Kyo Akamatsu vs Rachel Kincaid (D)

[Underdoggo]

Match Type: Pure wrestling match
Victory conditions: Verbal submission or tapout only. Each wrestler is only allowed a maximum of three rope breaks; after that rope breaks will not be counted.

The crowd was excited as the arena was cleared for yet another match tonight. This one was going to be a an intergender submission match, with the rarely used "pure wrestling" stipulation limiting rope breaks. This meant that this was bound to be a tense, hard fought affair. And, rumour had it, one of the competitors was having their debut match tonight.

Not the first fighter, though. The first fighter was well known by now.

The first of the fighters arrived to the sound of "Kanjite Knight" from the Mazinger Z soundtrack blaring on the intercom. To the cheers of the crowd, Kyo Akamatsu came striding into the ring. The Scion of the Ring had gained a huge fanbase before his epic iron person match against Valley Doll; his subsequent victory over her at We Are Law cemented his status as one of the rising stars of the intergender division. The crowd had come to admire his straightforward, no-nonsense attitude to wrestling and his honourable personality, so it was no surprise that he got quite a few cheers as he entered.

Sliding under the ropes, Kyo hopped up to his feet, gave a courteous bow to the audience, and settled into his corner. He hadn't done a match with a stipulation on rope breaks before; he was already figuring that he would have to use his rope breaks carefully, as if he went for them too often he could end up trapped and unable to escape in the middle of the ring. Then again, his opponent would probably be thinking the same thing. At the thought of his opponent, Kyo turned and watched the ramp, waiting to see who would be coming out to face him tonight...

Most people would be nervous about having their debut match with a major wrestling promotion. Especially if they were a woman about to face off against a male competitor who had a plethora of experience to draw from. But Rachel was like most people. She had conquered every opponent that had stood before her, male or female, and tonight would be no different. While her opponent might be someone of some renown, Rachel had plenty of tools in her arsenal to take him down. Tools that weren’t limited to just wrestling ability.

Rachel stepped out onto the stage to the sound of Pat Benatar. Despite being a fresh face to the crowd, she received no shortage of cheers. The perks on being a beautiful woman perhaps. A notion that was supported by the fact the she caught more than a few lecherous gazes on her as she walked down to the ring. But whether the fans were truly supporting her or if they were hoping to see her in a compromising position, she’d show them something you wouldn’t soon forget.

Rachel made a little show of stepping through the ropes. Bending over and sticking her chest out as she slipped under the middle and top rope. Once she was fully inside the ring she turned to her opponent and flashed her most charming smile and batted her eyelashes at him.

“A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I only hope that I can provide you with an adequate challenge.”

Kyo had not been informed of who his opponent would be ahead of time, and so he hadn't known what to expect. Given the wide variety of wrestlers fighting under LAW's banner, Kyo had so far encountered all types: amazonian powerhouses and light, agile flyers; grapplers and strikers; serious-minded competitors, cruel heels, and fighters who delighted in pushing their sex appeal.

Looking at Rachel Kincaid, one might be forgiven for putting her in that last category.

The fans cheered as the brunette strode down the ring, deliberately taking her time in sliding through the ropes so that the crowd could have a nice, long look at her assets. And, Kyo couldn't help but notice, they were considerable assets; Rachel was wrapped in a tight ochre leotard that practically clung to her body, highlighting her well developed abs and generous chest, and leaving her ample thighs exposed partially exposed above her long boots. She wore a matching ochre jacket over her leotard, and her braided brown hair was adorned with flowers. Not the look of a serious wrestler, but Kyo also knew that it meant that Rachel was coming into this match with a lot of confidence.

And that confidence was on full display as she sauntered over towards him, batting her eyelashes. Despite all of his rigid self-discipline, Kyo blushed. He immediately started to mentally recite a lot of the mantras he had practiced, to keep his mind focused and in the game. He often found he had to mentally those mantras a lot when an attractive female opponent was being...well, forward with him.

"The pleasure is all mine, Miss Kincaid," he replied as neutrally as possible, giving a polite bow. "As to whether or not you'll give me a challenge...well, that remains to be seen."

And with that, Kyo backed away, never keeping his eyes off his opponent as he rotated his shoulders, limbering up as he waited for the bell...

Rachel had turned on the charm to how he would react. She wasn’t disappointed as a blush formed on her opponent’s face and when he spoke he was clearly trying not to sound too flustered. To his credit, he did do a pretty good job of keeping himself calm. But if a simple gesture like this was enough to fluster him then she could only wonder how long he would hold out once she turned up the pressure.

As soon as her music faded out, the bell rang to signal the start of the match. Since the match limited each competitor to only three rope breaks, Rachel would need to be careful. She needed to wear her opponent down quickly and minimize his offense as much as possible to avoid having to use them. With that in mind she approached Kyo slowed with her arms raised inviting him for a lock up. If he accepted then she would make it a point to stick her chest out during the exchange and invade his personal space as much as she could.

The bell rang, and in an instant, Rachel was circling him, smiling as she motioned for a lockup. Kyo gladly accepted, raising his own arms and mirroring her circle. Though Rachel had been...well...rather provocative in their initial greeting, Kyo nonetheless knew he couldn't afford to take her lightly, and he had to admit that he was legitimately curious as to how strong this girl was.

The two of them met in the center of the ring, pushing and twisting in a classic grapple. Rachel was being quite aggressive, leaning practically her whole body in against him-- leaning so far forward, in fact, that her chest pressed up against his own. Even as the two grappled, Kyo felt himself redden a little at the feeling of Rachel's soft chest mushing up against his pecs.

He was quick to counter, though, spinning around behind the brunette and twisting an arm behind her back, transitioning to a chickenwing hammerlock as he sought to test the waters with some classic chain wrestling...
