Maxine Rossi vs. E'isa [D]

[CaptainL]

The action of this match was neck and neck - both women were fully devoted to overpowering and humbling one another; at every second, the tides seemed to be ready to turn. E'isa had just narrowly broken free of a pin attempt, but it was only seconds later that Maxine had righted herself and was now prepared to pounce on her with her full weight, looking to flatten her. But Maxine hadn't counted on E'isa growing wise to her tricks by now - and she was in for a rude awakening. Just as Maxine was about to come down on top of E'isa, the Dominican woman rolled to her back - and away from Maxine, leaving her to come crashing down onto her knees! With her teeth clenched in a grimace, she skidded to a stop just shy of her target.

And for those brief few seconds, her guard was down - which was an opportunity E'isa was eager to exploit. Before Maxine knew it, the Latina had thrown her legs around her throat, pulling her into a wicked chokehold! She rasped and coughed as the air was being squeezed out of her throat, her face contorting into a pained grimace as a breathless groan was forced from her lungs. Maxine tried to bring her hands up to push at E'isa's arms, doing her best to force them apart even an inch so that she could breathe. She could barely get them to budge, and her strength was failing by the minute as her face reddened under the pressure. But she wasn't about to submit - not before she'd tried everything else!

Locking in the choke, E'isa would continue applying pressure. Hearing Maxine struggle after finding herself caught. Following the missed attempt to drop onto the Latina and deal more damage to her back. E'isa heard Maxine cough out trying to get air back in. Her face showcased a painful grimace, a breathless groan escaping her lungs.

E'isa seeing Maxine trying to get her hands up, would flex her muscles and pull down harder. Her back still feeling some pain, but seeing Maxine struggling would push forward. Wanting to capitalize on the moment in front of her as she had her right where she wanted her. A true uphill battle following the back and forth outside. E'isa had control and was keen on keeping it locked in tight until either Maxine gave in or went to sleep.

Getting a view of Maxine's face as she looked to be getting a bit red. Grinning as she felt the pressure getting to her. Feeling like it might only be a matter of time as she spoke to Maxine, making it clear what would happen if she didn't throw in the towel.

"You should tap before this gets out of hand.. I'm not letting go, and you're looking a bit red in the face.."

E'isa clasped her hands tighter as she flexed her legs, smiling at the display in front of her.

E'isa was exerting a considerable amount of force on Maxine's windpipe - she didn't know if she could withstand much longer. Her face contorted into a scowl, with her teeth locked in a grimace as her cheeks reddened from the blood rushing to her face. But as uphill of a battle as this might've seemed, Maxine still wasn't going to give up - her pride was too great for that. Even if she was going to go out, she at least wanted to go out fighting - and she would prove as much when, even as her vision blurred and the slack began to set into her muscles, Maxine still grabbed for the legs encircling her throat and pushed at them as hard as she could, trying to pry her opponent's grip apart.

Even still, E'isa wasn't going to budge! She stayed right where she was - even squeezing her legs tighter, forcing a raspy cough from Maxine's lungs as her body buckled and wavered under the pressure. Everything felt heavier and heavier the closer she was coming to unconsciousness, as though a lead weight was bearing down on her shoulders - and growing stronger with every passing minute. Then, one by one, Maxine's fingers would slip away from E'isa's legs as her muscles went slack. Her breaths slowed, and the world around her grew dark. But as blurry and indistinct as everything was becoming, Maxine could still understand what E'isa had said to her, loud and clear. And she knew exactly what she felt about it.

"Like hell...I'm gonna listen to you..." Her voice was hoarse and strained, but the determination in her tone was undeniable. Maxine had pledged to fight it to the end, and she was fully intent on making good on that promise. Even if she couldn't beat E'isa, she was at least going to deny her the satisfaction of making her tap. She'd hold on until she couldn't any more - and soon enough, the weight began to set into her head, until her eyes finally rolled back and she fell limp in E'isa's embrace, her tongue lolling from the side of her mouth. At least it had been on her terms!

