Proving one Worth: Luiza Ishikawa vs Sophia Wolfe

[The Riders]

Standard Match
Win by Pin fall or Submission

Backstage...

Thereisa has her hands placed on Sophia shoulders... Ever since that victory over Alcina, she has been spending more time along with the younger woman. Coaching and training her up, making sure that she would be able to handle any opponent that dare challenge her. 'Remember, focus and use what you're best at. Understand.' She says before leaning down and giving the woman a hug and kiss on the forehead. 'Go show them what it means to go against a der Wolf.

Meanwhile..

Luiza is starting to get frustrated backstage. So far, in all of her matches, she has been beaten... stripped... or humiliated in front of the crowd and her fans by her opponents. But hearing that she is going to be having a one on one match against a very promising middleweight, someone that had gotten the respect of a famous wrestler and even a massive upset victory over Alcina. Beating someone like that would do wonders for Luiza as she makes sure that her outfit is pulled down so that her backside doesn't show much.

Making her way out on stage to mild cheers from the fans. She slides into the ring eager to show everyone that she is not past her prime and able to handle one of the bright shining middleweights, and defeat her in the middle of the ring. 'You're going to lose tonight, little wolf... The Tigersa demands a victory.'

Earlier, Backstage...

"I was a world champion in Full Metal Wrestling. I'm not as green as you believe." Sophia managed to speak with a soft smile when Thereisa gave her a prep talk. In all truth though, she certainly had been learning to refine her already deadly strikes thanks to Thereisa, as well as pick up a few strategies. The most helpful training Sophia recieved was how to deal with those who cheated often. As a face wrestler, Sophia was too honourable for her own good, but thanks to Thereisa she was beginning to learn how to deal with those who were less than honourable in wrestling matches... what to avoid, how to defend.

More so than the pointers and the training, Thereisa had been a crutch for Sophia. Someone to rely on and speak too, something Sophia had never had before. As such her spirits were beginning to lift when she had all but been down and out previously. Since her LAW debut, whilst she had taken the roster by storm and continued a fantastic record, she had made more enemies then friends. Nha and Sha were her latest terrors, along with Mia Hoffstedder and Alcina. Fortunately she was able to overcome Alcina with massive help from Thereisa, knocking one of her threats down. There were still many to deal with, but for the first time with Thereisa by her side, it no longer felt like her back was up against the wall.

Sophia near yelped as Thereisa pulled her in for a quick hug, giving her a reassuring squeeze before kissing her on the forehead. Sophia managed a sheepish smile, trying to hide it from Thereisa. This kind of thing was all so new to her, she had disowned her unloving parents at a young age and did not know what it was like to have a mother figure in her life. Thereisa had taken the roll for her, and embraced it, going as far as to call Sophia her daughter. It would take some getting used to to be sure, but Sophia enjoyed it... it was like a dream come true to have her idol become her mother figure.

"Ich werde..."


Now...

Spoiler

Sophia's entrance had just finished, leaving the German face to face with her opponent in the ring as she adjusted her wrist straps and looked the woman in the eye.
"Little Wolf?..." Sophia scoffed, in clear reponse to Luiza's call out a moment ago. She finished adjusting the straps on her wrists before rolling her shoulders, looking her powerful looking opponent up and down to try and get a good read for what she was up against.
"Are you a little pig in a brick house Luiza Ishikawa?..." Sophia would ask her as she finished her warm ups. Sophia despite being a face and being the stern presence that she was... was seemingly not beyond trash talking when it came down to it.

"Let's hope so for your sake... Otherwise this big bad Wolf is going to blow you right down." Sophia addressed with an impassive expression, staring with one good eye and one half closed where the scar traced over it. Soon enough, Sophia took a fighting stance, prompting the crowd to cheer as it seemed things were about to get underway. Soon enough the bell began to ring out, signalling the beginning of the match!

[The Riders]

Luiza glares daggers at her younger opponent. But it works, Sophia says, that pushes her to a breaking point, the nerve of the younger women in the wrestling business being so rude and insulting to the older wrestlers that paved the way forward. And this woman in front of her had the nerve to call someone like her a pig in a brick house, that insults strikes at her pride as a former champion and ace of her company and She will be damned if Sophia thinks she will get away with that comment and worse than that Luiza swears she's going to teach the brat a lesson.

