Trying To Break The Streak: Sakura Hagiwara vs Jasper Rhys

[Bare]

Standard Match: Winner to be declared by pinfall, submission, or knockout

Sakura took a deep breath in preparation for the bout ahead of her. Being on a bit of a losing streak lately she was determined to end that rut, and in a massive way since she was slated to take on someone by the name of Jasper Rhys, a relative newcomer in the mixed division but was so far undefeated. An impressive feat all things considered which would only make it more impressive if Sakura could hand him his first loss.

Finishing her stretching and preparations Sakura would nod to herself as she got herself ready for the match ahead. Coming out from the dressing room and walking towards guerilla position where she would take a breath and wait before getting her que, Sakura's entrance music starting up and causing the crowd to cheer out loudly as the idol came out!

Smiling as the crowd continued to cheer her on Sakura would come down the ramp, high fiving fans and posing with some as she made her way to the ring. Hopping up on the apron and climbing between the ropes Sakura would pose once again for the fans, showing off her outfit and body in the process. Finishing up with her entrance Sakura would head to her corner and lean against it, waiting for her opponent to come out.

Another day, Another match.

The young Welshman was having a ball of a time in his return to LAW, Kicking arse and taking names and rebuilding his reputation in the LAW Arena with a few good wins now under his belt, and now was readying to add yet another win to his belt in a match up against a pretty well known competitor in the wrestling scene, An Idol girl turned grappler who'd been making the rounds on LAW for a while and Jasper did know a thing or two about wrestling against Idols... So he was confident of a win here.

Sakura didn't need to wait for long as she heard the opening notes to the young wrestler's entrance song... That energetic J-Rock tune always got a pop out of the crowd as they awaited the young wrestler's appearance...

Jasper's Entrance Song: Stand Up To The Victory!

And as the iconic lyrical hook of the song played... Jasper came running out of the Guerilla position, arms outstretched for Hi-Fives a-plenty for all the fans as he ran towards the ring with a look of pure excitement on his face, the young wrestler energetically climbing into the ring and almost cartwheeling himself into the ring as he stopped on the ring apron however and gripping the top-rope as he swung himself over the ring ropes feet first before and landing on said feet impressively and dusting himself off... This boy was certainly... Energetic.

Jasper Rhys, Sortie Out!

The young wrestler, with his hazel eyes and blue hair and two-piece attire, stepped forward and offered Sakura a warm smile as he extended his arm out for a polite handshake. "Shwmae!, Or Hello there as they say in Wales." Jasper said introducing himself in a friendly tone, eager to make a good impression on his opponent, tilting his head curiously to the left slightly as he waited to see if she'd reciprocate his friendliness.

Soon enough the music of her opponent would start up and Jasper would come out from the back, smiling proudly and excitedly for the crowd, playing up to them and having fun shaking hands with them as he did so. It was honestly refreshing to see someone interact with the fans in such an unabashed way and it reminded Sakura a bit of her old Berserk stable mate Moe Fukuoka. In fact based on what she heard they even had somewhat similar fighting styles as well, so she was both looking forward to this, and feeling more confident about it as well if this match could go like the one she had with Moe.

Once inside the ring to meet her Sakura would smile, closing the distance while reaching out to grab hold of his hand and give it a firm shake. "Konnichiwa, or as we say in Japan hello as well." Sakura said jokingly in response to him with a small giggle before putting her fists up and bouncing on her heels a bit. "I look forward to having this match and hope it can be good for both of us... Though I plan on winning." Sakura said with a friendly tone, but a confident look showing her determination to win this bout.

"Well, I'm sorry for raining on your parade, luv, but I'm gonna be the last one standing in this ring tonight." The Welsh boy said with crossed arms and a playful smirk on his face as he took a step back from the middle of the ring and rolled his shoulders as the Bell rang over the two mismatched wrestlers, signalling the start of the match!

PING-PING-PING!!!

And Jasper was already bouncing between his feet in a grappling stance, smirking at Sakura as he gestured her with his hand to "Bring it on." so as it were to say, with the Welsh boy deciding to see what his opponent had in store for him, eager to dismantle her plans and turn her moves against her~

With introductions completed and both Sakura and Jasper having acknowledged the other and made their opening challenges. It wouldn't be and Sakura knew this but she wasn't about to back down to the Welsh Boy. So when given the come at me gesture by the blue haired boy Sakura would nod and dash forward, arms up as if to lock up with him. Only momentarily however as she looked to get her arms past Jasper's own, to grab hold of his head and pull him down while turning sharply and curling her arms around his head to pull him in and secure the lad in a side headlock!