E'isa felt like she had it all in the palm of her hand. She believed the time had come to put Maxine down. Continuing to apply the choke, putting her all into it, refusing to let go. Holding her grasp around the front of her neck and back of the head simultaneously, preventing any sliver of air from breaking through into the lungs of Maxine, quelling any fight and snuffing out any will to continue. Her arms felt sweaty, her legs felt sore, but her resolve to push much like the beginning of the match up to now was unwavering.

The referee came to check the condition of both wrestlers. However, looking at Maxine's current posture and getting a peak at her face,, they grew nervous. Visibly getting an up-close look at Maxine, she looked like she clearly couldn't go on but was too prideful to concede. Pleading with her to give up and not push herself to the point of potentially falling unconscious or possibly getting injured. All the while E'isa only tightened her hold making it abundantly clear she was serious about her words. No release would come unless a tap was felt or an "I give" was uttered.

Maxine looked to be in bad shape. The crowd had been cheering for E'isa time and time again as she showcased her willpower. Fans of both wanting to see the match continue, but what some would realize looking at Maxine was that it might not be possible. The grimacing face of Maxine combined with the continued redness that flooded her cheeks growing into a more profound shade of red as time went on. The strength and resilience to try and escape would wither away second by second. Unwilling to yield and give E'isa the satisfaction of feeling her tapping. Though at this point, she thought it was unlikely Maxine could speak, held into her position for so long. But to her surprise, she'd hear words she didn't expect. Defiance still the refusal to give in would make the referee put their hands on their head in pure shock and confusion. E'isa still grinning, in her mind a win was coming for her regardless of whether Maxine's pride allowed her to admit it.

Her opponent would continue struggling after the words, but what E'isa felt and saw was undeniable. Maxine had been caught in the choke for so long, and her face and energy would start to reflect it. She held on as long as she could, but her body would begin to show the signs. Her body would buckle and waver, her fight would wane more and more, and each move she made felt heavier. Then E'isa felt each finger slip off her legs, a look of satisfaction in her eyes. The satisfaction for her was in the win, she had already showcased who she was to these fans. Maxine's breathing slowed, and everything for her would grow dark, her eyes rolling back as she fell limply into E'isa's embrace, her tongue the last thing to fall as it lolled from the side of her mouth. E'isa looked at what she saw as a clearly unconscious Maxine, going out on her terms. Refusing to give in, a respectable effort as the referee would drop to one knee and do the needed hand test. Wanting to just call the match based on what the eye test told them, feeling like Maxine needed to be released but doing it for the sake of the match. The hand would fall once, twice.. THREE TIMES! Leading the official to immediately signal the bell as the match was over. Calling for E'isa to release the hold, the Latina only willing to release it after a couple more seconds of enjoying Maxine in her grasp still.

Letting go of the choke before rolling backward onto one knee. Maxine slumped downward before plopping onto the canvas, visibly lost and out of it. E'isa got a prime look at her, a defeated Maxine in front of her. The realization of what had happened did not click at first, but then upon hearing her theme ring out and fans cheering for her. A handful standing to show respect it would all click, she had just won her debut match. It wasn't easy, she at moments wondered if she could keep going, but she had done it. The official dropped down to check on Maxine, turning her in an attempt to aid her in getting air back into her body after being victim to such a dangerous maneuver. Wondering if they needed to resuscitate her or call the med team. But they would be interrupted as E'isa would call to them. Pointing to her hand, signaling she wanted it to be raised after picking up her debut win. Reluctant at first, but realizing their duties as referee they'd pop up and raise her hand. The crowd showed their respect as E'isa saw her first sight of people putting up her signature "X". Feeling like she was already growing her name, looking back down at Maxine with some words before rolling out and heading up the ramp.

"You sure were a handful, had me questioning myself a bit but at least now you know what they will all find out soon enough.. I will overcome, I will eXcel, I will rise because AM ENDLESS.."

Rolling out the ring before heading up the ramp, pausing at the top of the ramp before putting up the "X". Smiling as her first go at Law was a success, disappearing behind the curtain, leaving the referee to tend to Maxine.
