she smiled and returned the nod before her stoic look came right back immediately.

As they stretched Tina went over what to do, or try to do. Be intense. Don't let Aiko think, just rush and constantly attack. The bell rang and Tina moved in, running straight at Aiko! She jumped forward, leading with her knee to try to start the match off with a running knee strike to Aiko's torso! Tina wanted to hit her and stun her early to set the tempo for the match. Aiko couldn't be allowed to dictate the pace of the match.

Aiko stepped forward when the bell rang, and lifted her arms towards Tina. She was expecting a lock up, a friendly test of strength to get things started. What she was not expecting was for the blonde to come leaping towards her with the knee to her chest!

The blow struck home, the knee smashing into Aiko's chest, and the younger woman cried out, clutching her upper body with both hands. She stumbled back, and then doubled over, briefly stunned form the quick, hard-hitting surprise attack.

Tina's strike hit home and she briefly held a fist into the air as she moved close to wrap an arm around Aiko's head. Her previously raised arm made its way to her waist, grabbing onto her wrestling attire. Tina bent her knees, then sprang up and lift, trying to bring Aiko soaring up into the air for a brief moment before completing the vertical duplex by bringing her crashing back to the mat!

Tina was out to establish herself early, and she was not going to give that up for anything.... at least, not if she could help it! Her stubborn pride had taken a few hits lately, and commentators raving about her hot start had quickly turned on her. The tigress was out to show them all that she was to a fluke.

[Lunaspark]

Aiko squealed softly, as she felt Tina's arm sliding around her head, the woman grabbing for her one-pieced outfit. She squirmed against the blonde, but soon enough, she felt herself being hauled through the air, held aloft for a few seconds before crashing back down into the suplex.

Boom.

Aiko's slender body hit the canvas, and the pink-haired rookie shuddered. Her body jerked up, and then fell back to the back, the newcomer lying there with a groan as Tina stood dominantly over her, the ball fully in the Tigress' court.

Tina brought Aiko crashing down and rolled over towards Aiko's legs. Tina had a chance to try to take away an area of the game that Aiko, being smaller and thinner, possiby had over the lean and agile Tina: Speed. Tina was not going to just let Aiko run all over and with that in mind she grabbed on to Aiko's legs and began to intertwine hers, leaning back and wrenching down to put Aiko in a figure four leg lock! Tina spread her arms out wide to stabilize herself and she leaned back to apply as much pressure as possible!

"All right there Aiko this hold isn't any fun so if ya want to tap out feel free! No one would blame ya!" Tina shouted trying to discourage Aiko, and gain a mental edge as she did her best to elicit a fair submission from the woman early on!

[Lunaspark]

Already, Aiko was starting to feel overwhelmed. Tina obviously had the experience advantage, but Aiko hadn't thought that the match would go this rough, and that the blonde would be able to womanhandle her this easily. The pain running through her legs was unbearable, but the pink-haired rookie wasn't going to just lie there and give in yet, despite what Tina wanted of her.

Aiko held out, trying to ignore the pain from the hold as best as she could while she gathered her strength up. Then, after several seconds, she would act, trying to throw her body and her weight to the side, attempting to roll the two women over onto their bellies so that she could reverse the figure-four back onto Tina!

[Highfly]

"Give in girl! Ya can't take.....whoa... no no!" Tina howled as Aiko threw everything she had into the reversal, countering and putting Tina in an agonizing hold! The tigress cried out in pain and shook her head, thrashing about.

However, if Aiko could roll them over Tina was sure She could do it too! Tina tried giving it all she had, rolling the two over yet again in an effort to go right back where she started so to speak! However if they were close to the ropes Aiko would be able to get a fair rope break.

[Lunaspark]

Aiko might have been a rookie, but she was all-too well of her ring positioning, the pink-haired younger woman knowing exactly where they were at. Even though Tina managed to reverse things on her again and lock the figure-four back in on her, Aiko realized how close she was to the ropes and knew she had to take advantage of that.

Her arm lashed out, and with a bit of stretching, she grabbed onto the bottom-most rope, trying how to cry out in too much pain until she had gotten Tina to release the hold.
