A Match Of Honor - Keiko Sasaki vs Sophia Wolfe

[SimplyWoo]

As Sophia began to rise Keiko was a few steps away. Noticing her stand up and begin to face her she ran forward, leaping at Sophia as she wrapped her arms around Sophia's neck and curved her legs around Sophia's legs. Attempting to drop Sophia down to the mat in a Lou Thesz press to try to go for an early pinfall, however Sophia had a high chance to maintain her balance as Keiko didn't have that much momentum with her charge being as close to her opponent as she was.

[thesteedman]

As Sophia expected, Keiko was upon her... but she had rushed perhaps a little too much in her offensive. A few more seconds of composure and her tackle attempt no doubt would have been certain to succeed, instead Keiko had rushed a little too much, leaping up upon the Wolfe with a Lou Thesz Press attempt. Her legs hooked onto her own as Keiko's arms wrapped around her neck.

Sophia stumbled back as Keiko clashed against her, but otherwise managed to keep her feet, wrapping her arms around Keiko's body tightly to keep her close.
"Not good enough Keiko!" Sophia warned with a stern tone. Her words were not to belittle Keiko but to warn her not to be so hasty, given her tone of voice however it might have come out differently than Sophia meant it to. Sophia was no powerhouse, but she had a hidden strength within her, as she gave Keiko a good few hard squeezes as punishment for her attempt to take her down! Sophia would be hard pressed to get a submission out of Keiko from such a bearhug, and as such she only held it on for a moment, walking towards the centre of the ring.

It was then she hoisted Keiko upwards, before slamming her down with a spine buster! It wasn't a go to move once again, as she preferred high impact suplexes, but the moves made sense for the situation she was in... and slowly Sophia pressed her hands down on Keiko trying to get a quick and sneaky pin against her whilst she was dazed from the impact.

One!

[SimplyWoo]

Keiko heard Sophia and had a look of concern on her face as the Lou Thesz Press attempt failed. She then whipped her head up into the air as she moaned out as Sophia squeezed her tightly. With the size difference, even with Sophia not being a powerhouse, the hold looked monstrous on little Keiko as her arms stretched out past Sophia's face as she grimaced trying to endure the move. She then was brought down in a spinebuster as she groaned out and arched briefly before Sophia attempted to pin her. The count got to two before Keiko's legs rose up, giving a buck back down to the mat as it helped her upper body spring up a little bit as she kicked out of the pin.

[thesteedman]

Sophia knew it would take a lot more to keep Keiko down than a simple spinebuster... but it certainly didn't hurt to try for a pinfall attempt none the less. Sophia from her position was able to once more capture Keiko's body within her arms however, reacting fast as she buckled her body and arched, giving her another hard bearhug! This time however, she hoisted the smaller Keiko upwards against her, standing up to her feet before she began to reposition herself in the centre of the ring.

She dipped Keiko back, tightening her grip upon the smaller wrestler, giving her a good long squeeze in her arms, before she flipped back, going for a big release belly to belly suplex, looking to launch Keiko into the centre of the ring. Kick flipping up to her feet, Sophia looked to press on her attack, leaping up deftly and quite skilfully onto the ropes before she attempted a springboard moonsault towards Keiko on the ground!

[SimplyWoo]

Keiko yelped out as she was pulled back up into another bearhug. She wrapped her legs around Sophia's waist as she buried her face into the side of Sophia's neck as she wrapped her arms around her neck and let out some muffled moans and whimpers. She then let go of Sophia completely as she was launched into a belly to belly suplex, landing on her back with her arms and leg spread out as she laid on the mat. She then looked over to see Sophia spring off the ropes and flip towards her as she in return rose both of her legs up to tuck her knees in place of where her stomach was, letting Sophia land on that instead as she replied. "Not..good enough...Sophia." She would then try to recover before Sophia could and get behind her and lock her arms around Sophia's waist, squeezing her in a reverse bearhug as she pulled her back up to her feet.

Meanwhile a surprise wrestler exited out of the curtain. It was the long blue haired Lady Leviathan as her blue eyes watched the center ring intently, fixated on Sophia as she slowly strutted her way down the ramp, getting closer to the action, clad in her battle gear with her shield on her back as she licked her lips looking at Sophia being wrapped up.

