Finally, the time had come. Tania couldn't help but do a little shadowboxing while in the gorilla position. Things were changing at LAW when she first was signed, stuff that went over her head. Something about Apex challenges, another belt, and - the only thing that she understood, We Are LAW 5. A lot of cogs were in the works here, so the lass told management they could focus their energies getting that all planned out before she debuted. Never could spend too much time working out, watching action movies, and speaking with her girlfriend, Michelle, before her classes.

But the relaxation had to end. Especially when the feast day of the most famous Irish saint was approaching. As a proud lass of the emerald isles - even if she had left them years and years ago - Tania saw the perfect opportunity for a debut. She pitched the match idea to the brass and they passed it along.

And now here she was, her debut upon her with probably the most Irish themed match LAW had ever seen. With a nod from the stage hand and a bright smile on her face, Tania rand out onto the stage, throwing her fist up into the air and sparks flew into the air, as a favorite pub song of her's started playing.

The Irish Rover

Tania didn't waste time on more theatrics, running down the ramp and down to the ring, diving under the ropes before popping back up with another fist in the air. "Lads and lasses! Get ready for a grand ol' match! See if you can get more drunk then we're about to be, will ya?" With a little laugh in her voice, the lass stood back, stretching her arms across her as she awaited whoever her opponent would be.

[The Riders]

Luiza is just almost done at this point, seeing that she is being out into another wild random match against an opponent she has never heard of. And to top it off it is some type of drinking wrestling, which is something she always had a problem with since she has always been a bad drunk.

As her music plays making her way down to the ring as her plump backside goggles with every step she takes, she is having to hear the jeers and mocking tones from the fans who know that when Luiza wrestles... She is going to lose in the most humiliating ways possible.

Sliding into the ring, she grabs the mic and starts to speak while glaring at her opponent. 'I don't know what you and whatever this match are. But I will win and leave you beaten in the middle of this ring.' Luiza threatens Tania and tosses the mic aside ready for the bell to ring to start the match.

[GolemGuardian]

As her opponent came down an into the ring, Tania could feel the anger and displeasure from her. And that was when Luiza was still halfway down the ramp! Someone must've woken up on the wrong side of the bed and kissing the blarney stone, the lass figured. No one could be angry when they got to take part of a fun match like this, after all. Maybe a peace offering would help smooth things over?

As Luiza made her aggressive declaration, Tania leaned over the ropes to get the attention of the bartender at her corner. "Can I have two shots? Want to have a nice taste of the best whiskey in the world before we start slamming each other." The drink slinger nodded and poured two glasses for her and handed them up to her. "Bless your soul, kind sir~" With her smile plastered on, the ref called for both women to approach the center. When they did, she would attach a bracelet on one of their wrists, tying them together with a rubber rope.

Before she could call for the match to start, the Irish brawler would offer one of the glasses to her heavyweight opponent who towered over her. "Best o' luck to ye." Whether the tiger looking girl accepted or not, Tania would raise the opposite glass up. "Slainte!" She said, using the Irish term for 'cheers,' and downed her shot.

[The Riders]

Luiza can't believe what she is seeing right now. The nerve of this woman standing in front of her and demanding that one of the bartenders at ringside pour her a drink before the match even starts, her frown doesn't even leave her face after placing the bracelet on her own wrist tying herself together with Tania as the ref makes sure that the rope is snug and everything is in order.

Luiza would have slapped the drink right out of the other woman's hand but she wasn't fast enough for the Irish woman... so instead as soon as her opponent finished her drink, Luiza would raise her hand and slap the other woman in the face with her hand since she has to win by being able to out drinking the other woman get her first victory in the match. 'This is a stupid idea and when I beat your drunken ass... You will be nothing but a loser compared to me,' she says done with all the game playing and here to wrestle and win...as Luiza holds her hands up, ready to grapple with Tania.

[GolemGuardian]

Tania's only intentions were to be nice. She was raised that any negativity - well, negativity that didn't involve being a sole survivor and kids being mean - could be dispelled by a good shot between people. Especially if it was the one true whiskey, Irish whiskey. She thought maybe Luiza was just wound up or in one of those bad moods you just end up having, so naturally the Irish lass figured cutting the tension with a shared shot.

The last thing she expected was not only to have her kind off to the lighten the mood refused, but she was slapped to boot! The crowd that had shared in her merriment now gasped in surprise of its suddenness. Tania's head whipped to the side, a red hand print stinging on her cheek. She stayed still for several seconds, trying to comprehend how someone could be in such a bad mood as to refuse her kind offer.

Finally she'd turn her head back to meet the tigeress' spiteful gaze, her kind smile still plastered on her face. "Well, better not let this go to waste then~" With a shrug, she downed the second shit that was meant for her bigger opponent. "Ahh~ Gotta love the burn of Jameson's as it goes down ya throat." The lass handed the shot glasses to the ref, and said she was ready.

DING! DING! DING!

