A Mothers' Day Interview

[CaptainL]

It was on everyone's minds - Mothers' Day was on the horizon. With one of the deepest and most diverse rosters pro wrestling had to offer, it was only inevitable that LAW would count some more mature ladies among its ranks, and many of them had children of their own. With such an occasion coming up, it was only right to do something to celebrate those women. For this week's show, a backstage interview had been scheduled between LAW's perennial ring announcer, Misa Otomura, and one of its most popular mothers - Yuna Matou. Yuna had become an almost overnight hit since she arrived in LAW, and she was drawing more and more attention with every match she took part in. It was only natural that the people wondered what she had to say - and now that they had the perfect occasion, tonight, those questions would be answered.

Yuna was stationed at a wall emblazoned with the logos of several LAW sponsors, while Misa held a microphone to her mouth. Cameras and lights were trained on the two of them. There were plenty of fans waiting eagerly to hear Yuna's thoughts, and the production crew was here to capture them!

Yuna Matou

Misa Otomura

"I'd like to start off by extending a very warm thank you for agreeing to speak with us today, Yuna," Misa began.

Yuna nodded her head in response. "It's a pleasure."

"There's a lot I think we could go over, so let's get head right into it, shall we? You've been in LAW for some time now, but it seemed like you were fitting right into the swing of things from your very first match. For a woman your age, that's an accomplishment. What do you think of your rising popularity?"

At this, Yuna chuckled, flashing a grin to the camera. "What do I think? It's all that popularity and all that attention that keeps me in the business. If I didn't get such a warm reception, I don't think I'd have stuck around - it's a full-time job, wrestling, and it's no easy feat either. I've got kids to take care of at home, after all. But it's the reception I get that makes it all worth it. Before I came to wrestling, I had just come off a messy divorce, and I was struggling to find a job. I started thinking that I wouldn't be good enough for anyone, and if I would be washed up and past my prime - if there was any hope for me to fit in anywhere. But hearing that LAW felt I was good enough for them, that really made me feel I was still worth something. And when I've been getting the cheers I get - that just warms my heart. I don't mean to brag, here, but I think I get more cheers than women half my age some times. To be considered a sex symbol at 40, well...that's something I'm going to take pride in!"

Misa laughed as well. "Well, you wear your age beautifully, I'll tell you that. And you've stayed on top of the competition well, despite not being as youthful or as spry as some of your opponents. Can I ask you your secret?"

"To what, my looks or my success?" Yuna giggled at her own joke. "Because I can answer one of those questions. I've heard a lot of people saying my wrestling skills are remarkable for someone who got into the game late, and didn't have a lot of training. That isn't entirely true. I've always been a, shall we say, big-boned gal, and that comes with its advantages. Size and weight goes a long way in wrestling. There's a lot that goes into getting leverage on your opponents and overpowering them, and I'm not an easy person to move, so I've got that leg up. While I'm newer to wrestling, I did play on my high school's keijo team, and I think everyone can see that I'm well-equipped for it." She gave a teasing wink as she set a hand on her ample hip. "But that taught me a few things about how I can use what God gave me, and I haven't forgotten them. It's not all just luck, though. Even when I was in amateur apartment wrestling, I still kept up with my training and my workout routine. People who say it's just rolling around, pulling hair, and sitting on people's faces haven't tried it - you need good cardio to make sure you can keep the effort up, especially when you're on the older side. I knew that if I wanted to succeed, I had to put the effort in, and I liked what I was doing so much that I kept it up to stay competitive. Now that I'm in the big leagues, it's even more important I stay in shape."

"Yuna, you're one of a handful of wrestlers who have participated in both apartment wrestling and prostyle wrestling. Do they feel different at all, to you? Do you prefer one or the other?"

"There's always going to be some differences because of the style. When you're in the ring, you've got the ropes, and things can move faster because you can use their momentum. You also have an enclosed area you can go, so you don't need to worry about losing track of your opponent if you get ahead of yourself. The ring also has a little more padding than a carpet or mat, so people aren't as hesitant to use the more hard-hitting power moves. I'm not saying apartment wrestlers are soft, though. I've met plenty of tough girls in my time, and it's still a full-contact sport, bikinis or no. The moves still hurt. As for if I have any preferences? Well, there's one other big difference, and that's the atmosphere. Apartment wrestling is a more intimate affair. You've usually only got a few spectators if you have any at all, so it's just you and your opponent. With pro wrestling, you've got the lights, the crowds, the big arenas. There's people cheering. You know you've got a lot more attention on you. And that can put pressure on people to do well, but it also means that when you're doing well, and the people love you, you know it. For me, a big part of what keeps me in the business is knowing I have the support and the attention of all my fans, and when I have those lights shining down on me on the entrance ramp...they really make me feel like I mean something. I don't want to trade that for anything in the world. But the apartments are still where I got my start, and they still hold a special place in my heart. I'm not going to turn my back on them any time soon."

