Dana Ashford had been wrestling for over 26 years, and she was still active these days as a wrestler. While many wrestlers her age might have considered retirement already, her career as a wrestler still kept going strong as she looked to leave a lasting impact in the industry. And that was why she decided to join LAW and show these youngsters the real way of wrestling.

Already clad in her leopard-print wrestling leotard, Dana waited at the gorilla position for her cue, crossing her arms under her ample breasts as she waited. She thought that she liked it here more in Japan compared to at the States, though she would like to see how good the wrestlers here were by facing them in the ring.

Soon, her entrance music, Birth of a Witch, was played, and Dana confidently strode out to the ramp, receiving quite a cheer due to her contribution in the wrestling world. She walked down the ramp, approaching the ring where she would be facing her first opponent here in LAW tonight.

Once she arrived, she raised her arms for another pop, though there were a few boos here and there, probably from those who really hated her guts, but she didn't mind that. Soon after that, she climbed up the apron, entering the ring by rolling under the ropes. She took her chance to flex her arms a bit before going to the corner, waiting for her opponent to arrive. From what she had heard, she would be facing someone named Wicke Sykes. She looked forward to see what this Wicke was like when she showed up soon.

Today is the day. The Scientist vs the Smiling Demon. Two veterans duking it out in the modern wrestling ring.

Wicke has never faced Dana Ashford in ring before but she knew of her reputation as a heel though. The researcher was booked as the babyface of the match. It comes to Wicke's interest that not only her opponent was the older wrestler, but the two had an age difference of over ten years so the purple haired woman felt quite youthful for once. If her opponent is close to 50 and still fighting fit, maybe Wicke could wrestle as long as she wants provided she doesn't become tardy.

Wicke would be wearing her signature labcoat over her white leotard, waiting in the gorilla position for her cue She took a bunch of deep breathes trying to keep a cool head as she would be in for a tough match.

After being given her call, Wicke walked up to the ramp immediately getting showered by cheers. The researcher smiled warmly as she waved to the crowd whilst walking down the ramp. Wicke climbed up the apron and entered the ring through the middle rope. She slowly stripped her lab coat revealing her body and her luxurious leotard captivating the spectators even more. The audience started chanting "Sci-En-Tist Sci-En-Tist Sci-En Tist" in support of the face as Wicke tried to not blush from the attention. After appealing to the fans, she had a good look at her opponent. Wicke was rather impressed that her opponent was looked mature but rather beautiful. The purple hair woman in her heydays defeated opponent as big as Dana, but that was then and this is now. Who will be triumphant?

Wanting to get to know her opponent, Wicke walked towards her opponent so that they were a few feet apart. "It is interesting getting into the ring with another veteran, although it would still be polite to introduce ourselves. My name is Wicke Sykes and I shall hope to give you a satisfactory match" said the researcher politely trying to be a good sport as always. She hoped that Dana wouldn't be a cheat and sucker punch her immediately, so Wicke stood at a safe distance.

Dana watched as her opponent made her entrance, still smiling as she noted that her opponent carried herself like a seasoned veteran. Having been in this industry for more than two decades, the mature woman managed to pick up the nuances to ascertain the wrestlers whom she was about to face. And she could respect that sort of gimmick that Wicke was using for herself, which added to her charm as a wrestler.

Still, Dana planned to win this match as she kept her eyes on Wicke. When Wicke walked towards her, Dana placed one of her hands on her waist, taking a nonchalant pose before she listened what Wicke was saying. From what Dana could see, it seemed that opponent was keeping her distance from her, which was wise of her. She was hoping that her opponent would show more of her wisdom later in their match.

"Is that so? Well... I am Dana Ashford. Pleased to make your acquaintances, Miss Sykes." Dana spoke to her opponent in an easygoing tone, seemingly trying to present an air of harmlessness. But for those who were familiar with her reputation, the air of harmlessness was nothing more than a facade that she put on herself to make her opponent drop their guard. It's up to Wicke to decide whether to keep her guard up or drop it.

Wicke looked at her opponent and listened to her reply. Dana had a reputation as a heel but from Wicke's point of view she seemed rather easy going. Maybe the fellow veteran went through a face turn or is she wearing a mask? Is she is a heel is she a cheater or sadist? There were many questions that processed through Wicke's mind. The researcher decided to ignore any concerns and just focus on her present task. To win this match.

With the formalities having been officially given, Wicke decided to return to her corner and do some stretches. Despite being out of the ring for a few years, the researcher was a fast learner when it came to using her many old techniques. She was looking forward to see what Miss or now Mrs Ashford is capable of.

