Grace Allen vs. "Tigress" Tina Armstrong

[Highfly]

Tina gasped for breath, her chest heaving as she slowly began to stir, rising up to her feet. "Oh don't
go getting arrogant on me... " Tina growled as she staggered up. The tigress my her forward to plant Grace in the abdomen with a knee and then tried to wrap an arm arpu d her head while hooking a leg.

Tina was going to try to deliver a hard fisherman suplex to Grace to get back into the match!

[Ironsoldier]

"Oh, come on..." Grace lamented. Every time she thought Tina was down for the count the talented rookie managed to find some new reserve and force herself back into the match.

"Ouff!" She grimaced, struck hard with a knee, courtesy of Tina Armstrong, only for the Tigress to transition into a fishermans suplex. She hit the mat with authority, only to find her leg still hooked and her shoulders pressed into the mat for another pinfall attempt. The referee slid into position to begin the count as Grace thrashed, arching her body and kicking with both her free and captured leg, trying to break the pin. *ONE!*

[Highfly]

Tina held Grace in place as long as she could but as the referee hit the mat for the second count Grace managed to find a way to free herself. Tina rose to her feet and backed away. "Damn it, stay down will ya?" She said as she waited for Grace to get up. "I'm not just some rookie just off the street here... n' you are something else. I gotta get nasty eh?" Tina said to Grace, and somewhat talking aloud to herself. She did have to go all out to win. Grace was an experienced, talented and gritty wrestler. Tina had to be all that and more to win.

Tina wasn't about to be fancy she was going for fast, hard hitting and effective at this point. once Grace was up and facing her Tina rushed forward and ran right at her lowering her shoulders to spear Grace to the mat as hard as she could, following up with a flurry of hard punches to deliver more punishment to her more experienced foe!

[Ironsoldier]

There was a definite shift in the tone of the match now. Gone was the good natured back and forth bantering of two tough competitors. Tina was starting to get angry, getting more and more vicious and Grace knew she had to keep pace with the talented rookie or be bowled right over.

Escaping the pin and saving herself from a loss there and then, Grace barely had time to get to her feet before she was violently speared to the mat by an angry tigress!

"Ouuff!"

She struck the mat hard with a groan. Punches rained down from above and Grace Allen covered up, blocking most with her forearms but getting tagged twice, her face snapping back and forth from the impacts. Then, Grace started firing back, alternating between blocking, throwing her own punches from underneath, then blocking again. The mat was the last place Grace wanted to be, but she was an effective striker in her own right!

[Highfly]

Tina felt the counter punches sneaking their way in and groaned upon the impact of a few more successful strikes!

The tigress got off Grace and knew her opponent was going to be quick to her feet. If Grace wanted to brawl, Tina would brawl! "Sorry but this tigress has claws!" Tina shouted as she stepped I to deliver two fast punches to Graces abdomen!

[Ironsoldier]

Grace Allen rubbed at her jaw and cheek as she climbed to her feet. Damn that girl could punch, but this was one arena where the long limbed Grace actually had the advantage, a stand up striking contest.

"Bring it, kitten." She said, trying to lure Tina in, get her to strike first, and the tigress didn't disappoint. Instead of blocking or firing back with punches of her own, Grace leapt back to avoid the incoming shots. Almost in the same motion she began to turn, spinning around, her right leg flying up high in an attempt to nail Tina on the side of the head with a roundhouse kick!

[Highfly]

As Tina swung, she watched Grace step back. A look of pure disgust and rage grew in Tina's face as she tried again to move in and swing... failing. Before she could even howl in rage or move closer again Grace spun around the the kick connected to the side of Tina's jaw! She made a weak moaning noise as she fell limply to her side and landed on the mat in a motionless heap!

Tina was dazed to say the least, out of it and trying to reset her brain as she would need a bit of time to recover from the unexpected kick that outright leveled her!

[Ironsoldier]

"Sorry Tina, but you're staying down this time!" Grace shoved her boot into the Tigress side to roll the younger wrestler fully onto her back. Taking a deep breath, Grace ran for the ropes, jumping up onto them so that she landed nimbly on the middle rope, then rebounded off with a moonsault, aiming to come crashing down across Armstrongs body! If she nailed the landing, she would immediately grab for the girls right leg and go for a pin attempt, hoping all the while that Tina was too dazed to recover in time.

[Highfly]

Tina was out of it, barely aware of what was going on. As she sat up, a tremendous force hammered her driving her r igbt back down to the mat! Tina howled in agonizing pain as Grace skillfully performed her aerial assault and transitioned to the pin!

"ONE!"

Tina kicked and failed weakly, still trapped underneath Grace!

[Ironsoldier]

"Stay down girl, it's over."

Grace felt Tina kicking beneath her and leveraged more of her weight on the Tigress shoulders, keeping her leg hooked in one arm. Just a little longer and she'd have the match won... but her younger opponent had proven tenacious before and Grace had no intention of letting up as the ref brought a hand down for her second count.