"That leads well into my next question, actually. We've been seeing LAW set up more apartment matches lately, and there have even been talks with the promoters at Apartment House Wrestling to co-promote matches. Do you have any thoughts about that?"

"Those are the big leagues of apartment wrestling. I know it's all relative, but I've never really been involved in that world. I was wrestling for a video producer, and while we still put on competitive, unscripted matches, we never planned on going to different cities, or having champions, or anything like that. But I think it's a great opportunity for a lot of the ladies to try something new, and maybe learn some things to help refine their craft. More opportunities in this business is never a bad thing. The fact that I can do more apartment matches here in LAW never hurts, of course - I like to think I can stay in the game. And maybe I might have to try something more...extravagant some time. Dave Moll, if you're listening..." She flashed a wink to the camera, tossing her hair back for good measure.

"Now, in circling back around to your popularity...how do you feel about the attention you've been getting? You placed number nine in LAW Magazine's ranking of wrestling moms. What's your thoughts there?"

Yuna nodded her head. "Ahh, right, I remember that one. It shouldn't be any surprise that I love all the good word, and the press certainly doesn't hurt. You know, if someone told me a few years back I'd be featured in a magazine article, I don't think I'd believe them. Even now, it feels a little wild to think about. But it's a sign of how far I've come, and I don't want to look back. I know I'm a bit further down the list than some people, but the fact I'm on there at all is crazy! I actually ended up higher on the list than I would've expected, too. Definitely would say it's a solid place. I'm not too familiar with everyone I ended up above - there was a smaller joshi, some blonde Greek, I actually managed to outdo Audrey Hunter, which was a nice surprise - but I would dare argue I could probably beat all of them! And maybe even some of the ladies above me, too, if I might be so bold to say!" With her rising confidence, Yuna stood a little taller. That list was compiled early on in my career, and I've only grown since - so I would argue if they put it together today, I just might be even higher!"

Misa's eyes widened at Yuna's challenge, but she nodded her head to her. "Well, there you have it! I think that should sum things up well enough, so unless anyone has anything to add, I'll be on my way..."

[ADarlingDucky]

On days like today, with so little going on in the way of wrestling, so many might think that there was very little to see or do within the halls of the LAW arena, but they couldn't have been more wrong! Persephone Kamenis was one such woman who knew not to assume that non-match days at LAW were boring, and as such, she was often residing in the building for any various number of reasons with today being no different! Still, she hadn't found much of anything of interest so far, and after some light training and stopping for a bite to eat, her search for something to fill her time with continued! And fortunately for her, she soon found exactly what she was looking for!

Persephone's head tilted as while strolling through the arena, she suddenly heard some voices from nearby, the greek woman unable to hear the words being said, but turning herself in that direction! She wasn't one to eavesdrop of course, but she might as well see who and what was going on, and so she began to make her way over, the voices growing louder and clearer as she walked in their direction! And finally, rounding a corner, she'd find two women standing in the backstage area of LAW, a microphone and camera, and an intriguing conversation!

Persephone would slide up close enough to observe the two women, and when she did, she found a woman she had heard much about, that being a fellow mother and heavyweight wrestler, Yuna Matou! Persephone had heard much about Yuna, the woman gaining massive amounts of popularity with every match she was in, very similar to Persephone in that regard, being interviewed on Mother's Day! Very fitting!

Persephone decided that with nothing better to do, she'd become a silent spectator, and join the two women off camera to listen in! Yuna was in the middle of talking about her start as an apartment wrestler, an interesting topic given that she'd gone from small apartments all the way to rings in large arenas! In a way, it reminded Persephone herself, as the smaller pools and mats covered in oil in Greece had never had the kind of giant fanbase that LAW had, and while she very much enjoyed it in LAW, she still had a soft spot for where she came from! But as the interview seemed to head towards it's conclusion, that was when the most interesting part of the interview occurred!