DING DING DING

Here we go. Veteran vs Veteran has begun.

Wicke walked out of the gate slow and steady raising her arms. The purple haired woman wasn't well regarded for her speed but for her expertise. She tried circling her opponent seeing if there is any weak points that she can exploit. Then an idea popped in Wicke's head. Provoking the taller woman would be give her a better opportunity to know Dana physically and mentally. "Let us test which of us veterans is physically superior" called out Wicke suggesting Dana to lock up with her. The researcher may have as well asked an actual leopard to fight her, for this was rather risky.

Now that the bell was rung, Dana stepped forward, preparing herself for her clash with Wicke. Taking her stance, she watched her opponent carefully, knowing that despite her experience, she couldn't afford to underestimate her opponent. And Wicke seemed to be rather confident in her own abilities. Still, Dana wasn't worried, considering that she knew how skilled she was a wrestler, and she planned to show it to Wicke soon.

"Ah, of course..." Dana said, still smiling as Wicke suggested a lock up between them. Holding out her arms, Dana would get close to her opponent, seemingly looking to lock up with Wicke for a grapple. But there was a devious glint in her eyes as she got closer. Before she could lock up with Wicke, Dana would try to execute her plan, which was a knee strike right into her opponent's belly, looking to wind her a bit before grabbing her body, looking to gain advantage over her in a grapple.

[SwordSavior1]

Wicke stood with her arms up waiting for her larger opponent to lock arms. She anchored her feet to the ground to ensure that she wouldn't be swept off her feet immediately. "Alright Mrs Dana Ashford show me what are you capable of" thought the researcher as she watched her opponent come closer towards her. She was surprisingly calm about the situation.

As soon as Dana was only a inches away, Wicke noticed a weird look in her opponent's eyes. "That is a rather odd face what is she ACK!" thought the shorter woman before coughing out as she hit by a knee in the belly. Wicke was still standing albeit weakened slightly by the unexpected attack. Now Dana would try to impose dominance in a grapple. The shorter woman tried to resist any strain on her body as Dana had quite the grip in her arms. In an attempt to break free, Wicke pressed her arms against her opponent's shoulders trying to push the older woman back.

[PrinceArjuna332]

Driving her knee right into Wicke's belly, Dana immediately went to grapple with her, hoping that the sudden attack would make it hard for her to resist being overwhelmed. Still, Wicke made quite a good fight despite the hit she had just taken, which impressed Dana a little. So, when Wicke tried to push Dana away from her, Dana would try to change her tactic, looking to grab one of her opponent's hands, hoping to twist it into a wrist lock before transitioning it into a hammerlock, bringing said hand around to Wicke's back. In order to add pressure into it, Dana would try to push the arm up, bringing it closer and closer to the back of Wicke's neck. As she did so, she would show everyone her smile, which was framed with shadow, indicating how wicked the Smiling Demon was.

[SwordSavior1]

Wicke may have been caught off guard by the knee, she was still ready to fight holding her ground in the grappling contest. However, Dana proved to be quite crafty as she broke the grapple changing to a wrist lock. For someone so large, the Smiling Demon was so quick on her feet. Wicke closed her mouth trying to stiffle any cries as her wrist was being bent. Things got more worse as Dana transitioned into a hammerlock. The researcher let out a single moan as her arm was being bent by the sadist. Her body would be shaking as a result of the pain. If things don't happen fast, Wicke will brought on to knees. In a desperate bid to separate the two, Wicke used her free arm to elbow her opponent from behind. Although Dana seemed rather bulky so it may be a fruitless endeavour.

[PrinceArjuna332]

Trapping Wicke in the hammerlock, Dana smiled even more as she planned to bring her other arm up in order to wrap it around her opponent's head, but before she could accomplish that, Wicke went to bring up her free arm and elbowed her. The strike made it difficult for the seasoned veteran to maintain the hold, so Dana decided that she might as well cut her losses as she would try to hook her leg around Wicke's, looking to trip her down onto the mat after releasing her from the hammerlock!

[SwordSavior1]

Wicke was doing a good job keeping Dana at a distance with the reverse elbow. Just a little more and the hammerlock would be broken entirely. The researcher swung her elbow hoping to separate the two, however Dana decided a change of tactics were in order as she hooked her leg around Wicke's causing her to trip. Wicke wailed a little as she landed on her butt. The younger woman would be massaging her hurt rear as her enemy stood around her. Dana was quite the thinker as well, what could she be plotting next?
