Kaoru Hanayama (D) Vs Sophie Russel

[SimplyWoo]

Kaoru continued to squeeze Sophie, letting his arms wrap tighter around her body like an Anaconda putting the squeeze on a jungle woman. He opted not to lift her off the ground, instead he bent over, letting his upper body press into Sophie's back to force her to bend forward to let his arms pull more into her toned abs. He also wasn't going for an ongoing squeeze, not looking to make her submit from the pain, but rather his arms eased up for a moment and then he flexed and squeezed intensely for a few seconds, repeating the process in a manner to attempt to try to drain the energy from his opponent.

[Arjuna]

Trapped in the bearhug, Sophie struggled to break free, but it seemed that her effort was fruitless as Kaoru continued squeezing her. She was weakened the longer she was trapped there, and at the moment, there was nothing she could do to stop her opponent from weakening her even further. All she could hope for was to outlast this hold so that she wouldn't instantly lose.

[SimplyWoo]

As Sophie was struggling to endure Kaoru continued to squeeze her intensely. It looked like she was beginning to weaken and go limp in his grip when she could suddenly hear the fans chanting her name, shouting "Sophie Sophie Sophie!" and could even hear a few suggestions with one fan shouting, "Stomp his alligator shoes!" and another shouting "Throw some elbows!" as they tried to ensure her that even if she was at odds with a big mismatched opponent, the fans still believed in her and was there to support her no matter what.

[Arjuna]

As Sophie struggled to break free, she heard the crowd chanting her name. She blinked, unsure what just happened. It seemed that this David vs. Goliath clash made her the fan favorite in this match. This heightened her resolution, so she would try to drive her elbow right at Kaoru's side a few times, hoping to get him to free her from his grasp so that she could be released.

[SimplyWoo]

As Sophie swung her elbows the first two times, it almost seamt to be in vain, however after the third elbow, Kaoru did let out a grunt of discomfort as his arms loosened up as his hands were no longer gripping at his elbows, but have now loosened to where they were just locked onto his wrists, giving Sophie some wiggle room as her final elbow gave her freedom, Kaoru gritting his teeth in pain as his hands rested on her hips.

[Arjuna]

After hitting at Kaoru's side a few times with her elbow, Sophie finally managed to give herself enough room to break away, and after wiggling her own body, she stumbled away from Kaoru's grasp, and she staggered on her feet as she winced, still feeling the pain from being squeezed by the massive man. She would need some time to recover as she would make her way to the ropes, breathing hard as she held onto her sides that were squeezed by her opponent earlier.

[SimplyWoo]

As Sophie was taking her time to recover, Hanayama grimaced a little and rubbed his side. He then began to march towards her as he reached out to grab her hand. If he was successful at that, he would attempt to pull Sophie towards him as he would twist to her side to bring his other hand to her lower back, pushing in an attempt to irish whip her towards the corner turnbuckles to make her back collide with the corner, to which if successful, he would then attempt to charge at her and look to ram his shoulder into her midsection if she didn't get out of the way in time.

[Arjuna]

Still recovering, Sophie was then grabbed by Kaoru, who sent her running towards the corner with an Irish whip. Unable to stop herself, she hit the turnbuckle with her back, and before she could do anything, she took the shoulder ram from her opponent right at her midsection.

"GUHAA!!!"

Eyes widening, Sophie was left breathless, with her arms draped over the ropes keeping her upright. Things seemed dire for the plucky wrestler so far, and things might get even worse after this.

[SimplyWoo]

As Kaoru succeeded with the shoulder check in the corner he straightened himself back up as he curved his hand behind the back of Sophie's neck, while his other hand wrapped around her wrist. Despite being her opponent, Kaoru was gentle with his grip on Sophie as he guided her over towards the the middle of the ropes. He then attempted to Irish Whip her to bounce off the ropes as he marched his way towards the center of the ring. He would then extend his arms out at the approaching Sophie as he would then attempt to scoop her up off of her feet in a colossal frontal bearhug.

[Arjuna]

Sophie struggled to breathe after taking the attack from Kaoru, and as she tried to recover, she was then pulled away from the corner by her opponent before she was sent toward the opposite ropes with an Irish whip. Unable to stop her own momentum, Sophie was sent towards the ropes and rebounded from them, returning back to where Kaoru was, who then caught her with his arms, putting her into a bearhug.

"AAHHHHH!!"

Sophie cried out as her body was scooped up and then squeezed by Kaoru's powerful arms. She threw her head back as she struggled helplessly in her opponent's arms. Things had gotten from bad to worse it seemed.
