The Lion and The Siberian Wolf

[APimpNamedSlickback]

Ramza stands up from his crouch, after successfully executing the devastating Stunner. The crowd erupts in applause at the impressive counter. Wiping sweat from his brow, he turns around to find Irina. He got lucky with that maneuver but he's happy he pulled it off as he smirks.

Seeing her trying to recover quickly, propped up by the ropes in the corner, Ramza seizes the initiative. His feet exploded in a quick sprint as he rushes forward, aiming at the cornered diva. He's aiming for a Body splash, crushing her in the corner with his entire weight and the turnbuckle.

Despite taking the full force of the stunner, the Siberian Wolf recovered quickly. The impact had left her dazed, but Irina had no intention of giving Ramza enough time to capitalize on it.

She spotted him charging toward her at full speed, clearly looking to follow up with a body splash.

Irina's eyes widened slightly.

At the last possible moment, she moved.

She quickly stepped out of the way, causing Ramza to sail past her and crash directly into the turnbuckle. The impact rattled the corner as Irina immediately turned her attention back toward him.

But she wasn't done there.

Before Ramza could properly recover or even turn around, Irina rushed forward and wrapped both arms around his waist. She planted her feet firmly against the canvas and lowered her center of gravity, securing her grip.

A suplex was her plan.

"Hup!"

With a sharp grunt, Irina pulled with everything she had and began lifting him off the mat.

The difference in their size was obvious. Ramza was bigger and stronger, and moments ago he had used that advantage to overwhelm her. Yet Irina refused to let that discourage her.

Slowly, she managed to get him higher.

The crowd began reacting as they realized what the Siberian Wolf was doing.

This was exactly what Irina had been looking for. She didn't need to overpower her opponent in a straight contest of strength. She needed to use her technique, positioning, and timing to create opportunities.

And now, she had one.

For the moment, Irina was showing LAW that size alone did not determine the outcome of a wrestling match.

Not only can she wrestle and adapt, she was beginning to prove that she belonged here in LAW.

His shoulder collided with the padded corner with a meaty THUD. The shockwave rippled through his joint, sending pins and needles dancing along his nerves.

"Shit..." Ramza muttered, rolling his shoulder experimentally. It worked fine thankfully, but the brief respite ended when she closed distance rapidly. He made the mistake of taking his eyes off her. Before he could react, arms cinched tight around his torso. The shift in weight distribution registered immediately, she was lowering her stance, preparing something big.

His instincts screamed warning. In one fluid motion, Irina lifts him, using every ounce of leverage available to physics itself. Gravity seized him as she pulled downward while simultaneously pivoting her entire body backwards.

"Whoa!"

Then came the descent—a brutal slam as she drove him backward onto the mat with tremendous force.

Thud. CRASH.

The impact rattled his skull, stars exploding across his vision.