[thesteedman]

Once more Sophia underestimated her opponent, perhaps over extending her attack... and twice she was now paying the price! With a heavy impact, Sophia groaned out as she landed stomach first against Crossfire's lifted knees, bouncing off of her before hitting the mat. She winced, curling up in pain for a moment before she tried to get up to her feet, knowing she could waste no time with an opponent as sharp as Keiko.

She might have smiled given the retort Keiko shot back at her, as the young woman certainly was not wrong. Her attack had not been good enough, and now Keiko had hold of her body from behind. Sophia groaned out, feeling the pressure build around her midriff, as she instinctively tried to pry free. The smaller girl was surprisingly strong, and she had a damn good grip upon her slender form.

During this... it seemed another guest had arrived, slowly walking towards the ring with purpose. The fans all began to talk in confusion, wondering what it was that Lady Leviathan was doing here. Neither of the wrestlers had yet to notice her, focused on the match at hand. Sophia bit on her lower lip, as she tried to send an elbow towards Keiko... if that failed, Sophia looked to jump and flip with her, hoping to land on her back with Keiko underneath her taking the brunt of the impact.

[SimplyWoo]

Keiko grunted out as she felt the elbow and her grip loosened, however, the lock still remained. That was until Sophia used a burst of strength to jump up and forward which brought Keiko off of her feet and going into a flip as well as she grunted out as she was slammed onto her back, releasing Sophia from the impressive counter. To this Kira slowly clapped outside now that she reached the edge of the ring. "Excellent counter cutie." She mentioned with a pleased smile on her face as she stared at Sophia.

[thesteedman]

Sophia frowned when she heard an all too familiar voice. Getting up to her feet, she looked towards Kira with an expression of confusion upon her angelic features.
"Kira?... What are you doing here?" Sophia spoke out, placing her hands on her hips as she looked upon the deadly opponent she had to face last show. For now she remained at the edge of the ring, and Sophia was a little put off by her slow clap. It was the look in her eyes that disturbed her the most however, seeing that all too familiar look of twisted desire she had endured so much during their last meeting.

For better or for worse, she simply had to ignore her for the time being... but Sophia was naturally cautious. The main issue was that she was not able to capitalise upon her counter as well as Sophia would have liked, and she realised Keiko was already recovering from her flip slam counter. She quickly tried to go back on the offensive, grasping at Keiko's wrist before she tried to Irish Whip her towards the far corner. Sophia looked to follow behind her the moment she clashed against it, trying to leap up and land a spinning wheel kick of sorts against her to crush her against the corner!

[SimplyWoo]

The distraction also made Sophia lose track of the positioning of the referee, for when Keiko got whipped towards the corner the ref was near that corner so when Crossfire turned to smack into the corner turnbuckle she sandwiched the ref instead which crumpled into a heap as Crossfire ricocheted back to collide into a spinning heel kick as she crashed to the mat.

However as Sophia rose up to her feet, before she could process what happened she suddenly felt steel crash into her lower back as Kira was now in the ring to a chorus of boos as she then slid the shield that she used out of the ring. "Thank you for this opportunity." She giggled as she picked Sophia up by the hair, twisting Sophia around to face her as she wrapped her arms around Sophia's waist and lifted her up high, squeezing her tightly in a bearhug as she began to harshly bounce Sophia in her tight embrace.

[thesteedman]

Sophia's eyes went wide and she felt a pit develop in her stomach. When Crossfire collapsed, it was revealed the ref had been caught out of position, and she collapsed soon after having been sandwiched. Both the referee Keiko were down and out, and Sophia walked forwards realising she had made a grave error, looking to try and support the ref in what had been an accident. Her efforts were cut short however... her mind was racing so much that she failed to realise Kira was acting upon the fact that the ref was down.

The impact was heard throughout the stadium as the steel star was rammed into the lower back of Sophia. She screamed out in pain, dropping to her knees as she favoured her back, whipping her head back. The crowd roared in anger as Kira took complete advantage of the situation. Sophia was still stunned with agony from the back attack, and could do little to stop Kira dragging her up to her feet roughly by her hair. Kira pulled her in close... looking as if she was about to kiss Sophia upon the lips whilst Sophia was still in a stunned and pained state.

When their lips were about to meet however, instead she hoisted her up off her feet in her devastating bearhug, crushing Sophia around the waist, leaving the German woman screaming out in pain. The crowd roared on as Sophia struggled to break free, arching right back within the brutal hold in what was one of the most painful looking bearhugs!
