Josh Journey vs. Maria Castillo - Electrifying Matchup

[PrinceArjuna332]

Bringing Maria down onto the mat with a German suplex and releasing her upon impact, Josh would then get up and look at his opponent, who crawled towards him and tried to pull herself up by grabbing his legs. Josh watched at her for a while before he grinned, bending down to pull her up, bringing her to her full height.

"Come on, babe. There's something else I wanna try on ya." Josh said as he would drag Maria towards the nearest corner, planning to prop her up against the turnbuckle, draping her arms over the ropes. Standing right in front of her, Josh would then rear his right arm back before he fired a knife edge chop right across her chest. Then, he would fire the second chop, this time using his left hand.

Maria felt Josh's hand on her jaw, guiding the dazed Luchadora up onto her rubbery legs after a few moments of watching her struggle, just to poor those sweet words into her ear. She blinked those once fearsome grey eyes, struggling to understand for a moment, "B..Babe? W...what are we....do...ooooooh~" she mumbled, practically leaning on him as she was set up in the corner, arms draped gracefully over the top ropes to hold her in place.

The first chop stung her something awful, crying out as her back arched...only for the second chop to light her up once more! The slaps and cries echoed in the arena, as she looked up weakly at her opponent, a far cry from the once fearsome wrestler she once was.

Josh hit Maria twice with knife edge chops right across her chest. Flashing a grin at the luchadora, Josh would then move towards the opposite corner, putting a distance between himself and his opponent. While Maria was still propped up against the turnbuckle, Josh would then launch his next attack, where he would break into a sprint towards her.

Picking up his speed, Josh would then try to hit Maria with his own body, flattening her body between himself and the turnbuckle, hitting her with a corner splash. "Booyah!" Josh let out an excited battle cry after hitting Maria with the move.

Maria was slumped in the corner, only being held up by her arms on the top rope. She fought to keep her eyes up watching the young stud make his way to the corner with a bright smile on his face, playing to the crowd....heh....he definitely fit the mold of a pro wrestler after all.

Her small glimmer of pride at him was cut off the moment his muscular torso slammed into her with a splash! The blow made her bones pop from the pressure, driving all the air from Maria in a painful, "Oough!!!!!"

Her body lay against Josh, cheek pressing against his warm chest as her hand weakly grasped at him. It was clear the poor veteran was totally punch drunk, legs turning inward as she held onto him, "Mmmm..w..warm....."

Josh was getting more excited after hitting Maria with the corner splash as the luchadora slumped against him. Grinning widely, he would grab onto her body somewhat gently as he would pull her away from the corner. He had one thing in mind to finish her off, though there was something that he wanted to do first before putting a neat finish on this match.

"Say, babe... you don't mind if we go out on a date after this?" Josh asked as he dragged Maria towards the center of the ring, keeping her rather close. He somewhat enjoyed the feeling of keeping her on her feet. After all, he was a healthy, hot-blooded male with great appreciation towards women in general. He wanted to hear Maria's response first before he moved on to his next move.

Maria had to admit......the feeling of Josh supporting her as he pulled her battered form to the center of the ring felt...oddly nice. Her mind was in this warm haze, almost missing his question to her entirely. She blinked slowly, visibly processing the words as her cheeks flushed under her mask.

"O-ok..." she mumbled softly, nodding up at him, "y..your pretty cute..."

[PrinceArjuna332]

When Maria called him cute, Josh blinked before he flushed slightly. "Really? Aw, shucks!" Josh showed a more endearing smile upon being complimented by the woman. Of course, now that he had gotten the response from her, it was time for him to finish her off once and for all. Maneuvering himself right behind Maria, Josh would wrap his arms around her neck, putting her into a sleeper hold. He would begin squeezing as he would try to put the luchadora to sleep.

"Alright, we're gonna have a date soon! Lookin' forward to it!" Josh said excitedly as he would slowly lower himself and Maria while still keeping the sleeper. Soon, Josh would end up on one knee while holding onto Maria, looking to make her pass out from the sleeper hold.

[SleeperAgent94]

Maria swayed in the center of the ring, losing sight of the young stud as she blinked out at the crowd, who pointed behind her as if she was in danger...but that couldn't be right....

A warm, toned bicep snaked around her throat, stopping any cries dead in their tracks as the pressure began to suddenly intensify in a brutal Sleeper Hold! Her arms jerked up in response, legs buckling as she was lowered down to her knees. All maria could hear was her own choked gasps, and feel the warm curves of Josh's pecs pressing into her back. Eyes fluttering, it only took a few moments for the once proud luchadora to go limp in his grasp.

The ref was quick to come in, checking on the veteran with a small lift of her arm. Letting go of her wrist, the official watched it thud lifelessly onto the canvas.

Another lift........THUD

The ref grasped her wrist, raising it one last time before letting it drop with a satisfying thud.

"THAT'S IT! SHE'S OUT! RING THE BELL!!" called the ref, with the bell clanging out multiple times

[PrinceArjuna332]

Holding Maria tight in the sleeper hold, Josh could feel that his opponent grew weakened by the move, and soon, she seemed to have lost her consciousness. The referee immediately checked on her, and after her arm flopped to the mat for the third time, the referee immediately declared that the match was over, and Josh was the one who emerged victorious in this match.

"Woohoo!" Josh cheerfully hooted as the referee raised his arm. The crowd cheered for the young man, and he smiled triumphantly after getting himself a win over a much experienced opponent.

After that, he looked at the unconscious Maria before he kneeled down, looking to lift her up and hold her in a bridal carry. "Alright, babe. You already promised, so let's get you outta here!" Josh said excitedly before he carried Maria out of the ring. The crowd wolf-whistled and catcalled as Josh carried the unconscious Maria in a gentle manner. Without much fanfare as his music was played, he brought her to the exit.
