Thea Asters vs Renee Winters

[Misfit_Alien]

Renee WRENCHED Thea's arm as far as she could, twisting and applying as much torque as possible to better wear down the blonde. The Frenchwoman was aware that just the one submission move wouldn't be enough to make her tap out. Thea was arrogant, sure, but she was tough in her own right...After all, like Renee, she made it to the finals too. Though the Bridging Hammerlock may not be the ending chapter to this story, it would certainly hurt...plus, if Thea was down an arm, that'd make this uphill battle far more manageable. With that in mind, Renee would break the bridge on her move and quickly reposition herself atop Thea's back, wrist still in her grasp as she performed an Inverted Arm Bar, now sitting in a much more comfortable position across Thea's spine, directly applying pressure to her upper back and shoulder.

Not good, not good at all, Thea was in a world of pain at the hands of Renee. Despite the impeccable position she was in just moments ago it had all been turned around, as was her arm now being turned in the opposite direction it should! Worse yet there was nothing that Thea could do to truly counter it, let alone stop it period! It was all but disastrous for her and it was only about to get worse for her as Renee dropped her bridge, providing only a momentary relief before Renee repositioned herself and began wrenching once again!

"Aghhh!" Thea crid out in pain, grabbing her own hair to deal with it... Only to get an idea as a result. Renee's new position may have granted her a better point to wrench from, but in turn it also positioned her head, and by extension her hair much closer to Thea, particularly, the blonde's free hand as she reached up behind her, trying to grab a hand full of the wintery idol's hair to yank it back, and force Renee's head backwards to try and make her scream in pain and release the hold!

Renee had Thea RIGHT where she wanted her, working her over with a serious amount of pain and damage to that arm. The Winter Fantasy could feel her opponent's resistance crumble and falter beneath her as she continued to wrench and torque her arm, threatening to take it out of its socket with every bit of added pressure and intensity. The French idol would be met with a nasty surprise as a revelation for Thea would turn into a nightmare for Renee. All of a sudden, the winter-themed idol felt a HUGE amount of tension from her hair!!! Thea pulled that hair tightly, dragging her wintery opponent by her long, luscious, stylish dark locks. Renee groaned and screamed, feeling her head and neck being dragged down to the side. This hair-tugging would earn Thea the referee's ire, warning her to let go immediately, but not before the pain caused Renee's grip to loosen on Thea's arm, providing the blonde with a little bit of leverage and a chance to escape!!!

Thea was in a downright awful position right now. Pinned to the mat underneath the Wintery Idol and having her arm wrenched back painfully by Renee there was very little that the blonde could do right now. At least not legally. Hence Thea disregarding the rules and grabbing a tight handful of her opponent's raven hair, yanking back inflict some pain on her opponent and force her to loosen her hold a bit.

Luckily her tactic did just the trick, creating some slack for herself and making her sigh in relief, even as the ref came down to admonish her for the tactic. Not that Thea gave a damn as she gave an extra hard tug on Renee's hair for good measure before letting go, pulling her arm back and using her new found room to move to turn and swing her free arm back in to elbow Renee in the side of the head!

If all went well then Thea would pull her arm free of Renee's grip and scramble out from under the face. Rolling from the position she'd been in and under the ropes all together so that she was outside the ring, clutching her arm with a hiss of pain, fully intent on using the ten count to try and recover and keep some distance from Renee, maybe even set a trap if things fell into place correctly.

The Winter Fantasy had this match WON...Her opponent had no way of escaping. She was going to WIN and become LAW's first Queen of the Ring...but of course, it couldn't have POSSIBLY been that easy. Thea Asters was dead set on claiming this match for herself, and what Renee hadn't fully recognized yet was just how far the woman would go to win...the blonde DESIRED victory, no matter what. She wasn't an honor-bound, respectful competitor...She was a cutthroat athlete who would do whatever it took to achieve glory. This is what separated Renee from Thea...being able to discard your pride and honor, bend the rules to your whim, and win by ANY means necessary. A swift tug on her hair would throw Renee off, lining her up for a painful elbow to the side of her face, causing her to grunt and stumble, rolling off of Thea as she groans. The winter-themed idol recoiled in pain, rubbing at and clutching her face, feeling the stinging pain as she agonized on the canvas. She tried to pick herself back up and chase after Thea, but the woman already escaped to the outside. Still, Renee couldn't let her off the hook that easily. The idol was nothing if not PERSISTENT. She decided to take a risk, attempting to hit the ropes behind her and ricochet off of them for a Running Tope Splash!!!

