"The Smiling Demon" Dana Ashford vs "Super Kitty" Kat Hart - All or Nothing

[winner3]

The wry, sadistic grin plastered across Dana's face truly heralded a return to form for the Smiling Demon. She radiated with the intimidating aura of a woman with all the power and killer instinct of Dana in her prime along with all the experience and in-ring IQ of the veteran wrestler - the Malicious Matriarch that fans and wrestlers alike knew her to be today!

The Smiling Demon walked over to the downed Super Kitty. She continued to grin as she took in the sight of her handiwork. But seeing that Kat still had life in her, seeing her reach for her championship belt, drew a response from Ashford that was second nature to the curvy sadist!

"Ngh!!!" Kat hissed when Dana stepped on her outstretched hand, denying the luchadora a chance to grab her belt, and crushing her gloved hand underfoot in the center of the ring!

The crowd was absolutely livid. Their jeers and boos and expletives only grew louder as Ashford brazenly basked in the heat as tempers and temperatures flared up all over the arena! Dana reveled in a level of heat that most heels would spend their entire careers chasing after!

When Dana finally stepped off of Kat's hand to circle her like a predator would circle prey, the luchadora pulled her hand towards her chest to nurse it. The tag team champion was still winded and worn out. She took heavy, labored breaths. Her chest heaved with each inhale. Her brief recess here would be interrupted by her heavyweight rival kneeling down onto the small of her back, subjecting her to even more pain and torment! Dana began to really into it, placing immense pressure on Kat, causing The Super Kitty to kick the mat repeatedly as she writhed!

"Nghgh....aaarrgh!" Heavy grunts of anguish slipped through Hart's clenched teeth as she suffered underneath Dana!

The cruel irony of the situation began to set in. It was just as Dana said. Kat had spent the entire buildup to the match and the first half of this match itself pushing Dana to ascend to new heights that no one has seen before! Perhaps to new heights that Ashford didn't even know she had! But now that Dana was born anew in the ring, she was directing all that fire, that vitriol, and that sadism towards The Super Kitty in full!

"NNNNN!" Kat's lips came together to try and stifle a loud cry! Just as Dana commanded, Kat Hart was on the verge of screaming her lungs out with all the pain and suffering that Ashford was inflicting upon her!

Kat was a legendary wrestler in her own right. She knew precisely what her rival was looking for here. She knew that Dana wanted to make her suffer in front of the biggest crowd possible! On the biggest stage possible in a LAW Apex match! Dana had been systematically dashing the hopes and fight out of not just Kat, but the thousands upon thousands who were in the arena watching her get dismantled, and the millions watching at home, hoping and praying that The Super Kitty would live up to her namesake and find a way to endure and turn the tides! Kat knew that Dana wanted to relish in the presence of a deflated, disappointed audience. She knew Dana would relish in glee from her screams! And Kat wouldn't give that to her!

The Super Kitty bit deep into her own arm sleeve! All to stifle her own screams of pain! She kicked the mat more furiously as Dana drove her knee deep into her back! A little bit of stifled moaning could be heard as she suffered, but nothing on par with what she knew Dana wanted from her! Kat shook her head from side to side as if to answer Dana! Those delicious screams she wanted, the hopelessness that The Smiling Demon wanted to usher in- she wouldn't get it as long as Kat Hart had anything to say about it!

Pressing her knee against the Super Kitty's back, Dana still retained her wicked grin, even licking her own lips as she savored the sounds that her opponent was making. Still, she could feel that Katherine was still holding herself back from screaming her heart out. That won't do, Dana thought to herself. The luchadora had gone out of her way igniting the flame within the mature woman, so at the very least she should be burned from it.

"Now, now..." Dana purred in her usual maternal voice, but it was obviously laced with malice. "Like I said, have the courtesy to be crushed under my heel." Dana decided to change her tactics as she got her knee off her back before she grabbed the masked wrestler by her head so that she could pull her up. "Let me teach you something, from a veteran to her lovely junior..."

Dana would get Katherine into a seated position as she placed herself behind her. Her hand went to the luchadora's chin, cupping it, making her look at the audience watching the dismantling. "Look at them. They are cheering for you. Wanting you to come back from this. They do have this belief that heroes will always win in the end. Sure, I can acknowledge that. Nobody likes downer endings."

Then, with a wicked grin on her face, Dana wrapped her arm around Katherine's neck, subjecting her to a sleeper hold. "But this is not that kind of story. Here, I'll be dictating how the story goes for you..." She would begin squeezing her neck, constricting her airway and blood flow. "And I dictate that you will lose. You will be destroyed, and there is nothing you can do about it." The boos and jeers filled the arena, and as always, Dana basked in them.

Kat did everything she could to rekindle Dana's fighting spirit and draw out of the mature woman a wrestler with all the vitality and strength of a younger Dana, along with all of the veteran experience and know-how of the Malicious Matriarch that was feared and loved in the world over in the modern day! And for pushing Dana to this point, the strong, curvaceous blonde thought there was no better way to celebrate her newfound drive and strength than by utterly destroying The Super Kitty in the ring on the grandest stage she could!

"pant....pant....." When Ashford changed positions and pulled the luchadora up by her head, Kat could only let out a few pained exhales while the bigger blonde effortlessly forced her into a seated position for something of a "motherly" lecture.

