Taking Flight: Rafael Aguilar (D) vs Collei Kushti

[Bare]

Standard Match: Winner to be decided by pinfall, submission or knockout

Rafael took a deep breath in preparation for the match ahead of him. It was his first official match in LAW, the grandest stage he had ever competed in to this point and he was looking forward to it. But admittedly there was also a bit of a knot in his stomach for those very same reasons. It was different than his previous bouts, much greater pressure being on him to perform, but he was determined to make the most of this opportunity! Putting on his black and gold entrance jacket he would get up and begin making his way to the entrance curtain, waiting there as the announcer made his introduction before finally his entrance music kicked on.

Overall it was a light and airy piece, with a positive tone and focus on electronic music. Rafael had chosen it cause he felt it best matched who he was and the way he fought, and what he fought for and as he came out from the curtain it seemed it at least had the right effect on the crowd. It was polite, overall decent applause, maybe a little above average but nothing crazy, the energetic music certainly helping but Rafael hadn't been expecting much.

After all he was a new face, and a male one at that in a largely female dominated company but that's why he would give them a reason to cheer. Coming down the ramp with a confident gait and approaching the ring proper Rafael would leap over the ropes and hop right onto a corner, unzipping his jacket and showing his chest and abs which admittedly garnered a few cheers than before as he dropped his jacket outside the ring then hopped off the corner. Turning and facing the entrance ramp he would lean forward on his knees, watching and waiting with anticipation for his opponent to come down.

In all of her time in LAW, Collei had, shockingly enough, never taken part in a basic wrestling match of any sort. All of her matches were that of the lewd variety, so when she was signed up to take on a debutant in a standard match, in her eyes, it was a double debut, even though it was not registered as such. What made things especially surprising was that her opponent tonight was another male. She had already faced Black Severin before, but that was in vastly different circumstances, but she was not opposed to this. She was ready to take on anyone, no matter what!

Her theme played not long after Rafael's had finished, and her name was called out through the intercomm, so Rafael knew her name now. She walked out to the sounds of rapturous cheers and wolf whistles, meaning that she had garnered a good fanbase, and the crowd was pretty stacked too, the largest crowd she had ever fought in front of, which did give her the willies. But she was stalwart, and carried on, refusing to let nerves get the better of her!

Soon enough, she reached the ring and slipped between the ropes, where she saw Rafael. He certainly was a handsome chap and, even though they were about to throwdown, she couldn't help but blush at him. She was not normally into men, but he was certainly a looker. She smiled at him and moved forwards, holding a hand out to him

Rafael was bouncing foot to foot in anticipation for the entrance of his opponent, watching as eventually it would kick up and the girl herself came out. Nodding in appreciation at how cute she was he also noted her confidence which was much greater than his own when he had started out. Or so he thought at least since he had heard Collei was a young lioness which meant that she was apparently newer to this.

Whatever the case as the green haired girl came up towards him with her hand extended out he would smile right back at her while approaching and putting his own out to grasp her hand and give it a firm shake. "Hola senorita hopefully we can have a great match with each other." He said to her politely with a amicable smile on his face.

Something changed when Rafael started to talk to her. Something about his voice sounded alluring. Maybe it was the accent, or the fact he called her senorita, but whatever it was, her face went red suddenly, and her stomach became full of butterflies almost immediately. She shook her head suddenly though and snapped too as the two of them shook hands and got ready to fight. Collei took a moment to do a couple of last minute stretches before hearing the bell go, signalling the start of the match!

As the bell tolled, she walked forwards and put her hands out, offering a test of strength. There was not much Collei knew about actual wrestling, but matches often started like this, from what she saw in the boot camp she was in, so she assumed Rafael would agree. She was aware though that her physical strength was lacking.

After greeting his opponent Rafael would back up while looking down to make sure his attire was squared away correctly, completely missing the blush and flustered expression of Collei in the process. After finishing however he would look up with a confident expression at the green haired girl just in time as the bell rang officially starting the bout between the two young wrestlers!

