Drop the bomb! Makoto Naito vs Ashley Lucas

[pikazard]

Ashley took a deep breath as she waited in the gorilla position, as always. Tonight was the night of her first ever professional match against a man, which almost felt like it was a second debut match in its own right. The last time she had participated in a mixed match was way back in her high school days, and it was not a good memory at all; she had been toyed with and humiliated. But that was then and this was now. Ashley put a hand to her chest, and took one last long deep breath to calm her nerves before she heard the opening lines to her entrance music "Alright, let's rock!"

Ashley walked out onto the ramp and posed with her right hand in the air pointing to the sky and her left hand on her hip, holding that pose for a few seconds before she continued to walk down the ramp at a brisk pace. She was welcomed with rather modest and scattered applause. Despite her best efforts she had performed rather mediocre in her first few LAW matches, leaving a rather poor first impression on the fans. Which was all the more reason why she needed to win tonight and get her career back on track. But against her opponent for tonight she knew it wasn't going to be easy. Makoto Naito; a man who had 40 pounds and 9 inches over Ashley, not to mention a very impressive track record from before LAW. But that didn't matter, Ashley had to win, and if that meant putting a stain on this mans debut then so be it.

Ashley made her way through the ropes into the ring and pumped her fist into the air as her entrance music faded away. Then she made her way to the corner and leaned into it, keeping a close eye on the entrance so she could get a good look at him as he came to the ring.

Makoto hums adjusting her hoodie, looking around the hallways as he waits to be called out. He smiles chewing a piece of gum, before a staff member told him it was time for him to go. He nods heading to the gorilla position, stretching and rolling his wrists. A few moments after, he paused waiting for the intro of the song to play. Once it did he smirks as he danced a bit before heading out

He walked out with a grin, not waving or anything to the crowd, just simply walking to the ring, throwing a few punches at the air. He would jump up and land on the apron stepping into the the ring in quick fashion. He spins around after stepping in, putting his arms up in fists and smiling at the crowd. He turns back looking at Ashley, walking over smiling and joking saying "So you gunna be my opponent or are ya her daughter waiting for her?" Taunting the girls height before heading to his corner

[pikazard]

Ashley watched her opponent for the night like a hawk as he made his entrance. Makoto Naito was a tall man wearing a yellow hoodie with a smile that didn't seem to leave his face. The hoodie made it hard to tell what his body was like underneath. His grin never left his face once, making it difficult for Ashley to tell what he was thinking exactly. Was he really excited about his debut so much that he couldn't hide it? Was he really nervous and just putting on a fake face to hide it? Or did he think there was nothing to worry about because Ashley was his opponent? Was Ashley overthinking this? All possibilities.

As Makoto entered the ring he joked about the height gap between the two of them, making Ashley scowl "Are you here to wrestle or make jokes? Take this seriously!" Ashley took wrestling very seriously, so she could be pretty uptight about it sometimes, unlike Makoto.

When the bell rang Ashley would look to take the initiative to get an early lead on her opponent. She dashed out of her corner like a bat out of hell and went to take Makoto down with a clothesline to the neck. In a mixed match Ashley was naturally at a disadvantage, so she had to make her own advantages.

[SweetHeart]

Makoto chuckles at the little girls response, heading to his corner and doing a few stretches, slipping out of his hoodie and tossing it to the side of the ring. He stretched on the ropes humming, before turning around smiling and getting ready as the match started.

As the girl ran at him he only grins more "Not gonna be that easy" He would surprising easily toss her up into the air, due to her small size. However the landing wouldn't be any better then the flight, as instead of landing on the map, he would slam her in the face with a huge uppercut, giving her an Instant Headache, the crowd letting out collective gasp at the sudden move

He kept his fists up unsure of the girl was out from this, but if she wasn't able to respond, he simply shrugged saying "Maybe that was a bit much" Before attempting to pick up the dazed girl and send her to the corner

[pikazard]

Makoto didn't answer Ashley's fiery question and instead just chuckled at her, which only made Ashley all the more irritated at him, a fact that he would be able to tell just from her body language. Now she wanted to hurt him all the more. With that goal in mind she had dashed at him, hoping to take the initiative and get an early lead in the match. Unfortunately, it seemed like she had been a little too eager for her own good.

