Belinda Northman vs The Mighty Yukiko - Apex Qualifier Match

[Teenwrestler]

The referee would only get to the count of "TWO" before Belinda managed to break out of the pinfall by raising her arm up high in the air to get her shoulders off the mat and twist her body to the side to break the pin. Yukiko wasn't surprised, an opponent who was as tough as Belinda was not going to go down that easily. However, Yukiko was not done either and had some tricks of her own. The Ace would reach down to grab her opponent's shoulders and pull her up, getting her up face to face before striking a forearm into the chest of the blonde to make sure she would remain stunned for her next move.

The Pinkette would then attempt to get behind her opponent and hook her arm under Belinda's armpit, and leaned back to stretch the blonde to one side in an abdominal stretch. The Mighty Yukiko was panting heavily, with sweat glistening off her skin but despite that she had a bright smile on her face with full of excitement having wrestling such an impressive opponent.

"Hah...you're pretty good! But...I am better!" she would wink.

[Devastated]

Belinda felt a bit groggy after that DDT, but she had managed to break the pinfall! That was only step one of though. The next step was to find a way to claw her way back into being in control of this match. Right now though it looked as if Yukiko wasn't done with her. She felt the pink-haired ace start to guide her up towards her feet by her shoulders, once she reached her feet Yukiko decided to send a forearm strike right into her chest. " Guh!" Belinda grunted out, as she was kept docile for the moment, her arms went up to shield her bosom for further attacks. Though it seemed as if Yukiko had other plans than to keep pounding away, instead the Mighty one slipped in behind her, and began to hook her up.

Looking her into a painful abdominal stretch submission hold! The blonde quickly grit her teeth, wincing out in pain as she felt her well trained abdominal muscles being stretched out. Her core getting worked over in this debilitating submission hold. The crowd would cheer out at the sight of Belinda being locked up like this, meanwhile the blonde struggled and shifted what little she could in Yukiko's grip.

Though the teasing taunt from Yukiko, only served to spur a higher will to fight out of this from Belinda. Sure she was trapped, but she wasn't about to let Yukiko get away with those words! Shaking her head a little, Belinda would try and brute force her way out of it, working on willpower alone, as she tried to force her trapped arm up around Yukiko's head, then try and straighten out before she'd try and throw the pink-haired fighter over her hip with a hiptoss!

The match was turning out to be an instant classic, both wrestlers were technically quite gifted but Yukiko had taken control of the match and was now in firm control of the situation. With the blonde dazed from the DDT, it was an easy task for the Pinkette to pull Belinda back up to her feet and subdue her in the abdominal stretch submission hold. Yukiko had a bright smile on her face, despite the effort she was putting in to keep Belinda trapped in the submission. Yukiko was excited at being able to face an opponent such as Belinda who was able to push her to the limit.

Panting heavily, the Wrestle Angel Ace's body was glistening in sweat as she shook her head to get some stray stands of hair away from her face. Her muscles were bulging in the effort and the referee asked the blonde if she wanted to give up. However, the Belinda was not going to let Yukiko get away with those words that easy and with great effort, manage to wrap her arm around Yukiko's head before using her grip to toss Yukiko over the blonde's hip and down onto her back.

"Owwww! D-damn....you got me" she moaned, clutching her lower back in pain while sitting on her butt.

[Devastated]

It was quite a struggle but the blonde managed to firmly wrap her arm around Yukiko's head, then with a swift heave forward she twisted her hips and throw the Mighty one down! Throwing her off with a Hip Toss and nailing her right down onto the canvas. Belinda backed up a step, straightened out and huffed out heavily. She shook her head and then tried to get air back into her lungs.

This had been quite an intense match already and she was sure that it wasn't going to get any easier, but she also knew that she had to grab a hold of the momentum of the match now that she had been able to break free from Yukiko's grip and put a stop to her momentum!

She would move fast! Running past Yukiko and bouncing off of the ropes, as she would come running right back at the seated pinkette. Trying to come in and go for a basement dropkick! Looking to slam her boost right into Yukiko's chest!

[Teenwrestler]

Yukiko's submission move was countered expertly by Belinda, who transitioned the abdominal stretch submission into her favour by twisting and turning around before tossing Yukiko over her hip and down onto hers in a standard hiptoss to escape. Now, the Pinkette was down on the mat on her ass, clutching her hip while trying to recover and get back up to her feet. However, it took a moment for the Mighty one to get her bearings back together which allowed Belinda to capitalize.

The blonde would run past the downed woman and bounce off the ropes, rushing back towards her and drop down low to where Yukiko was to drive her boots into the Pinkette's chest for a low dropkick. Yukiko moaned out in pain and clutched her chest while completely being downed on her back now, slowly moving over towards her side while still clutching her chest.

"Owww" she said, gritting her teeth in pain while trying to get back up onto all fours.

[Devastated]

Belinda charged right at Yukiko after she had rebounded off the ropes, coming in towards the pink-haired fighter at full speed! She jumped up and drove her boots straight into that chest of the Mighty one! Dropping her onto her back! From there Belinda was quick to move up towards her feet, she would pump her arm in the air, in a sign that she was happy with her current efforts, that she had managed to deal a decent blow to Mighty Yukiko...and the cheers from the crowd were only serving to spur her on.

