Trisha Andrews vs. Sheila Chihara - Strength of Will

[Arjuna]

Standard Match
Victory Conditions: Gained by either pin, KO, or submission from the opponent.
Normal rules apply.

Trisha Andrews would be having another match, and this time, she would be facing a newbie named Sheila Chihara. She didn't know much about the girl, other than her being one of those Young Lioness, which meant that the girl was pretty much a greenhorn and still wet behind the ears. Perhaps the management thought that this Sheila might benefit from this match, whether she ended up winning or losing.

Not that Trisha was planning to lose either. She was determined to show that she would not hold back against a beginner like this girl, and she was determined to make this a show to remember to everyone. Wearing her gold-trimmed white wrestling outfit, the African-American wrestler prepared herself to make her entrance before she received her cue.

Trisha Andrews

With Deep Night playing from the loudspeakers, Trisha stood at the ramp and flexed her arms, receiving a pop from the crowd. Then, she would make her way down to the ramp, showing off her well-built figure for all to see. She smiled, loving the fact that the crowd was going crazy over her figure. Soon, she reached the ring, and she would enter the ring by rolling under the ropes.

Once she was in the ring, Trisha would do a little stretching before she waited at the corner, draping her arms over the top ropes. Leaning against the turnbuckle, she looked at the direction of the entrance so that she could properly see this Sheila and determine what kind of wrestler she was. Even if she was a Young Lioness, Trisha still needed to be cautious, or else she might end up losing against a newbie.

Backstage, Sheila was having a hard time keeping herself still. She had always been a cheerful and excitable girl, but this was a special day for her indeed. It was her second match facing off against the main roster! When Sheila had announced this news to some of her classmates, they were confused as to why she would be this excited when it wasn't her first match against a main roster member. But to Sheila, it was obvious. If she faced off against a veteran wrestler one time, that could be a fluke. Or, even worse, the management might end up seeing it as a sign that she wasn't cut out for the big leagues. But to be called back a second time meant something! It meant that Sheila was truly making waves, and that whoever was doing the booking felt like she had somewhere to go! She saw her opportunity, and she was determined to take it!

As she finished lacing up her boots and tugged the straps on her generic black leotard into place, Sheila sat on a bench in the locker room, but her feet kicked at the air, her heart pounding in her chest. Soon enough, she was called to the curtain, and she jumped to her feet, rushing to make her entrance!

Sheila burst through the curtains onto the entrance ramp with a cheer, thrusting her fist skyward. It was a rather more enthusiastic entrance than most Young Lionesses got, but Sheila couldn't help it! All the same, she didn't get quite as big a response as Trisha did, not having the name or the record to prove herself. Still, there were a few cheers - a few fans who had seen her last match and saw her potential, a few who felt like rooting for the underdog, a few who just thought she had a nice butt, but cheers nonetheless! Sheila felt all the more encouraged as she took off, running to the ring at full speed before she dove under the ropes!

Seeming no worse for wear after such a stunt, Sheila popped herself back up and turned to face her opponent with a grin, waving to her. "Hi!! I'm Sheila! I hope we have a good match! I'm gonna give it my best shot, okay?"

[Arjuna]

Trisha watched as her opponent for tonight made her entrance. Sure enough, even her outfit seemed generic, considering that she was one of those Young Lioness. Still, she was energetic and enthusiastic, and she could tell that if she could maintain her momentum in this promotion, the girl would surely advance up the ranks in the roster. Of course, potential or not, this Sheila would surely face a roadblock in her advancement as a professional wrestler tonight, since she would be facing her, Trisha Andrews.

Trisha waited for Sheila to enter the ring, and she nodded to her after hearing her words. "Of course. I expect nothing less from you, sugarbun..." The African-American wrestler told the girl before her, placing her hands on her hips. "Please remember that I won't hold back just because you're a rookie," she reminded her as she would make her way to the center of the ring, preparing herself for the match to begin. The referee would tell both wrestlers to get ready, and the crowd began braying for actions before the bell was rung.

