Tiki Lowell vs Eirika Karlson (d)

[deezcastforms]

Tiki Lowell was busy chatting with some of her friends on the LAW's backstage crew as she waited for her cue to enter the ring. Her opponent, a fellow European by the name of Eirika Karlson, would be making her LAW debut today. The girl had plenty of experience in the indies, which Tiki made sure to study. She had the bead on Eirika, her strength and speed were as dangerous as her defense and endurance were weak and exploitable. The strategy was simple; play safe and solid defense, outlast, and win once her opponent ran out of gas.

Tiki wasn't overlooking Eirika or taking her for granted, overconfidence was never a problem of hers anyway. But Tiki did find her mind wandering off of the match a bit more than usual. It's been a long time since I've faced someone making their debut, she thought to herself. I'm usually considered too big of a wolf for rookies to be thrown to. I wonder what's different now? Tiki thought back to her own debut decades ago back home in Manchester. She'd been lucky enough to draw a jobber she could show out against. Thinking about the look on her family's faces after she won put a big smile on her face. What I wouldn't give for a look inside that girl's head right now.

The time to reminisce was over now though, as the announcer's booming voice brought Tiki out of her nostalgia trip. Now was the time for a new memory, hopefully of a victory.

"IN THIS CORNER, AT 6' 160 LBS. FROM MANCHESTER, ENGLAND... TIKI LOWELL!"

With that, Tiki calmly strode towards the ring, removing her pink cape along the way. She entered the ring and took her place. When Eirika appeared, Tiki would greet her with a soft smile, saying, "Hello. Eirika. I wish you good luck in your debut."

Eirika Karlson

Eirika Karlson was ready to make her debut in LAW, ready to fight a fellow lady from Britain by the name of Tiki Lowell. Clad in her Red and gold top, White Skirt, and red boots, she did a couple of shadowboxing motions. This was all very exciting for her, to be able to wrestle in front of such a large crowd. This was her big moment, and hopefully her opponent will give her a great match.

The LAW Official gave her a signal to come to the ring. "Be right there!" Eirika said, a smile gleaming from her face as she headed to the ring, and went through the corner.

Her music hit, and the ring announcer introduced her, as the crowd gave her a positive reaction, Eirika smiling from ear to ear as she headed to the ring. She walked up the steps and went under the top rope, and then headed to her corner.

"Thank you so much Tiki, I'll give it my all." Eirika said in response to Tiki as she adjusted her attire.

As Tiki watched Eirika enter the ring, she noticed that the rookie carried herself with the confidence and poise of a seasoned veteran. She had a smile on her face and spoke clearly and confidently. "I must say I'm impressed, Eirika. I can't detect even a trace of nervousness from you. I can already tell you have a strong spirit, now it's time to see if your wrestling can match it."

Shortly after Tiki spoke, the bell rung, starting the match. As Tiki's gameplan was to start defensively, she would not charge or make any aggressive moves. Instead taking a few steps out of her corner and taking a low, defensive stance, letting Eirika take the initiative. "The first move is yours, let's see what you can do."

If Eirika's attack had some big flaw or left a big opening, of course Tiki would counter and punish it. But if the attack was solid, Tiki would attempt to meet it head on and try to act as a sturdy wall. One of Eirika's weaknesses was her stamina, and Tiki wanted to make her burn through as much of it as possible trying to break through.

"Oh thanks, I'll be sure to not dissapoint." Eirika replied to her opponent. And then the bell rang, signaling the start of the match as the crowd got hyped for the match.

Eirika noticed how Tiki wasn't coming ather, instead she was waiting for Eirika to make a move. So Eirika motioned her arms for a Collar and Elbow Tie Up, to see if Tiki would get out of her defensive position and engage with her.

When Tiki took her defensive stance and gave Eirika the first attack, she didn't take it, which Tiki was not expecting. Instead the bluenette offered to enter into a Collar and Elbow, which Tiki was happy to except. The two girls locking up and pushing against each other for an advantage played into her strategy well enough.

In terms of strength, Tiki and Eirika were shown to be roughly equal. There was no doubt that Eirika had the power to knock her out or force a submission if Tiki let her. Continuing with her strategy, Tiki wanted to goad Eirika to stay engaged and keep pushing for as long as possible, so she attempted to make Eirika believe that she actually had a slight advantage in the tie up. Tiki would occasionally slide her foot back a bit, or give up a half step. She also slightly exaggerated her grunts of effort as she pushed against Eirika to make it seem like she was the one overexerting early. If the tie up was going to end, it would be Eirika's decision.

Eirika got Tiki to enter the collar and Elbow Tie Up, just like she wanted. The two were relatively even in strength,with Eirika getting a slight advantage over her green hair counterpart. Seeing as though Tiki was losing, Eirika decided to make her next move.

Eirika would quickly let go of Tiki, and attempt to go to her back and put her in a waist lock, Eirika putting both of her arms around Tiki's waist, hoping to get Tiki set up for a big move.

Tiki and Eirika struggled for awhile, but eventually the bluenette chose to break the deadlock. She tried to slip behind Tiki, and she could see the girl already eyeing her waist as she did so. I'm probably getting hit with a nasty German Suplex if I let this happen. To stop Eirika, Tiki would intercept her path, stepping back and into Eirika. This would allow her to use her hip to 'catch' Eirika and wall her off from getting around her, much like a basketball player would do to a trailing defender.

With their current positioning, Tiki now had a free hand in very close proximity to Eirika's face. So she would fire a quick jab to briefly stun her, then attempt the very same maneuver Eirika attempted on her. Tiki would go to swing around behind Eirika, grab her around the waist and slam her back with a German Suplex.

Eirika let go of Tiki, and decided to try to get to Tiki's back. But Tiki got in the way, so Eirika had to come to a stop. In the middle of her surprised state, Tiki met Eirika with a quick jab, causing Eirika to grimace and start holding her face. And then Tiki would grab her from behind with a German Suplex, catching Eirika completely off guard.

Eirika was on her shoulders,waiting for what Tiki would do to continue.

Tiki's German Suplex hit Eirika, and while it can lead into a pin, the greenette knew the match wouldn't end that easily. Tiki simply wanted to keep the match slow and build up the momentum she has gotten. So Tiki decided that she would follow up her suplex by turning Eirika onto her stomach and attempting to mount the bluenette's back.

From that position, Tiki would go for her one of her signature moves; the Dragon Clutch. This hold was similar to the Camel Clutch, but instead of pulling back the victim's head and neck, Tiki would instead push them down with a Full Nelson grip. "I suppose now we'll see what you're really made of, Eirika."

Eirika was ready to be stuck in the German Suplex pin, but Tiki managed to let her go. Eirika found this to be odd, as the German did take a lot out of her and she certainly vulnerable to a pin attempt. But then she felt Tiki rolling her over onto her stomach and mount her, and then Eirika was put in a modified Camel Clutch.

"AAAUGH!" Eirika screamed as Tiki locked in the hold. Eirika automatically starting flailing, hoping it would force Tiki to let her go.
