Dana Ashford vs. Mari Fuuma - Deep Blue Crash

[Arjuna]

Having slammed Mari's face into the corner, Dana planned to continue with her momentum, looking to inflict more damage on her. But Mari grabbed Dana by her wrists, and Dana clicked her tongue as she was forced to change her plan for the time being.

First, Dana would slam Mari's back against the turnbuckle. Then, she would drive her knee into her gut, looking to leave her breathless and gasping for air. From there, she would try to pull her hands from Mari's grasp as she would think of her next move.

Dazed, Mari continued to try and fight for freedom even with her body dulled, trying to push and pull her way out of Dana's grasp. But her struggling could not mount to any tangible progress against Dana as she was moved around easily in this state and thrown into the corner! Her back hit the pads, groaning out as her back was stinging in pain but then quickly after that, the knee came crashing into her gut!

"Guuuugh!"

Mari hunched forward as the knee buried itself into her abs, grinding away into her stomach and cutting into her breathing as she need to recover from the sapping blow as she slumped back into the corner, gasping for air!

[Arjuna]

After burying her knee into Mari's belly, Dana would grab Mari by her head, pulling her away from the turnbuckle. Then, she would turn around, still keeping her hands on her opponent's head before she attempted to flip her over with a snapmare, sending her crashing down onto the mat, back first.

For extra measure, Dana planned to give Mari's belly a stomp after the snapmare, hoping to keep her on the mat so that she would remain there. Dana had a big move planned for her, and she would make sure that she would stay down so that she could carry out that move soon.

[TheManVan]

Coughing for air, Mari was hauled out of the corner with a tight grip on her head, stumbling forward after Dana as they neared the center of the ring. With her opponent securing her hold she'd quickly whipped Mari forward as the silver head's body was flung up and over and landed hard on her back! "Nnnnnngh!" Mari groaned out, laid out on the mat before Dana came stomping down on her stomach as another rush of air left her!

Underfoot, she growled as she twisted and turned with her hands wrapped around the ankle, trying to free herself out from underneath Dana as she grounded away at her core!

[Arjuna]

Right after sending Mari down onto the mat with a snapmare, Dana then stomped onto her stomach, dealing more damage on her. Smirking, Dana stood over her opponent, her foot still pressed against her stomach, though she could feel Mari's hands wrapped around her ankle. She would try to shake her hands off her ankle before giving her opponent another stomp, much to the displeasure of the audience.

After that, Dana would bend down, grabbing Mari by her head, forcefully pulling her back up to her feet. Forcing her to stand on her feet in front of her, Dana would throw a knee strike right into her gut, looking to make her lose her breath and have her double over before her so that she could wrap her arm around her head, putting her in a front facelock.

[TheManVan]

With pain shooting up her back after her heavyweight body crashing all on the point of her tailbone, Mari needed a second to adjust to the pain. But a second was something that Dana would not allow her to take as she took a hold of her silver hair and pulled her back up to her feet! "Huuugh!" air escaped from her lungs as a knee came crashing into her stomach and Mari soon herself back in the clutches of Dana forced to bend forward and finding an arm wrapped around her head and locking a front headlock!

"Tch...!"

Mari growled as she grabbed onto the arm around her head, while the other reached out for Dana's hips, looking to get some measure of control in an bad situation. But the knee cut out plenty of her power and the headlock was ensuring that she would stay like that as she gritted her teeth. With little options and the outcome looking like Dana wringing her out, Mari dug her feet into the mat and pushed into Dana, trying to get enough traction to ram back first into the corner turnbuckle!

[Arjuna]

Having driven her knee into her opponent's gut, Dana held Mari's head in the front facelock. But it seemed that her opponent had plenty of energy left in her as she pushed her towards the corner, and before she knew it, her back was touching the turnbuckle. Dana frowned slightly, though her motherly smile returned as she looked at her opponent.

"Oh dear... why don't you stay down there for a bit?" Dana said as she would let go of Mari from the front facelock. But she wouldn't waste her time as she would hold her own hands together and lift them up before bringing both of them down, looking to hit Mari's upper back with a double axe handle.