To start off the match, Trisha would raise both her arms, readying herself for a lock up with the cutie. At the same time, she would begin circling her opponent, moving to the side as she would wait for her to make her first move. All the while, she would watch Sheila's movement so that she could see what she was trying to do next. Just because the girl before her was a beginner didn't mean she had to drop her guard. While she might be confident in her ability, Trisha would be careful to not be too overconfident.

Sheila might not have established herself much in the eyes of LAW. She was still a rookie, and she hadn't yet attained the privelages of choosing her own ring gear, but she still did her part to make her entrance memorable as she ran down to the ring with boundless enthusiasm. Some wrestlers might have preferred to conserve their energy for when it would really matter in the match, but Sheila didn't care. She was never the type to think things too far out, and besides, how could she help it? This was exciting!

She was just as excited to get right into the match, as she looked up to lock eyes with Trisha, her grin spreading wider over her face. Even hearing her opponent's warning, Sheila didn't seem any less confident in herself. She met it with a nod, stepping closer and getting into a stance. "Of course! But I'll be ready for anything!"

With the sound of the bell, Sheila was quick to close the distance between her and Trisha, leaning in closer and reaching to grab her arms as they entered the typical lockup. As they circled around the ring, Sheila pushed and pulled at her arms a few times, getting a feel for her strength and what she might expect from her. But Sheila didn't intend to stand by passively and wait for Trisha to start things off. Throwing herself boldly into the match, she would move to swing her leg around Trisha's, pulling back to try and sweep her off her feet!

[Arjuna]

Trisha could tell that Sheila was very enthusiastic in the ring, though enthusiasm could only bring someone so far. The girl needed to learn from her mistakes and rack up experiences before she could call herself a proper professional wrestler. And now that the match had begun, Trisha waited for Sheila to close in for a lock up, and when they finally locked up, Trisha would match her opponent's movements, pushing and pulling as the two of them twisted around, trying to gain leverage over the other in their grapple.

But then, Sheila decided to be creative and tried to swing her leg around Trisha, attempting to trip her down. Seeing what her opponent was trying to do, Trisha tried to resist the sweep, expanding her base and making sure that she wasn't easily toppled. "Heh... not bad..." Trisha complimented the girl before her before she decided to retaliate with a move of her own. While Sheila was busy trying to trip her down, Trisha would attempt to suddenly throw her shoulder forward, looking to drive it into her opponent's chest, hoping to stun her with the shoulder ram.

[CaptainL]

No one was exactly going to call Sheila a master strategist, but she'd like to think she knew a couple of things from experience, both from the training she'd had so far and in the backyard wrestling she'd done before coming to LAW. One of those things was that size and strength definitely mattered. She knew that Trisha would be hard to overpower in a lockup, given her toned muscles and the years of experience she had over Sheila. If the Australian kept trying to win out in such a test of strength, she'd only tire herself out before Trisha inevitably took her down. That was what led Sheila to go for a different approach, kicking out with her leg to try and snare her opponent's to take her down.

Unfortunately for Sheila, it was going to be harder than that to fool Trisha. Rather than go down, she simply spread her legs further, balancing her stance. Sheila stopped, looking down at first with surprise that her admittedly basic move hadn't worked, and then with frustration. "Aww, man...and I thought that would work, too!" she huffed. But that was only the start of Sheila's problems - as Trisha then turned to her and slammed her shoulder straight into her chest!

"GAH-!" Sheila yelped, reeling back from the force of the impact. She let go of Trisha and staggered back, her back arching. Sheila managed to dig her heels into the ground, but she was still dizzied, and her balance was a tenuous one as she grabbed her own bicep with the other arm, trying to catch her breath.

