Jaeger Sisters & Audrey Hunter vs. Marzia Servelli, Astrid Ostberg & Michiko Shimizu - Six Tag Mayhem

[Arjuna]

Bethany thought that she could reach Marzia before she could tag in her teammate, as she was already within her arm's reach. All she had to do was to pull her away and drag her back towards the center of the ring where she could continue working on her body. But, when she saw Marzia slapping Astrid's extended hand, Bethany's heart sank, knowing that she was in trouble. But it was already too late to move back as she saw Astrid entering the ring, throwing a punch straight at her face.

"Ooughhhh!!!"

Her head recoiled from the blow, and she ended up falling onto her back. The powerful blow from the Norwegian brought her down onto the mat, and she ended up clutching her aching face, moaning in pain and exposed to whatever Astrid would do next. Things didn't look too good for Bethany so far.

[CaptainL]

With a swing from Astrid's fist, the momentum of the match had shifted once again, leaving the heavyweight to take control as she stormed in over the ropes while Bethany fell back from her punch. The crowd let out a groan in sympathy for the fallen blonde, but Astrid was still keen to work up their attention nonetheless, flexing her arms and striking a confident pose to the stands. She stood tall, pushing out her chest, and made it clear she was ready to prove herself.

Then, with Bethany down, it was time for Astrid to get to work. She wasted no time in scooping the girl up before pulling her against her chest in a tight embrace, moving to lock her into a bear hug!

[Arjuna]

Bethany was downed by Astrid's fist, Bethany groaned on the mat, still trying to recover. But the Norwegian wasn't giving her any of that as she went to pick the strawberry-blonde cutie up before locking her in a bearhug. Their bodies ended up mashing against each other as Astrid wrapped her arms around her body, squeezing her.

"Uwaaaghhhh!!!" Bethany cried out in pain as she was being squeezed by the heavyweight. She started struggling and squirming, but the iron grip of the Norwegian's bearhug was too tight for her to pry off of her body, and at the moment, Bethany was in deep trouble. "Uuuurghhh... uurrghhhhh!!!" She closed her eyes tightly, trying to fight back the pain.

At the same time, both Cynthia and Audrey were looking at Bethany with worry as they waited for the right moment to intervene, but for the time being, Bethany was on her own, helpless in Astrid's tight embrace.

[CaptainL]

With her arms locked tightly in place around the hapless Bethany, Astrid grinned a wide and confident grin. She had this well set, she thought - having hung back away from the action up to this point, she still had a fresh reserve of energy at her disposal, and she didn't feel any threat of her strength waning any time soon. With Bethany pressed against her chest, she would clench down harder, her muscles bulging to compress the fellow blonde. And when the cries of pain only confirmed to her that what she was doing was working, she committed herself to pressing on. Sooner or later, she knew, Bethany would have to be faced with the fact she wouldn't get out.

"That's all you've got?" Astrid taunted, hoping to bait out Bethany's strength while at the same time testing to see what other tricks she might have up her sleeve!

[Arjuna]

Bethany remained trapped in the bearhug no matter how hard she tried to escape, and Astrid's strength was simply unbelievable. Bethany was having trouble breathing at this point as her body was being squeezed in the hold, and to make matter worse for her, the Norwegian started taunting her, and she couldn't let this stand!

"Nnnrghhh..." Groaning, Bethany glared at her bigger opponent as she would rear her head back. "I-I"ll show you!" She knew this was a dangerous gamble, but it was something that she was willing to do in order to escape this hold. She would then throw her head forward, trying to smash her forehead against Astrid's with a headbutt, hoping this would force the Norwegian to loosen her hold. Still, this would leave her utterly disoriented that she wouldn't be able to follow it up with any kind of attack.

[CaptainL]

Astrid had been starting off her entrance in this match strong, compressing Bethany's chest and diaphragm with considerable strength. She had hoped that the blonde wouldn't be finished off this early, so that she might be able to get a better feel for what she could do, but as the struggle went on and Bethany's strength waned, it was starting to look like the match was drawing to a close.

But, of course, it would soon become apparent it wasn't - as Bethany struck back by slamming her forehead into the Norwegian's own! Astrid let out a pained groan from the headbutt, and went staggering back. Her arms started to go slack before they finally slipped free of Bethany and let her down, as Astrid was left reeling and rubbing her temples to try and recenter herself enough to continue. Bethany might have been winded, but Astrid herself would need a moment to regain her strength.

[Arjuna]

While Bethany was left disoriented from her headbutt, she was freed from Astrid's bearhug, and the Norwegian was affected by the headbutt that she couldn't pursue Bethany. With her head still ringing, the strawberry-blonde cutie decided that it's about time to get her mother into the ring, and mustering her effort, she would stagger towards her team's corner, where Audrey had already extended her hand in, waiting for her daughter to tag her in.

It took her longer than expected, but Bethany managed to tag her mother in, and Audrey would nod to her daughter before slipping into the ring. Hoping that Astrid was still affected by the headbutt earlier, she would look at her before charging towards her, extending her arm out as she would attempt to take her down with a running lariat!

[CaptainL]

Knowing that Bethany would have taken quite a beating from the bear hug she had just been trapped in, Astrid stepped back to let her make her escape, where she would stand off by the ropes to nurse her aching head and watch the proceedings. Not only would this give her the chance to catch her breath, she had figured that Bethany would be the type to tag in another partner by this point - and it was only reasonable that she would choose one who could stand up to Astrid in strength and size. This way, the Norwegian thought, she would be able to size up her coming opponent and get a feel for what she could expect.

However, even if Astrid was thinking ahead, it didn't change the fact that she had taken a blow straight to the head, and she would be dazed from that still as Audrey came rushing forward. Astrid tried to get into a stance, beginning to lower her body, but thanks to her stupor she'd be a moment too late, leaving Audrey to collide with her head-on with her lariat. The blonde went falling onto her back with a cough and a sputter, downed from the impact.

[Arjuna]

Audrey had entered the ring, replacing her daughter and charged towards Astrid to land a lariat on her, taking her down. Looking at her downed opponent, the blue-haired mature woman would walk around her, grabbing her by her head to pull her back up onto her feet in preparation for her next move. This time, she planned to deliver some strikes on the Norwegian in order to weaken her.

Once she managed to bring Astrid back onto her feet, Audrey would spin her around so that they could face each other. Then, she would hammer her forearm at the Norwegian's chest with a forearm club. And she wasn't content with just one as she would follow up with two more strikes, looking to leave the Norwegian disoriented and winded from those attacks.

[CaptainL]

Even after Astrid had gone down, she wouldn't be in that position for very long, as Audrey soon stepped in to take hold of her head and lift her to her feet. She groaned and began to rise, but deigned to fight back, as she shot a glare back over her shoulder and reached up to grab at Audrey's hands holding her head, struggling to push them away. In the process, however, she was spun back around to face her opponent, leaving her dizzied and off her balance. It would only last for a short second, but that would be enough for Audrey, who began to fire off a couple of punches into Astrid's chest!

The blows left her staggered, and Astrid started to stumble back, panting. She was sore, all right - but she wasn't going down that easily, and she was made from tougher stuff. She bent over forward at the waist, teetering on unsteady balance, but she wasn't out yet. She would try to grab for Audrey's arm, hoping to bring her down with an armdrag!