Renee's submission hold wsa dangerous as could be, wrenching and torquing her arm back in a way that even if Renee didn't get the submission then Thea's arm would almost surely become a liability. Something that Thea was trying to fix now after escaping the hold and rolling to the outside so she'd have the time and space too. Rolling and moving her arm about while gently massaging it, attempting to dull the pain and get the blood back flowing again. Unfortunately while she was on the outside she had neglected the possibility of Renee following her, or more specifically following her through the ropes at high speed! Looking up just in time to see Renee come down on her from above and bring her crashing down to the floor! "Agh!" Thea yelled in pain as she crumpled under Renee's weight and fell onto the floor, trying to roll away from the Wintery idol before she could do further damage to her.

Renee CRASHED into Thea with blinding force, barreling into her after majestically leaping over the top rope!!! The pair fall to the ground outside, tumbling about the ringside area. The crowd cheers Renee's efforts as the wintery idol rolls about the ground, having taken the lesser half of the impact thanks to using Thea's surprisingly soft body as a landing pad. She rolls over to the barricade, coughing and grunting, trying to use the crowd's energy to rally and stand. She huffs, feeling a bit of exhaustion for a second before the adrenaline rush kicks in, and her eyes SPARKLE with energy. She points a finger to the sky, confidently posing as she manages to stand tall. "Prepare to face...the bone-chilling cold...of WINTER!!!" She proclaimed. The Winter Fantasy was preparing to deliver a swift Running Knee to Thea's jaw if the blonde hadn't moved out of harm's way...-or if she hadn't scouted Renee's move in advance-...The winter-themed idol lined herself up as she waited for Thea to rise...ready to slam her knee into her opponent's face.

Thea groaned in pain still after being taken down by her foe's diving attack. Rolling away she flung her arm out and surprisingly felt something with her fingers. Looking up she saw one of the crew worked that worked ringside, sitting on a chair. Or was sitting before he got up and backed off as per instructions.. Allowing Thea to use the chair to pick herself up a bit, grabbing the back and bottom in the process... a plan forming in her mind as she looked over her shoulder and saw Renee posing, not paying full attention to her.

Perfect. Waiting and playing dead as Renee broke out into a run Thea would wait... and wait... until she took to the air at which time Thea would pull the chair up, closing it and turning sharply while throwing the steel chair forward, using it as a makeshift shield or even a battering ram to bash into Renee's knee mid attack to make it backfire on her in the worst way possible!

Renee could see that Thea was on the back foot. The woman was hurting and clearly out of it. This is EXACTLY the opportunity Renee needed in order to seize victory over the blonde. She steeled her nerves and prepared to finish this fight once and for all. Gaining a sudden burst of speed by pushing off her foot, the Winter Fantasy winds up CHARGING head-on toward Thea, looking to disorient her with a bone-chilling Running Knee Strike. As the dark-skinned Frenchwoman neared her opponent, she leaped upward and stuck her leg out knee-first, lining it up with where she thought Thea's head would be so that her knee struck her across the chin. However...much to Renee's horror, her knee caught something else instead...something FAR worse. A loud, metallic -CLANG- could be heard as the Winter Fantasy flew knee-first into the steel chair that was tossed by Thea, her eyes shooting open as the pain caught up with her. While still in the air, she let out a cry of pain as she haphazardly tilted her body, which unfortunately resulted in her crashing down onto that very same knee. Renee erupted with another bloodcurdling scream as she made harsh contact with the rough terrain of the floor outside the ring, unable to stand as she clutched her knee tightly, a searing pain coursing throughout every muscle fiber, tender, and bone in her upper calf area and knee. The pain was so agonizing that it inevitably drew tears from the icy idol's eyes.

Renee was well on her way to potentially winning this match, having taken Thea down and outside the ring, poised to do what she could to further the gap more and more and quite possibly win! Not if Thea had anything to say about it though. Tossing a steel chair into the way of her opponent's attack, causing a significant amount of pain all at once in a truly vile act of self preservation! Standing up after and outright smiling in satisfaction at what she had done Thea would approach the near crying wintery idol and bend down, grabbing hold of the woman's shoulder and forcing her up to her feet with Thea. "Oh you were so close.. and you were so confident... where's all of that now?" Thea asked mockingly before moving to toss her back into the ring before following after, not wanting to risk a double count out. Rather than go for a cover on the hurting idol however Thea would instead opt to climb the corner, watching Renee like a hawk.. and once she felt she was in position... the blonde would take to the sky, diving through the air and coming down with her feet jutted out, intending to land a brutal double stomp onto Renee's hurt knee!