Persephone still remembered the list that Misa brought up, thinking back on it herself! She had been placed just below Yuna Matou as a matter of fact, an odd twist of fate that had caused her to become familiar with Yuna in the first place, and likely led to her willingness to sit and watch this interview today! And Yuna's response... well Yuna's response was what really caught Persephone's attention! The blonde heavyweight would raise an eyebrow as she was mentioned, Yuna even going as far as to boldly proclaim that she was confident in her ability to beat her! And that was what sowed the seeds for Persephone suddenly emerging from behind Yuna, and waiting until she got up close behind her to make her presence known!

"Oh my, oh my... 'Some blonde Greek?' I'm wounded Yuna, I really am..." Persephone said, one hand placed over her hefty chest, while the other was turned so the back of it rested on her head! She looked as if she were going to pass out, a teasing act as she got the brunette's attention! "I even remembered your name... after all, how could I not remember the woman who had beaten me by just one spot..." Persephone said once more, her dramatic act coming to something of a close as she suddenly looked down at Yuna, flashing her a wink!

"But actually Yuna, even now, I think we have so much in common... For example, you and I feel so very much the same! I also feel like today, I could defeat the women above me as well!" Persephone proclaimed with a smile on her face, the message in her words clear! Yuna occupied that very title, and so it seemed like her comments had drawn out the blonde and caused a confrontation, even one so teasing and playful, from the woman she had brought up in her interview!

[CaptainL]

With Misa looking ready to conclude the interview, Yuna had already opened her mouth to bid her a fond farewell, and to thank her for taking the time to make such an interview possible. But those words never got to leave her throat. Just then, one of the very same women Yuna had called out - Persephone Kameis herself - just so happened to barge in on the interview set! Yuna spun back around to face her with a gasp - she had no idea she would even be present in the building if they didn't need her to film this segment. The cameramen scattered, many of them getting out of the way of what everyone in the wrestling business knew could turn into a confrontation at any moment. But just as many of those cameramen were quick to focus in on Persephone. Not only was she an incredibly photogenic woman, even at her age, but if she was going to interject, it seemed like there was bound to be drama. And there was no better way to keep the fans invested!

When Persephone confronted Yuna, Misa quickly spun around to face her. She held her microphone out protectively in front of herself, but leaned back, just in case she would have to brace herself if things got more physical. Fortunately for her, it seemed that for now, the two heavyweights were content to trade taunts. And although Yuna had looked on at Persephone in shock a moment ago, now, when she heard the blonde make her challenge, she flashed her a confident grin - and her arms folded beneath her own hefty bosom as she took a step closer to narrow the distance between the two.

"Oh, yes, that's right..." Yuna mused aloud. Her eyes narrowed as she flashed Persephone a look - she could already feel the tingles running down her spine that told her she was bringing out the competitive spirit in her, and she was thrilled to see where it might go next. "You were the one who came out second-best. Persephone, is that right?" Yuna did remember Persephone by name, but she was willing to play dumb for now in the interests of baiting her into action. In Persephone, Yuna saw a woman who thought that she could beat her, and who was willing to do whatever she needed to to prove it. If she carried all that passion and commitment into the ring, then Yuna could see an entertaining match in their future!

In fact, Persephone seemed to feel the same way - it was then that she announced her challenge! To that, Yuna stood a little taller and straighter, as though trying to get Persephone to back down from her size and stature alone. She knew, of course, that doing so might well just embolden Persephone more. But if that happened, Yuna wasn't going to fight it - it would just make everything even better, if it kept tensions high! "Now, that's a daring statement! But...it's so fortunate that you were able to make it with the cameras rolling, isn't it?" Yuna glanced toward the cameramen with a flutter of her eyelashes. "This is going out to the public one way or another, so why don't we see about making things official? Give people the chance to get hyped up about it? You really think you can beat me...I want to see you prove it!"

Growing bolder, Yuna took a step closer to close in on Persephone, their chests bumping together as she leaned close to look her in the eye. "And if you're going to be so bold...the best way to put yourself to the test is to meet me in my element, where I do best. You and I, in an apartment match...what do you say? Still think you can handle it? If you can beat me there...I'm sure you can beat me anywhere~" The lilt in Yuna's voice and the wink of her eye seemed almost flirtatious. But it wasn't a date she was asking Persephone to, but a contest of strength and dominance! And it was one that Yuna wanted to see for the thrill of it alone!

[ADarlingDucky]

Once Persephone had entered the frame of the camera, several of the backstage workers seemed to tense up, with some outright looking to leave and hide, and while she found it highly amusing, it was not entirely strange! Backstage altercations and brawls were commonplace in almost every single wrestling promotion in the world, and that was not any different at LAW, but while it was a wrestling staple, Persephone had no intentions of starting a scuffle with Yuna Matou here and now! What was clear though, was that Persephone felt like she couldn't ignore an obvious mention of her name when she was right here, and so she'd step forwards and up to Yuna, her fellow MILF standing up straighter as if to intimidate Persephone through size alone!

