Maria C./Tina A. - Sizing Up

[Devilish53]

Maria sat up, springing up nearly courtesy of the momentum on her frame as she hit the canvas, with her hands reaching for the ropes she had just used to rise a moment ago to again begin pulling herself up. Her mind was beginning to run on autopilot, with her attitude shifting to match the one she held in official in-ring matches. Though the fact that Tina had this mentality from the offset only highlighted the differences between the taller Italian and she, as the former feared in the back of her mind that it might be a touch too late to turn things fully on Tina's head...

Though damn if she didn't try, as she pulled herself standing before shuffling to the corner nearest Tina. With a quick hop as her figure turned mid-jump, she'd see about sitting her rear upon the turnbuckle post for a second as her feet pressed to the bottom ropes. Using them to spring off of, Tina would find Maria closing the distance with her legs raised high - as the Italian returned to her once again, this time with an elevated leg drop. One aimed square at her torso, to have her massive legs squish the air out of Tina!

Tina was down and in bad shape with Maria moving quickly.... too quickly! Tina tried to roll at the last second but the big power thigh leg drop smashed her and left her mouth agape as she kicked her legs meekly about! She coughed and wheezed out something of a cry of pain but the tigress was again really on the back foot as Maria was back to hammering her with hard hitting moves that Tina was struggling to recover from including this. Things were looking bad for Tina...

[Devilish53]

Maria felt this encounter could end at any moment - but it could also be practically no further at the halfway point. Both women had shown the ability to force control their way at the drop of a dime, with tenacity and bursts of adrenaline turning what should of been short moments into extended ones. Maria felt she couldn't keep up with this game - eventually, she'd fall short of being able to turn the match back in her favor, meaning Tina would just naturally steamroll her until she could simply take no more.

Hence, she had no choice but to try and end it here and now!

Clambering up to her feet in a clumsy manner, the Italian would be as far as she could from Tina whilst still being in the ring. Poised like a tiger ready to strike, the Italian was standing with her best foot forward and her hands somewhat to her sides. Gearing herself up, she'd look to bring her foot square to the head of Tina the moment the former champion was upright, to bring about her signature move! A rather simple yet effective superkick, brought about courtesy of Maria's massive legs!

[Highfly]

Tina was hurting and desperate. She staggered up and saw Maria rushing in. Tina wasn't sure what Maria was going to try to do but she knew she didn't want to be the spot she was in at the moment. As Maria moved in Tina lunged to the side as quickly as she could in her state. She moved to the side and just barely dodged the super kick which she felt would have easily left her knocked out. The tigress swing a fist upward aiming to try to hammer Maria's jaw with an uppercut to retaliate, hoping that her aim was true.

[Devilish53]

Aimed with poise and grace, Maria was all set to near literally kick the head off of Tina! Raising that leg up high with momentum and strength absolutely packed behind it, Maria's kick would be off the mark but by no fault of her own!

With Tina swinging her frame out of the way, Maria's best course of action was to pivot on her raised foot to snap around her other leg and strike Tina with the rebound!

Only to never be given chance!

Instead, she'd be caught with a clean shot to her jaw that would serve to knock her frame off her feet - a motion that was hardly a surprise, given how much speed she had used to charge into Tina!

Only now said speed was on her frame as she was flung through the air, with her arms and legs flailing until she hit the canvas with a thud!

[Highfly]

Tina knew that to some extent she had gotten lucky. Pure luck. If that kick connected she would have just outright been knocked out. Her counter landed and the hobbled tigress had a chance to try something. She pulled Maria up and stood behind her trying to lock in a full nelson hold. Tina grit her teeth knowing if she could secure this for just a few seconds she had something planned.....

Tina tried to bend her knees and lift up powering her way into a dragon suplex to send Maria crashing to the mat! She would keeper back bridged and put Maria in a pinning position immediately upon impact. Tina gasped for breath wheezing out a pin count as she struggled.

"One..."

[Devilish53]

The sense was well and truly smashed from Tina courtesy of that sudden strike - one that had sent her into the sky in an almost majestic fashion, as if Maria was diving from the high board for a pristine score. Naturally more peril was to follow as Tina came to her once again, seemingly looking to put a full stop in the sentence that was Maria's dominance thus far.

Forced up with her legs bucking out beneath her, Tina would be forced to showcase her strength as she wrapped around Maria. Briefly working those thick arms and that neck of hers in a full nelson hold, Maria wouldn't even be given chance to get her feet beneath her before she was forced off them.

Brought up and back with Tina bridging all the way, Maria spiked the canvas with her legs rolling up and over her! Worsening her position and then some, given that her entire body was now angled in Tina's favor!

All she could do was breath deep and low as the second count was made, before all at once she thrust as much power as she could into her shoulders. To shake from Tina's grip and burst out of this awkward hold!

[Highfly]

Tina felt Maria break free emphatically from the pain sending Tina rolling to the side. The tigress shook her head and staggered up. She knew Maria would be rising as well and Tina had an idea to try to keep things going in her favor. She would move in and grab Maria by the arm trying to whip her towards the corner as hard as she could. Tina had to be quick herself, be accurate and hard hitting. She had to be perfect to make progress. Tina would give chase and as Maria hit the turnbuckle Tina would already be flying in lowering her shoulder and looking to bury it into Maria's abdomen as she ran using herself like a battering ram! At least such was the plan....

[Devilish53]

Maria had saved herself in this encounter but she had hardly reversed the pin into a move that favored. Nay, Maria's escape was as simple as could be, with Tina given space to rise of her own accord, free of any sort of follow-up from Maria. With the former middleweight champion given space to launch the follow-up she herself wanted, with her shoulder aimed square at Maria's abs!

Rising at the wrong time, Maria's midriff would be mashed into courtesy of Tina's powerful thrust! She'd be knocked from already shaking legs, her figure stumbling back into the corner behind her!

With Tina undoubtedly following suite, to make sure the tall Italian wouldn't be given even a moment!

[Highfly]

Tina hammered Maria and she was going to try to move to the next phase of her attack. Tina grabbed Maria and grunted, lifting her up and putting her in a seated position up on the top rope. Tina climbed up standing in front of Maria. She had to go big even if there was a chance things could horribly wrong. The tigress wanted to snap her legs around Maria's head and lean back looking to deliver a big top rope hurricanrana to the newcomer.... at least that was her hope provided nothing went wrong.