[Arjuna]

Driving her shoulder into Sheila's chest, Trisha could see that she had gotten herself an opportunity to continue with her attacks. Seeing that her opponent was struggling to retain her balance, the African-American beauty decided to seize this chance by charging towards her, extending out her arm before attempting to knock her down with a clothesline, smashing her arm right into her opponent's upper chest.

If she managed to take Sheila down, Trisha would quickly stop her momentum, taking a look at her opponent and standing over her. She was planning to bend down and pull her up, getting Sheila back up onto her feet so that she could continue with her onslaught. If she could maintain her momentum here, she might be able to win this match without even breaking a sweat.

[CaptainL]

Going tense, Sheila bit at the corner of her lip, trying to hang on. She had to keep her head in the game, but there was no denying that Trisha could hit hard - and, being almost ten years the Australian's senior and having been wrestling for several of them, she definitely knew what she was doing. Sheila was going to have to keep out of the way of her moves, she told herself. And, when she got the opportunity, she would have to hit her back just as hard.

But right now, she was still weary and trying to collect herself. She took in a few breaths, looking up to face her opponent - but she couldn't move out of the way in time, and what Sheila saw was Trisha running into her with her arm raised, connecting a clothesline across her chest! Her eyes going wide as she let out a scream, Sheila was thrown back off her feet, landing with a thud!

She groaned, trying to blink the fatigue out of her eyes, but Sheila would only be down for a few precious seconds before Trisha grabbed her by the arm and dragged her back up. Sheila winced, looking up to lock eyes with her foe. She wouldn't have much time to react, but she could still bide her time, and she still had a grip on Trisha's arm from where the two had intertwined. The rookie didn't let go of that - instead, she would twist her weight to the side, looking to throw Trisha off her feet with an arm drag as she pulled at her arm! It was a simple manuever, but one that would allow her to collect herself to make sure she had enough stamina to make the next one count.

[Arjuna]

Trisha smashed her arm against Sheila's upper chest with a clothesline, knocking her down with the attack. After that, she went to pick Sheila up, preparing herself to deliver her next attack. But as soon as she brought Sheila up onto her feet, Trisha somehow felt her opponent shifting her weight before she was lifted off her feet and thrown over in an arm drag. Unable to stop the momentum, Trisha was thrown down onto the mat by Sheila's arm drag, and her back hit the mat.

"NGHH!!!"

The African-American wrestler gritted her teeth, a little stunned from being thrown over, but the damage wasn't too bad. She thought that she could get herself up from this as quickly as possible, but for the time being, her arm was being held by Sheila, so she needed to get her opponent to release her arm first. Grunting, Trisha would try to push herself up before attempting to pull her arm away from her opponent's grasp. She was hoping that her opponent wouldn't be so quick to follow up her attack earlier.

[CaptainL]

As she hit the ground, Sheila gasped for air, trying to keep herself focused. She couldn't let this shake her off her game, and she needed to stay on her toes if she was going to go head to head against a veteran of the ring like Trisha Andrews. Soon, she was being pulled back to her feet, and she knew that yielding to her opponent's dominant efforts wouldn't do her any favors. But Sheila had just recovered from the clothesline, and she wasn't in the best position to start throwing powerful takedowns. She needed a counter that was swift, simple, and effective - and, with Trisha holding onto her arm, she had just the thing!

Sheila tugged harder on her opponent's arm, digging her heels into the mat to anchor herself as she went to leverage the point of contact they had. Rather than let Trisha throw her down, Sheila would pull her off her feet! She swung herself over to the side, bringing Trisha down with her as she bowled her over and got her on her back!

From there, Sheila had Trisha down, and she still had her arm held tightly. It seemed like a no-brainer that she could take advantage of this. While Sheila wasn't the best at submissions, it seemed like an easy enough opportunity for her to swing her legs into place around Trisha's arm, going to lock it in place so that she could drop down to pull Trisha's arm over her chest with an armbar! That was, if she would allow it!