Getting into her own fighting stance with her right hand raised, and her left close to her body to make sure she can block any grapple attempt her opponent may try to use to grab her. Wanting to catch the other woman off guard, Luiza rushes in, holding her right arm back before throwing it forward, wanting to smack Sophia in the face with an open palm move to stun the other woman. Before really opening up by planning on slamming her knee right into her opponent stomach with a lot of force behind it, sending a message to the other woman that this is serious.

[thesteedman]

The anger could be seen welling up within Luiza, all whilst Scar maintained her fighting stance, all too aware of the emotions she was going through right now. Her own expression remained impassive, waiting for Luiza to make the first move... and the first move she did. The larger woman came ts Sophia hard just as the German expected. The palm strike was telegraphed, with Sophia managing to swiftly and skillfully arch back, allowing for the strike to pass overhead. As Luiza's hand retreated, Sophia raised, watching as a knee strike came towards her bare core.

Once again she was ready for the strike... however, she was not quite ready for how hard it was! Even as Sophia managed to raise her arms to block it, the knee came at her so hard, it all but near crushed her guard, lifting Sophia up of her barefeet as a loud grunt escaped from her lips. She negated the worse of the damage, but she underestimated just how hard Luiza could throw a strike, and as such she paid the price. Landing on her feet, Sophia staggered back, shaking out her arms as she bit on her lower lip. Knowing Luiza would not look to relent, she tried to drive her back with a front kick towards her chest!

[The Riders]

Luiza put everything she had into that knee strike. But her opponent was able to get her arms up to block it, almost as she can see Sophia feet go up into the air a bit before coming back down on the canvas. It wasn't enough as at best it was able to stagger Sophia backwards, the clean hit to soften up the woman toned abs is another story as she keeps her guard up knowing that now her opponent is going to take this serious and strike back just as hard... or harder than the knee she just threw at her foe.

Lunging forward to keep the advantage over the younger woman. Luiza walked right into a front kick that slams into her own toned abs, that forces her backwards with a staggering motion. Looking down at her abs before sending a cocky look at her opponent and pats her abs with her hand. 'Is that all you can do?... I expected someone a lot stronger, since you're being trained by that evil bitch you call a friend.' She mocks, taunting the relationship between Thereisa and Sophia. Before lunging forward again, wanting to catch her opponent off guard with a grapple like tackle move.

[thesteedman]

"How dare you even use such language when talking about a legend! You could never even compare to her!" Sophia spoke out with a firm tone, taking up her fighting stance. She was not too alarmed about Luiza taking her front kick, after all she looked to be a tough opponent given her powerful build and well tuned form. It would take more then a few kicks to bring this one down, but she was confident with enough attacks, like anyone this opponent would soon be left reeling and exhausted. She just had to pick and choose her strikes!

Regrettably, Sophia had become so worked up about her comment on Thereisa... that she did not realise her positioning until it was too late! Luiza came for a dash, one that would be easy to avoid normally for someone as quick and deft as Sophia Wolfe... but her back was to the ropes, and she was near the corner. She cursed herself mentally, realising she was in trouble all at once! Not one to leave the ring in a cowardly manner, there was little Sophia could do but take Luiza head on, hoping to try and grapple with her! It was her intent to try and flip Luiza... but she knew momentum and leverage was not on her side right now!

[The Riders]

Luiza knew that talking about the woman mother figure would be able to get her opponent off her game. Which is why she was able to slam into the other woman at full speed, since she had all the momentum and leverage on her side. But instead of going for a grapple, the older woman would duck low and wrap her arms around the younger woman mid-section and with a loud grunt of effort.

Would lift her opponent off the canvas before slamming her down to the mat with an MMA takedown like move, making sure that Sophia slams onto her side so that she can start to grind out a victory against this rude woman who has the nerve to place an infamous heel as a role model instead of someone like her.

'I got you now, and you have no chance of escaping this hold.' Luiza would start to taunt her opponent now. Seeing as she has her foe right where she wants her, before wrapping her thick toned thighs around the smaller woman waist and starts to squeeze with everything she has. Even wanting to add insult to the move, Luiza slides her arms around Sophia neck going for a combo sleeper hold lie body scissors to break her young opponent till she surrenders to the might of the white tiger.