But in spite of Yuna's height advantage on the blonde, Persephone looked quite comfortable walking right up to Yuna and standing in front of her, close enough that there was scarcely any room between them! And in spite of her teasing demeanor, Persephone's interruption and the nature of her showing up now, after Yuna had been talking, clearly showed that she was ready to confront Yuna over what she said! And Yuna was more than ready to re-affirm that, referring to Persephone as the one who 'came out second best,' a comment that, perhaps surprisingly, drew a laugh from Persephone!

"Ahaha! Oh my Yuna, don't be so silly! Surely you don't believe that even though we've never had a match, some silly list with an arbitrary ranking makes you better... right? I would hope not..." Persephone said, a raised eyebrow as if to imply that the mere thought from Yuna would be ridiculous and make her look wild, though that very list seemed to be causing this interaction right now!

Yuna was quite adept at playing to the cameras, Persephone noting how she took a glance at them before she would turn to address the blonde once more, and floated an interesting idea in front of the cameras, the crew, and everyone who would end up seeing this! And that was her challenge to the greek woman, proposing that Persephone come to Yuna's turf and take her on in an apartment match, something that was well within Yuna's comfort zone, as well as being something Persephone had never done before! All accompanied by Yuna closing the distance and pushing up against Persephone, their breasts smushing together! Persephone, knowing she was in uncharted territory in an apartment bout, knew that Yuna would be looking for any signs of intimidation and showed none at all, tilting her head with a wry smile as she pondered the invitation!

"Well, as much fun as it would be to show you the joys of oil wrestling, I suppose I can meet you in your own home! I don't want you to feel too intimidated against little old me, so it's okay if you pick the setting. Even if it is something so... vanilla." Persephone said, a cheeky smirk taking over her face, unable to help herself! It seemed that even now she felt content to tease Yuna with prodding remarks, looking to catch how her foe would react to such words and remarks about herself and apartment wrestling in general!

[CaptainL]

The camera crew had doubled back to take cover, watching as the tensions between Yuna and Persephone were heating up fast. With Persephone having shown up seemingly to challenge Yuna here and now, it seemed as though some confrontation between the two women was inevitable - knowing the competitive and daring personalities the two of them shared, Yuna definitely wouldn't be backing down so easily. At the same time, no one dared to take the cameras off the two heavyweights for even a moment. When it came to content, this exceeded all expectations. If anyone would tune in to see what Yuna's thoughts were on her career, where it had led her, and where it was going from now, they'd get far more drama than they had bargained for! All too often, the volatile personalities of the wrestling world would come out in full force when there was an opportunity for such a clash, and when it made for must-see TV, the promoters had little reason to dissuade it!

But even with Persephone making her challenge, Yuna didn't seem like she was ready to throw hands at a moment's notice. On the contrary, even as she leaned in closer to look the blonde in the eye, the smirk never fell from her face - she remained smug and cool-headed, at least on the surface. But a wise observer would note that she never let Persephone out of her gaze, and her eyes were trained unblinkingly on her foe. Yuna knew that just because no one was sparking a fight, it didn't mean it would be wise to let down her guard. At any moment, Persephone could make her move - and Yuna would be ready for it, whether it was a punch, a shove, or just an attempt to take control of the air between them. At the same time, Yuna was making no effort to talk Persephone down, or defuse the tension. Truthfully, she had no personal gripes with her would-be foe...but she was curious about what it might entail to take her on, and the way things were ramping up could only further whet her interest.

If Persephone might have thought that her pointing out the holes in Yuna's logic might get her to back down, though, she was sorely mistaken. The Japanese woman simply tossed back her head, her bosom jiggling from how hard her laughter rocked her body. "Dearest me, don't be so silly! Of course I don't believe that. But..." With a devilish smile on her face, she leaned closer, pushing her chest further against Persephone's; she even let her forehead rest against hers, hoping she could make the Greek feel cornered! "There's no reason we can't settle it in a more proper fashion...~"

Sure enough, Yuna would go on to propose Persephone take her on in apartment wrestling. Already, she knew Persephone would accept. She could tell the blonde was determined to settle things once and for all, and if it gave Yuna the chance to ply her skills against another curvaceous, well-experienced woman who would put them to the test, she could hardly say no. When Persephone did, Yuna grinned a little wider. But it wasn't without its own half-veiled threats and jabs. Even if Yuna was boxing her in, Persephone wasn't about to yield any ground. Yuna picked up on that all the same. If anything, it spoke to even more emotion and competition leading into this match - and Yuna was happy to encourage that, for her enjoyment as much as any viewer's. Not to mention...she had some ideas of her own.