Tania would go to grab her opponents hands, aiming to turn her stance into a test of strength. Even if she were feeling a small buzz from her two shots, Tania would be able to stand her ground and push with all her might, smiling all the while as her muscles bulged with effort. "Show me what you got, Luiza-chan~"

[The Riders]

Luiza was not playing games anymore with the other woman in front of her. Even after slapping the woman across the face as hard as she could, the other woman just gave her a smile and took another shot of booze for good measure.

That right there broke confidence that she had as she put a lot behind in that slap and Tania shrugged it off like it didn't do nothing to her at all. As soon as the bell was rung, she strained trying to overpower her opponent using pure strength to push Tania backwards, but much to everyone shock... it is Luiza who is straining to even move the other woman as she is at a standstill with her smaller opponent.

[GolemGuardian]

Tania wasn't a cocky girl. She was confident in her strength and ability to lift, and she was certain she was good at wrestling. But those were because they were facts she had shown in an indie back in America, able to lift women equal or a little above her weight class. She had proved that to crowds many times, as well as herself with each win and loss.

So whatever 'cockiness' Luiza was getting from Tania, as she downed the shot that she had only been trying to be kind and help relax the tiger was, was her own imagination. Well, whatever the case of it was, the lass did not enjoy getting slapped at all. Her smile never left her face, keeping her happy go lucky air about her as the bell finally rung. The two locked up, the heavyweight putting her all in from the start while the Irish lass and her red cheeked self stood her ground, muscles buldging with effort but not fully exerting herself.

"You know that's how you tire yourself out quickly, right?" She had no idea how long Luiza had been wrestling for, but the lass had learned not to tire her arms out like this long ago. And she wasn't trying to make Luiza even more upset, she was just pointing out such a fundamental fact. "Too much effort, and you won't even be able to lift a glass later. Try using your legs and core to. Like so!" Suddenly Tania would start pushing back, tightening her core and walking forward in an attempt to push Luiza into a corner.

If she did so, Tania would then just simply back away after doing so. She just wanted to prove her point. The lass would hold off on the offense for the time being, hoping the tiger looking girl could try and put up a better show than her show of strength showed she could.

[The Riders]

Luiza is straining with an effort to push her opponent backward... Or to even make her stumble to no effect at all.

As she has to hear the woman talk about using the cores and muscles and such, stuff that she knows by heart as she is shoved backward with ease by the smaller woman before Luiza feels the corner turnbuckle against her back from being shoved back ease.

Steamed and she sees red at being shown up by someone who thinks is inferior to herself... Someone who is a former champion being shown up by a middleweight of all things, she would not let that stand at all... 'Shut up shut up...' Luiza screams and rushes out of the corner. Raising her arm up and throws it forward right at Tania head for a clothesline to send a message to her opponent.

[GolemGuardian]

Luiza may have been a steaming mess as Tania was easily taking control of things, but said naïve girl was just smiling happily. There was never a better way to get the blood pumping than a good fight. Plus a good drink always helped to motivate things. Why did people think the Irish were so associated with bar brawls, after all.

As the lass backed off, it seemed that her attempt to be helpful only stirred the pot more. If the tigress was a steam before now she seemed to be a rolling boil as she charged forward suddenly, knocking down Tania with a thud. "Sssff." Despite getting flattened down, that damned smile remained. Some might say it seemed creepy or Tania trying to play mind games with the heavy weight, but it was just the lass being naive and having fun. "That's the spirit!" She'd say as she kipped back up, eager to not let Luiza take control so early for her debut.

"OK, I promise I'm done talking. So let's get things rolling, Luiza!" The brunette lass charged the short distance between the two of them, wrapping her arms around the heavyweight's waist and pick her up momentarily before trying to slam her down into the ground with a spinebuster. She'd definitely need to do more to keep Luiza down, but it would at least be a good start if it went well enough. Yeah the tigress was a lot heavier than her, but as the test of strength had shown Tania was a pretty, though ditzy, powerhouse. Unless Luiza could counter or stop Tania, she'd be open for whatever the lass had planned next.

[The Riders]

Luiza put a lot of power into that clothesline, thinking that it would at least keep her opponent down for a while. Hoping to use that time to collect herself and regain some confidence that she could win this match up between herself and the drunk woman on the ground behind her, even shaking her arm which is starting to go numb from how hard she swung it at Tania head.

'Damn brat, making me lose control and getting on my nerves for saying that to me... who does she think she is? I'm a champion and she is nothing but a drunk,' Luiza would say. Her back still turned not knowing that her opponent was already up and on her feet eager to keep going even calling the older woman out again, which leads to Luiza turning around and walking right into a spine buster 'AAAHHHHH' that leaves her laying on the canvas clutching her back from the move.

Her feet kicking the mat as she rolls onto her side stunned after being taken down by her opponent who feels like she is more powerful than she is... and she the heavyweight for goodness sakes, as Luiza would glare at Tania before getting to her feet and holding her hands up to keep her opponent at a distance.