[thesteedman]

It was all too little too late. Sophia's attempts to flip Luiza failed as the woman came at her much lower than she had anticipated. Sophia gasped out, as powerful arms wrapped around her, hoisting her upwards. The strength difference became clear as Luiza was able to turn Sophia away from the turnbuckle, before slamming her down much akin to an MMA takedown more towards the centre of the ring with a massive slam. The shock took the wind out of Sophia, allowing Luiza to move surprisingly swifly towards her next plan of action.

Luiza's powerful legs managed to wrap around Sophia's exposed core with a powerful bodyscissors hold. Sophia moaned out loud as the air was forced from her lungs in a near instant, feeling the crushing power of Luiza's legs around her slender midriff. Her bare abs strained to try and take the growing pressure, as she bit her lower lip hard to try and stifle a cry of pain. To make matters worse, the bodyscissors from Luiza's massive form was dangerous enough, but now she seeked to try and lock her in a sleeperhold to add... a dangerous combination.

Sophia was fortunately still active despite being slammed and squeezed, and through up her arms inbeween Luzia's before they could fully lock, looking to defend against the sleeper. This left her waist more exposed for crushing, but it was that or be choked out! Sophia knew she would potentially be bound like this in her defence attempt, and quickly looked to see if the ropes were close enough, wondering if she could throw her leg out to catch the bottom rope with her heel.

[The Riders]

Luiza would let out a growl of anger at the nerve of the young woman in her grip. The fact that someone like Sophia would almost worship the ground Thereisa walks on is a disgrace to wrestlers everywhere, since she is here now and would be a much better role model than the ex disgraced wrestler who dominated the early wrestling scene with an iron fist.

So she would just have to beat the respect into her younger opponent head before it is too late, as she would crank the pressure up on the body scissors hold since she studied watching the woman suffer from brutal holds that drove the air out of her body. But she was not able to lock in the sleeper hold as much as she wanted to... since if she would have it would have been a very short match with her coming out on top due to having more power and being on top, compared to Sophia who is trapped in her embraced and being squeezed with ease.

'Shame you would look up to someone like that... A disgrace of a wrestler as your role model. Have you no shame Sophia.' she would say. Before the ref rushes over to tell her to break the hold, due to the other woman reaching the bottom rope with her heel by the slimmest of margins,

[thesteedman]

Sophia shouted out in pain as Luiza squeezed her core hard with her powerful bodyscissors. Her bare stomach strained trying to endure the squeeze, feeling her massive legs really drive the air from her. The saving grace of it all was that Sophia was fortunately not far from the ropes after being taken down near the corner, and as such she managed to hook her heel onto the ropes despite an awkward stretch for it. The referee noticed it however and called for a rope break. When Luiza would release her from her crushing thighs, Sophia would get to her feet, arching her back a little with an expression of discomfort. She knew how strong Luiza was now, and knew not to underestimate her again...

With a stern look she took a fighting stance, looking towards the predator themed wrestler, waiting for her to rise even though she could have pressed against her to take her off guard. Sophia was known as an honourable fighter... apart from the one moment of desperation against Alcina, Sophia always fought fairly, refusing to cheat or even bend the rules. She had a code and she honoured it even if she was quietly becoming more angry with Luiza as she continued to disrespect Thereisa and herself.
"What would you know? You make all these assumptions, but do you really know the full story? Do you know anything about what Thereisa has been through? Do you even know anything about me?" Sophia questioned Luiza, keeping a close eye upon her, making sure she was ready before Wolfe would go on the attack.

"Thereisa and I are not alike in our methods, but I assure you our drive and our goals are very much the same. She was there for me when I was at my lowest point, and she was there for me when I had no one else when other wrestlers openly turned against me. If she is so bad as a role model... tell me this Luiza... where were you? I needed help... why was it only Thereisa who answered the call?" Sophia would explain, before her half closed eye widened, a split second before she sprang into action. Sophia went low, going for a strong sweep kick towards Luiza's legs, looking to take her down, before she flipped herself in an elegant and impressive manner, looking to toss over and throw a kick downwards as she landed towards Luiza's stomach!
