When Faith Isn't Enough: Isaiah Bowen vs. Samantha Gang. POW Match

[SimplePride]

Isaiah smiled, his stratagy was working flawlessly. Every wrestler had his or her weakness. For Isaiah, it was his pride, and for Sam, it was her anger. As long as she remained angry, she could not think clearly, and she would surrender to her basic instincts. Instinct was no match for reason, and Sam was proving that in spades. The kick hit, but, it wasn't as devastating as he would have liked as his opponent was back on her knee in a few seconds.Isaiah decided it was best to let her make the mistakes, so he went into a defensive fighting stance, basically begging her to move...

Luckily for Samantha, Isaiah did not offer any immediate follow-up attack after the kick. She was able to clear out her daze, only to see the man take a defensive stance. The woman was still angry of course, but she knew doing something unexpected was the best course of action here. Sam stood up, before speeding at her foe. "Surprise, pal!" Sam let out, after swiftly unclothing her trusty black jacket, before attempting to throw the fabric over her opponent's head. If successful, Samantha would slip behind her blinded adversary. She would then use both hands to yank on the clothing, after positioning part of it under his chin. Ms. Gang was hoping to strain Isaiah's neck and upper spine this way.

A good strategy against angry brawlers like Sam was to stand back and let them make the silly mistakes, than go to work while they're down. However, when Sam charged again, he was going for a clothesline, however, Sam did something he didn't see coming: She threw her jacket in his face, "The hell?" Isaiah said in confusion, as he was temporarily blinded. H soon felt himself being yanked back, and it now it made sense. Isaiah wasn't mad at her dirty trick, after all, he did ask that Sam fight "honestly" i.e true to herself. Isaiah began the process of sliding the jacket off of his face to break this unique hold.

While Isaiah didn't have a bad strategy for dealing with hot-headed street fighters, Samantha was called the Infamous Cheater for a reason. And after swifty blinding the man with her jacket, Sam kept pulling on the fabric, which was stuck on Isaiah's face. This was in order to strain the prophet, but he soon started to undo the special hold. In response, Sam would switch tactics and attempt to kick the back of both of Isaiah's knees. This was the same thing she did to knock him down, during their first little interaction! If successful, Ms. Gang would quickly take her jacket back, before trying to strike the holy one with a kick to the back of his head. "Take this!"

[SimplePride]

Obviously, Isaiah couldn't see what Sam was thinking, or anything at all, for that matter, so when she stopped pulling, it seemed rather sudden. He took the jacket off of his head and threw it over the ropes onto the ground. That probably pissed Sam off as he felt a sharp kick on the back of his knee, making him kneel. As was to be expected, Sam came charging without thought, and even though his back was turned, he ducked the incoming kick by listening to Sam yell out. Isaiah's biggest weakness was his pride, anyone who faced him could've told you that, Sam's weakness was her wrath. It was only appropriate that these two sinners started swinging...

[dddybee]

As Samantha was taking her jacket back, Isaiah was apparently in the process of taking it off himself. The gang girl suddenly felt the fabric leave her grasp, as Isaiah threw the black jacket clean outta the ring! This indeed served to further anger Samantha, who had already knocked Isaiah down. She was ready to further retaliate, with a sharp kick to the back of the man's head. Unfortunately for her, Mr. Bowen dodged, which only angered the wrathful women more. If Isaiah was still kneeling, and with an aggravated grunt, Samantha would move down to attempt to strangle him in a chokehold. "Flinging my property was a HUGE mistake!" She steamed.

[SimplePride]

Isaiah successfully ducked Sam's wild kick, but, throwing her jacket away only served to piss his opponent off, as he soon felt her hands around his throat as she yelled something incoherent and unimportant. Isaiah began the process of prying Sam's hands away from his throat, while still at a kneeling postion. Eventually he made progress and Sam's hands slowly came apart, and soon, Isiah had his arms out wide with Sam's arms stretched apart, with what momentum he could gather, he shoved Sam away, but, noticeably, his arms stayed stretched outward in a very familiar pose...

[dddybee]

Samantha did her best to maintain her chokehold around Isaiah's neck. But slowly yet surely, her opponent was able to pry her arms away. Isaiah shoved Samantha aback, and the former hoodlum remained steamed. Her jacket has now completely outside the ring, thanks for her foe's little throw. Regardless if this was Isaiah's intention, she wouldn't be able to use it as a cheating device anymore. But for a moment, her expression turned from miffed to puzzled. She was seeing Isaiah's signature stance for the second time, after their first hostile meeting. The prophet pose once again reminded her of something her late father used to do, but this wasn't the time for flashbacks. Since the man was still on his knees, Samantha would rush over and aim and upwards kick at his chin.

[SimplePride]

It had been previously said that no man was without sin, no not one. For Sam, it was clear that her sin was Wrath. However, it was less known what Isaiah's sin was until you saw him preform in the ring: Pride. As Isaiah was to far into his Prophet spiel, he was blissfully unaware that Sam was already charging toward him, by the time he realized, it was too late: Sam's kick hit Isaiah like a rock, sending Isaiah back onto the canvas, and Isaiah was left looking at stars while face up on the mat.

[dddybee]

Isaiah indeed had his arms spread out in his signature prophet pose, for seemingly no logically reason. Apparently, he was prideful enough to engage in his gimmick for an unnecessarily long time, even at the expense of his focus in the ring! This allowed Samantha to quickly close in and wrathfully nail Isaiah with a street brawler-like kick, which sent the holy man flat on his back! "HehHehHeh." Samantha snickered, closing in on her floored opponent. "What moron? Were you in some kind of trance? Well, if you like being dazed so much, I can help you with that!" Ms. Gang would simply stand over Isaiah and brutally aim to stomp down on his face, over and over again.