Without the element of surprise on her side all it took was some quick reflexes for Makoto to stop her in her tracks and toss her into the air like a rag doll "Wooooooooah!!!" Needless to say she had been taken off guard, she was nothing more than a mess of flailing limbs as she tried to gain her bearings in the air. Her eyes went wide as saucers when she saw that Makoto was gearing up for an uppercut "Wait! Sto-" WHAM

Ashley was sent reeling back from the punch, spinning in midair so that she landed upside down with her shoulders hitting the mat. For a second she was actually balanced in that position with her rear sticking in the air, then gravity did its thing and her body slumped against the ground. Ashley let out a groan while holding her hands to her face, his fist had left a red mark on her face that looked like it would bruise, marring her attractive features.

After taking such a heavy hit so early in the match Ashley wasn't exactly on top of her game. As Makoto picked her up she would send a weak elbow into his gut to try and stop him, but would ultimately be unsuccessful and was sent into the corner. She kept a weary eye on him as she watched to see what he would do next.

[SweetHeart]

Makoto was rather surprised by how easy it was to take the girl down, but then again she wasn't expecting to be hit so quickly. Along with the landing be a bit less then what she would have wanted, he still had to focus on the match. He would then send her too the corner, he cracked his knuckles before shrugging "Sorry bout this"

He would begin to send a flurry of punches to her stomach, then just striking her all over her body until she would fall, and if she wasn't able to get away he would then hit her with and uppercut to finish. He would back away and then attempt to pin her, hoping to end the match early on

[pikazard]

Ashley watched Makoto approach her while cracking his knuckles, a sound which sent a shiver down her spine. Funnily enough Ashley had somewhat of a habit of cracking her knuckles as well in an attempt to intimidate her opponents before the match started, but when she did it it never seemed to work. But when Makoto cracked his knuckles it gave the threat that more of his punches were coming her way, which made her flinch. When he started to send punches out to her stomach she tried to block them, but she only managed to stop the first punch before the second sunk into her stomach, followed by a third and a fourth.

As Makoto started punching all over her body Ashley could do little more than try and protect herself as much as possible by hiding behind her arms and curling up. After a punch made her drop to her knees Ashley saw Makoto gearing up for an uppercut and knew she needed an out "No!" She quickly rolled to the side underneath the bottom rope, dropping out of the ring and landing on her back. Ashley knew very well that she should be getting up so that she could take the fight back to him, but the part of her that acknowledged that was just a small voice in the back of her head. Instead of heeding that voice she instead decided to take what little opportunity she had to rest, cradling her injured stomach while curling up into a fetal position.

As far as opening moments of matches went this had not exactly been Ashley's best.

[SweetHeart]

The uppercut would miss, hitting nothing but the turnbuckle, Makoto quickly searching for the girl after she was able to escape from the rush. He found where she went feeling a bit bad for her, seeing her in a bit of a weak spot. He would back off a bit, going to his corner as the referee started to count, Makoto simply throwing a few punches waiting for her to get back in

Once she was back, he would quickly head to her and attempt to grab her in a headlock, a standard move as her dragged her to the middle of the ring

[pikazard]

Ashley lay on the ground outside of the ring, licking her wounds and generally feeling quite sorry for herself. Less than five minutes ago she had promised herself that she was going to win and turn her poor luck around, but now here she was; laying on the ground, sore all over and feeling like she'd been hit by a truck. It was so pathetic it was almost laughable, only Ashley wasn't exactly in a laughing mood just now. If there was any silver lining right now it would be that Makoto had decided not to chase her out of the ring, giving her some time to rest.

While Ashley was nursing her aching body she could vaguely hear the sound of the referee's countdown, when she focused more she realised that the number was worryingly high. Despite her body's protests she got to her feet and climbed back into the ring, avoiding getting a ringout by the skin of her teeth.

Upon Ashley re-entering the ring Makoto made his way over to her and wrapped his arm around her head to secure a headlock which Ashley did not even bother to try and escape. He then began to drag her to the middle of the ring. When they were around halfway there Ashley would take a deep breath in and then throw a strong elbow aimed at Makoto's gut, hoping to loosen the headlock or at the very least stun the taller man. Ashley would then wrap her arms around his waist and attempt a belly-to-back suplex.

Pulling off a move like that against a much bigger man would put strain on Ashley's body, but it would hurt Makoto more than it would hurt her. Hopefully, anyway.

[SweetHeart]

Makoto would walk to the middle of the ring, trying to bring along Ashley, but was stopped by an elbow to the stomach, which would make him pause, before being too slow as she would lift him, up dropping him on his head, and making him double over as she hit a massive suplex. Makoto would roll holding his head

If she didn't respond right away he would get back up, grinning a bit saying "Glad you're at least going to try and be a bit more fun" He would attempt to get up, motioning for her to bring it