Looking across the ring at Collei he would notice the young lioness putting her hands out, clearly offering a test of strength which immediately made Rafael's eyes light up before nodding. "I see they teach you right here." The Puerto Rican native said confidently as he approached and reached out to grasp his hands with Collei's own.

As he did this he would wait a moment, giving Collei a nod before starting to push forward against her, not using his full strength just yet, instead focused on matching Collei's own for the time being, wanting to see just what she was capable of!

[FreshBritishSalmon]

Collei was relieved when the Puerto Rican accepted her invite for a test of strength, before then complimenting the LAW YL programme for teaching her this. She nodded agreeably, before starting to push back. "Yes, they have taught me very well here. I used to be afraid of engaging in combat, but they have helped me spectacularly. Though this is my first time in an actual match" Collei admitted as the fight begun in earnest.

Collei's physical strength was not exactly stellar and it was not long before she was capped out and though she was currently slightly overpowering Rafael, if her put much more into it, that would quickly change. Nevertheless, Collei was nothing if not honourable, so she carried on with the test, though she expected Rafael to take over at this point.

Rafael continued to smile at Collei, impressed with her response to his praise. Namely that she gave credit to her trainers and LAW rather than try to brag and boast or anything of the sort. It was definitely something that he liked to see and hearing that this seemed to be her first match only made him smile a bit more gentler at her.

"Well don't worry, I'll be sure to make you're first time memorable." He said to her with a grin, not realizing the double entendre in what he said as the two began the test of strength in earnest, and after a bit of matching her strength he would slowly but surely add more power on, aiming to push her straight backwards until he could pin her hands to the mat!

If he was able to do this then Rafael would try and push his lower body into the air before dropping his hips down on top of Collei's waist to push her all the way down to end up straddling her in a early pinfall attempt!

[FreshBritishSalmon]

As Collei had expected, Rafael was just that little bit stronger than her, and she soon found herself being pushed back slowly, her feet struggling to gain traction on the oddly slippery ring floor, and soon, she found herself on the floor, with Rafael pushing his torso on her body. She grimaced as her opponent went for a very early pinfall attempt, but it was thwarted by her opponent's tenacity, keeping her shoulders just barely lifted off the mat, gritting her teeth, before hooking a leg around Rafael's and attempting to roll them both over so she got control!

If this worked, Collei would then attempt to give what Rafale did to her right back at him, but instead of stopping at the torso, she would attempt to put her opponent into a full grapevine, while keeping their test of strength still locked, though she knew she almost certainly not getting a full 3 count pin this early on!

[Bare]

Managing to win the impromptu test of strength Rafael would smile down at Collei, curious about how she would respond to this. Impressively so Collei managed to use her leg to pull Rafael off and over to her side with the green haired girl now managing to get on top of him in return! "Hah impressive." Rafael got out just before Collei's legs started to thead around Rafael's own for a grape vine!

"Ngh! Impressive!" Rafael said with a hint of a wince while raising his chest and propping up on his elbows to try and get his shoulders off the mat. If he managed to do so successfully then he would suddenly pull one arm down, hopefully pulling Collei down at an angle and if he did so he would try and capitalize by also twisting to one side, trying to roll the two over and end up back on top of Collei with a small smirk on his face as he looked down at her, this time, if he was successful pulling his legs up higher while trying to straddle higher up on her chest, while holding her arms down.

[FreshBritishSalmon]

Collei had managed to reverse the situation, but her attempt to pin her opponent were thwarted when he propped himself up on his elbows and managed to flip the two over, reversing the situation once again, meaning now Rafael was sat on Collei's chest!

Collei grimaced slightly and thrust her body up, refusing to be pinned this easily, before thrusting her legs up suddenly in an attempt to lock Rafael in a headscissor from a pinned position! If this worked, she would grip tightly, trying to weaken her opponent enough for her to free herself!
