Ryu Hiroshi vs Valley Doll III (Part 2)- Beyond Total Victory

[Teenwrestler]

The one thing that Ryu really did not in this match was pity. He hoped that the reason why he was on top of his opponent was because of his wrestling ability and tactics, not because Valerie was looking to show him too much respect and perhaps taking it easy on her. To counter that, he would start strong and really keep pinning her, he knew that would annoy her and if she was holding back because of whatever reason, it would not last long if he kept up like that. Still going in strong, Ryu would pull Valerie up in a full nelson and before slamming her to the mats, or at least attempting to, he would offer her a piece of advice.

It seemed that was enough for Valley to regain her focus. She showed impressive agility and would do full rotation in the air to escape from being slammed to the ring canvas and instead did a slightly graceful fall to her ass with her legs splayed out. With Ryu still arching back, she would grab his shoulders and force him down to the mats and went for a quick pin. Just like her though, it only took a count of "1" for him to quickly kick out by bringing his shoulders up.

He quickly rolled over and got up to his knees, looking to catch her head and trap it in a tight headlock while forcing her up to her knees as well. "Did you really think that would work? COME ON! Where's the Valerie who beat me last time huh?" he said as he looked to drag the two up to their feet while still squeezing her in the side headlock.

Yes, Valerie had thought that would work. That was why she did it, after all. She’d always been trained to go for pins as often as possible, wanting to maximize every opportunity, and this was part of it. With a time limit to worry about, she needed an early lead, something she could build on for the rest of the match. That was the idea.

Shame, then, that it didn’t quite work out that way. He broke out at one and once again showed he was on his A-game, as he immediately swooped in to take her head with a strong hold, clenching the headlock and keeping her under control.

Valerie couldn't hear him that well, his body was blocking her ears, but she cared little for the tone of whatever he was saying. Grunting, she pushed her way up, one foot then the other, until she was crouched with his grip still on her head. She pulled him in close, dipped down, then lifted him up and brought his body crashing down at the end of the arc, looking to spike him with a backdrop suplex, right on his shoulders.

It was perfectly fine tactic, to wear down an opponent and gradually tire them with constant pin but the Dragon didn't appreciate that. He thought it was disrespectful, that all it would take was a few moves to take him down for a three count. Of course, he didnt think of that when he did the same thing to her but it was a difference of dynamics here, whereas he was the veteran pro and she was the young wrestler who had all the potential in the world to be the break out star and a future champion.

Right after kicking out and showing some passion that it was going to take alot more than that to take him down, Ryu would quickly catch her in a headlock while the two were both trying to get up on their feet. Ryu was being too aggressive, he was desperate for the first point and perhaps Valley sensed that? The Dragon was treating this marathon of a wrestling match for a sprint, which clouded his judgment on what the strategy should be. Without responding, Valley would pull him close while still trapped in the submission to grab his waist and lift him up off his feet, she arched her back and dropped him down to the mat in a backdrop suplex.

"Guuugh!" he cried out, forced to release her as he rolled over onto his side and clutched his shoulder, feeling the stiffness in them due to the impact. "Damnit...." he cursed under his breath as he slapped the ring canvas hard, showing his frustrations as he tried to get back up to his feet.

[BlackAkuma]

God, that felt good. It might have seemed like a simple thing to the naked eye, just a momentary changing of momentum, but it was a breath of fresh air that Valerie had direly needed. Ryu was applying hard pressure from the opening bell, and while she didn’t think she was in trouble just yet, she knew she would be if she didn’t put a stop to it straight away. The tables needed to turn, and so that had.

Could she keep them that way? Well…

She was going to make her best effort of it, and that start with focusing on Ryu - or, more specifically, focusing on him and that aching shoulder. She pushed up to her feet and moved in to grab his arm before he had the chance to rise. She spun around and put him in an arm wringer, twisting him arm and putting pressure on his shoulder, which she used to control him as she forced him back up to his feet.

[Teenwrestler]

Frustrations had already started to creep in and it was quite evident from the veteran wrestler's body language and expression. He got dropped down with a simple backdrop, with his upper back and shoulder taking the brunt of the impact. Hissing in pain and angrily slapping the mats, he would start to get back up on his feet while Valley was already planning her next line of attack. She would quickly get behind him and trapped him in a arm wringer submission, twisting his arm to put pressure on his shoulder. He groaned in pain while she forced him back up to a standing position as he twisted at the hip to swirl around and try to find a way to escape.

After a moment of being trapped in the submission, he attempted to slowly turn his body to one side before suddenly going swinging on the opposite side and using his free arm to swing back and attempt to catch the side of her head with his elbow to hopefully catch her off guard and stun her with that fierce elbow strike!