She would move down and try and grab a hold of one of Yukiko's arms, trying to guide her up towards her feet! There Belinda would try and throw a forearm strike to the pink-haired ace's face and then suddenly spin around and try to nail her in the other cheek with a spinning backfist! Hoping it would knock Yukiko a bit loopy and leave her dazed on her feet.

The blonde would then try and turn Yukiko around, trying to face her back and lean down, before she'd try and pull Yukiko's body up across her shoulders! Belinda would try and drape Yukiko's body up on top of her shoulders, clasping onto her chin with one hand and her thigh with her other hand. Belinda would rise up to a full stand and then try and bend Yukiko's body over her shoulders in a torture rack submission hold!

[Teenwrestler]

The dropkick left the former Angel to go down on all fours, sweat dripping off her forehead onto the mat but she had a smirk on her face at all times. The competition was thrilling to her and she was having a great time in the ring facing off against an opponent tough as Belinda. The Ace would then be pulled up to her feet when the blonde grabbed her arm and yanked her up, delivering a quick forearm strike to her chest to keep her stunned. Yukiko would stagger back from the strike, trying to raise her arms up in a defensive position but she was unable to do so in time and Belinda landed a stiff backhanded spinning strike to her face!

Spittle flew off the Mighty One's mouth as her head turned to the side and she was left stunned, allowing Belinda to pull Yukiko's body up across her shoulders, clasping her chin and thigh as she would begin to bend Yukiko's body inwards towards her shoulder for a torture rack submission. "Guuuuuuughhh!!!!" Yukiko howled in agony, her body squirming on top of Belinda's shoulder as she tried to struggle for an escape.

She gritted her teeth, shaking her head in defiance. Her back was in a lot of pain but the Blazing Warrior's resolve was not so weak that she would give up just yet, she began to wind her arm and attempt to clock an elbow strike to the side of Belinda's head while also trying to use her legs to kick them in the air wildly to try and somehow make her opponent let go.

[Devastated]

Having taken the wind out of Mighty Yukiko's sails. Belinda was quick to try and claim full advantage of this match, as she reached down and pulled Yukiko up...only to strike her with a quick forearm, only to soften her up enough to go for that spinning backfist! Her attempts to knock Yukiko loopy seemed to have worked perfectly as she watched her stumble on her feet in a daze!

The blonde then pulled Yukiko up onto her shoulders and locked in a nasty torture rack on her foe! Bending the Angels body across her shoulders and forcing her to experience quite a painful power submission! The blonde gnashed her teeth a bit as she held the weight of the former Wrestle Angel up in the air!

The pink-haired fighter squirmed and struggled on her shoulders, but the blonde remained steadfast and kept bending Yukiko's body. Though when suddenly the Blazing Warrior summoned her indomitable fighting spirit, she swung her elbow and smacked Belinda square in the head, ramming her elbow into Belinda's cheek as she kicked and struggled something fierce. The elbow had done enough to knock Belinda's sense of presence loose so the wild struggling was not something she was able to keep up with! She was completely lost her grip of Yukiko's body as the pinkette would slip out of her grip!

[Teenwrestler]

The Pinkette was not in a good position at all, Belinda had had draped over her shoulder for a painful torture rack submission. Sweat dripped off her body onto the ring mats while Yukiko squirmed against her rival, kicking her feet in the air while shaking her head to let the referee know that she was not going to submit. Though the move was painful, she was not ready to give up and it was going to take a lot more than that to break her spirit. She was surprised that Belinda managed to pull that move off so early in the match but Yukiko was that much determined to escape it.

Eventually, an elbow struck the blonde's cheek and that was enough for her to get dazed, the Pinkette would the repeat her strategy until she would finally slide off Belinda back, facing it instead. Yukiko would jump up, pressing her knee against Belinda's back while grabbing her chin before letting gravity do its thing and she fell back but not before taking Belinda down with her, smacking her back against her knee for a backstabber.

If that worked, she would fall down and Belinda would flop to her front, and Yukiko would flip her back over to her back and go for a pinfall attempt.

"One...."

[Devastated]

The elbow strikes coupled with that violent struggling on top of her shoulders really didn't work well for Belinda! As her grip on Mighty Yukiko completely slipped, she lost her hold on that chin first and then the thigh of the pinkette! Slightly dazed from the elbow as she wobbled on her feet, trying to catch a proper footing...all the while Yukiko slipped off of her shoulder and behind her!

Belinda felt the hands of Yukiko grab at her chin, she gasped out as she then felt herself be jerked back and was taken off of her feet! Brought down towards the canvas, or so she thought! Instead she was stabbed right in the back by Yukiko's knees! They dug sharply into her back and caused the blonde to release a soundless gasp of pain!

She flopped off Yukiko's body and down onto her front, groaning out in pain...before Yukiko rolled her over and draped her body over the blonde's. The referee moved in next to them and started the pin count!

"Two!..."

After the two count, the blonde would force her body to buck! Breaking the pin count right before it managed to get to a three!