Katherine sat there in a daze while Dana cupped her chin and forced her to look upon the legions of dismayed and distressed fans. Torrents of people from the front row all the way to the nosebleed seats high up in the back screamed, pleaded, and cheered for Kat to do what she always did: hang in there and find a way to turn the tables! To snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! Kat had started this match off hot! She had a tremendous comeback against Dana and The Ashford Family the last time they shared a ring together! This version of Dana was undoubtedly an unstoppable force! Yet the people knew that if any one wrestler could defeat The Malicious Matriarch now that she was fighting even better than she had in her prime, it had to be the legendary luchadora, Kat Hart!

Yet, Dana continued to apply pressure! She wrapped her powerful arm over the tag team champion's neck! Kat had already been dazed, but now Ashford was sapping whatever little strength The Super Kitty had with a strong Sleeper Hold on the seated luchadora!

"Ngh! N-no!" Hart protested! She reached for the mighty bicep depriving her of air and blood flow! She protested Dana's decree as the boos rained down! None were more practiced and more proficient at playing the villain than this woman! But this was different from Ashford's usual brand of mischief and malice! This time, Dana was playing for keeps! This time, she promised destruction! This time, she had her competitive spirit set on annihilating the face of the company and giving Kat the downer ending that only she could! And she had been dominating The Super Kitty in this match for the last several minutes to drive that point home!

"Ah....ah...." Even now, Kat lay there on her butt, hand outstretched towards the ropes, which were so far away! Signs of life from the luchadora continued to wane as Dana squeezed away.

While Dana continued to kneel and tighten the hold, relishing in every jeer and expletive the crowd was hurling her way for proudly declaring that she would see to fan favorite Kat Hart's destruction, Kat extended her arm towards the ropes! Her chiseled bicep hovered over Dana's bent knee! Her other hand pawed at the strong arm choking her! But to no avail!

"You.... don't....!" Kat's eyes narrowed, not with her usual fighting spirit and chipper attitude, but with the fatigue of all the wear and tear Dana had put her through! After a good 30 seconds or so of the bigger blonde choking her out, Kat's outstretched arm fell limp and lifeless over Dana's knee!

The referee would move in to check on the luchadora! Kat's eyes were shut. She remained listless in her opponent's arms kike she were Dana's personal practice dummy! The referee began to move with a sense of urgency! Fans cried out in dismay! No doubt Dana was positively lost in the euphoria of this moment! But just when it looked like the referee was about to call for the bell, Kat abruptly brought her hands together!

CLAP....!
CLAP....!
CLAP....!

The Super Kitty began clapping her hands together in a slow, yet loud rhythm! The deluge of boos suddenly began to transition into cheers all around as Kat began to show signs of life! Just when it seemed like it was over, Kat started to rally! The crowd clapped alongside the legendary luchadora! Quickening the rhythm as Kat summoned her strength to fight her way up to her knees! She began to move out on instinct! But that could very well be enough! Despite being much younger than her opponent, Kat had a wealth of fighting experience of her own! She was a fighting champion! Many believed her to be the face of the company! There was a reason Dana had pushed herself to try to dismantle Kat Hart specifically! Right now, The Super Kitty was determined to dig her heels in and overcome the very best The Smiling Demoness had to offer in this Apex Match! And that started with the luchadora fighting her way up from a seated position to a kneeling one!

"You don't get.....!" Hart grunted the words as she clenched her teeth! Even the analysts at the commentary desks got up to cheer this comeback!

"To decide how this story ends for me! For these fans!" Kat would plant one foot and hunch forward to get some leverage! Dana had given her a drubbing, but somehow she was still able to dig down deep! The brawny blonde hooked her arms over Dana's thighs before powering her way up to her feet, carrying the villainous vixen up on her back, seemingly to set up for a counter!

If everything went Kat's way, she would step back quickly and throw herself and her opponent into the nearest corner of the ring! The cheers would boom even harder than the impact of Dana's back meeting the turnbuckle pads! But something would be off!

It was a spirited counter, but it would surely take more than that to shake off Ashford's formidable strength and her Sleeper Hold! After bumping into the corner, Kat took three big steps forward towards the center of the ring! She reached back over her shoulder for Dana's head, seemingly for a Backpack Stunner! But just when Kat was about to jump up to land the move, she once again collapsed onto her knees!

"Ngh....no!" Hart cried out in frustration and tiredness! She steeled the muscles in her chiseled form! The stadium lights bore down on Kat and Dana, highlighting the signs of wear and tear! The lights accentuated the redness on Kat's upper chest from Dana's mighty forearm blows earlier! A bruise was forming from the massive chair shot and violence she suffered outside the ring moments ago! Whenever Dana moved, there would even be a bruise on Kat's lower back visible, from Ashford having knelt on it just seconds ago!


All at once, it became clear that while Herculean comebacks were the reason they called her The Super Kitty, even Kat Hart had her limits! She was now in a frustrating state of limbo! All that heartache and struggle to look for an empathic counter to Dana's Sleeper Hold! Only to end up back in the center of the ring in a kneeling position with the Malicious Matriarch on her back! Strong enough to support the weight and power of Dana! Yet too banged up to fully power her way out of the hold! Back to gasping and writhing in this evil villainess' grasp while reaching for the ropes in futility!

If Dana continues to commit to squeezing the fight out of Kat, the poor luchadora would hang in there for another ten seconds or so before finally collapsing onto her side! And all those cheers would once again devolve into a chorus of white hot boos! No doubt music to the veteran heel legend's ears!!!