"Vanilla, you say? My, my. I suppose when you're well versed in other matters, you'd think so...and I would be just as happy to meet you in your sort of match, if you would prefer." Yuna winked again to Persephone; she had definitely caught the implication that she was afraid to face the Greek woman in an oil match, and she would shoot down that thought just as quickly as it arose, just to deny Persephone the chance to feel superior. "But that's not the only thing we can do. If you would like an apartment match that's a little more interesting, I can oblige..."

Yuna's hips wiggled from side to side as she ground in closer, not only flaunting her prodigious rear but also making sure Persephone could feel her bosom against her own - another one of her assets that had granted her success when it came to smothers. And, as it turned out, something that played right into her proposal.

"I don't suppose you might be familiar with a little something called a smother harness? Until a week or two ago, I wasn't either...but I'll be the first to admit that my interest was piqued. Care to arrange a stipulation? The winner of the match shall be whoever can lock their opponent into the smother harness, and use it to its full purpose. I think that'll make it far more interesting for the two of us, won't it? Not to mention, for all our lucky viewers..." Yuna looked back over her shoulder at where the cameramen were still watching them, and she winked in their direction. The thought of one of the two gorgeous ladies trapping the other in a harness-assisted smother was enough to catch the attention of many a crewmember - and they knew full well that if Yuna so wanted, they would have front-row seats to ensure the world would see!

"Besides...I can hardly think of anything that would do a better job when it comes to demonstrating which of us would come out on top, than to have the loser in such a compromising position - don't you?"

[ADarlingDucky]

Persephone didn't have any personal gripes or grudges against Yuna. It was something that if said right now, in the middle of their conversation in front of the cameras, others might have called sarcasm, or said was something Persephone was saying to get under the other woman's skin! But truthfully, she really had no problems with the other MILF, even if Yuna had mentioned her in her interview as someone who was below her on a list, Persephone paying little mind to such things! What the blonde woman absolutely could not turn down, however, was the opportunity to stir up a little intrigue and drama within the fans of LAW, and it seemed like Yuna had given her the perfect opportunity, and she wouldn't be turning it down!

Yuna herself seemed to appreciate giving the LAW audience a show, and given how she continued to glance at the cameras as she spoke, Persephone could tell she likely fell into the same mindset as her! Whether or not she really held a grudge against Persephone for interrupting her interview was unknown to the Greek woman, but she would sort that out later! Instead, Persephone would find Yuna more than ready to close the distance and bump up against her, the oil wrestling master still quite content to throw out teasing remarks and jabs all the same!

Yuna laughed at Persephone's teasing remarks about Yuna's beliefs on the list and re-affirmed her wish to settle things in a more official match, something the blonde smiled and nodded in response to! However, it was Yuna's next comments, in response to Persephone's teasing of an apartment match being vanilla, that would really catch the blonde's attention!

Persephone noted Yuna's willingness to compete in an oil wrestling bout with her for later, but she still was interested in the prospect of the apartment match, and then Yuna went and brought up... the smother harness! Persephone already had knowledge of what a smother harness was, having never used one herself, but seeing it used in... certain media! The idea was infinitely interested to one such as her, who already had a habit of smothering foes in her matches, and as Yuna suggested the stipulation, Persephone couldn't help the smile that crossed her face, as her eyes lit up!

"Ah! Well Yuna, it seems that NOW you're speaking my language! How intriguing... and very humiliating!" Persephone's fingers traced her dainty chin as she thought on it, before looking back at the brunette with a smile! "Why, how could I say no to something like that? It would be a crime to deny the fans of LAW something so scandalous! I bet you'll look amazing in the harness as well..." Persephone said with a smile, and with that, it seemed like the stage would be set for their encounter, a meeting of two MILFs in a highly erotic showdown!

"Well then Yuna Matou, I'll leave it to you to sort out the details! It is your battleground after all! I'm looking forward to this... really looking forward to it!" Persephone said with a grin, before suddenly leaning just to the side of Yuna and planting a quick kiss on the brunette's cheek, before she could stop it! "Until next time dear, prepare yourself! I look forward to seeing just how compromised I can get you!" Persephone smiled, before turning and taking her leave, humming happily as she went! And just like that, she was scheduled for an intimate date with Yuna Matou!
