Meeting Your Idols: Astrid Ostberg (c) vs. Tina Kelley

[SimplyWoo]

Tina managed to grin in the bridged position, ecstatic that Astrid complimented her on her move. "Thank you." However that didn't last long as Astrid kicked out of the pin attempt at 1, which Tina would have been shocked if Astrid would have been struggling to get out of that pin and that early as well. She however knew that just because she got in one move in, that didn't mean she impressed Astrid or Astrid's fans overall. The belt was on the line, and Tina knew if she even had a remote chance, she needed to keep at it against her rival.

She rose up as Astrid got out of the pin and as Astrid was trying to get up. The bluenette shifted over to get behind the blonde woman as she then clamped her arms around her torso, bringing the two of them back up to a standing position as she tried to flex and squeeze Astrid with a waistlock as her arms tensed and pulled in on Astrid's toned physique.

Astrid had been down for the pin - the champion had been at the mercy of a much less experienced wrestler early into the match. Many in her situation might have found it embarassing - but even as Astrid broke the pin and rolled to her side, when she looked back at Tina, it was with a grin of satisfaction. Astrid knew she had inspired this woman to reach for the top; now, she knew that she had inspired her to such heights that she was even able to get her down for a pin, even if it was barely a one-count. Astrid could only applaud the dedication and commitment Tina had to her training and toward her goals in order to do that!

"Well done!" Astrid cheered, lifting a thumbs-up to Tina. "Of course, we both know we're only getting started, yeah?" She chuckled to herself, spinning herself around further to get on her knees and starting to rise. But Tina was a step ahead of her, throwing her arms around the Norwegian's midsection, and suddenly Astrid found herself hoisted up onto her feet from behind! At first, she winced from the shift in altitude, but she grit her teeth to center herself. She was looking to take back control before Tina had her down for long, and she went to throw an elbow behind her, looking to hit the challenger in the ribs!

[SimplyWoo]

"Absolutely. I wouldn't want to make a rookie mistake. This is the main event after all." She mentioned as she grunted and tried to give Astrid a tight squeeze, though Astrid did a great job of keeping herself centered and soon Tina leaned her upper body a little more into Astrid's back as she let out a grunt as Astrid connected with a elbow to her ribs, which caused Tina's grip to loosen slightly, though Tina would be quick to re-clamp her grip tighter around the Norweigan's core if she didn't capitalize on her strike to the lovely bluenette.

[CaptainL]

"You've...got that right-!" The action of the match was progressing so quickly, Astrid barely had any time to get her words out before Tina circled around her to take hold of her waist, and when she spoke, it came in between groans as the air was being pressed out of her lungs. Her teeth clenched, and one eye squeezed shut as the veins in her neck bulged. If Astrid was able to assess Tina's strength before, when the two were locked up with one another, she was definitely getting a good feel for it now! Astrid's well-sculpted abs proved little defense against the force of Tina's squeeze, sinking down aganst her bulging biceps, and her spine began to creak against the pressure. Tina was definitely proving to be a worthy match for Astrid in terms of her physical capabilities - the hard part was going to be beating her in those respects!

Astrid managed to swing an elbow behind her, catching Tina in the ribs. In that instant, the pressure of her hold began to let up - and that was all the Norsewoman needed! She knew she had her window of opportunity with which to take back control, and she was quick to make her move, swinging her arm upward to wrap it around Tina's head. If that worked, she would kick out with her legs to fall to the mat, attempting to drive Tina's chin downward onto her shoulder with a stunner!

[SimplyWoo]

Tina was surprised as she felt her head get hooked and suddenly felt Astrid's weight shift as Astrid kicked her legs out, not expecting the sudden shift of gravity as Tina's upper body dropped for her chin to slam down on Astrid's shoulder. She immediately released Astrid as her body rocked back up from the impact and kept going until she switched from standing to falling backwards as she landed on the mat with her arms stretched out to her sides. "Agh, damn, nice counter." Tina mentioned as she brought one hand to rub her chin as she pushed herself up to a sitting position with her back facing towards Astrid.

[CaptainL]

Tina had managed to secure a strong position from the start of the match, getting her arms around Astrid's waist and twisting her back against her body. However, she had made one mistake - she hadn't bothered to restrain the Norsewoman's arms. And Astrid was about to prove to her what a mistake that was! She swung an elbow behind her, which landed against Tina's ribs with a thud - but the real impact was soon to come, as she pulled her opponent's head against her shoulder, then kicked off her feet to drive her chin down against the bone for a stunner!

Sure enough, Astrid felt the weight of her opponent's body give way as her arms slipped from her side, and she dropped to her back behind her. Astrid was quick to collect herself now that she was free, dusting herself off and shaking herself out as she rose to her knees on the mat and turned around. However, when she looked up, she saw that Tina was still seated, with her back turned to her - and that made Astrid smirk. The opening here was perfect, and she would be a fool not to take advantage of it!

"Why, thank you!" Astrid said, just before she threw herself closer! Her chest pressed up against Tina's back as she leaned in close, and her arm slung around her throat, pulling it backward into a sleeperhold before she tensed up her muscles to tighten the pressure! "But are you really going to let your guard down around me? If you're after my title, I'm sure there must be a reason, no?"

Astrid was sure that if Tina had her sights on the championship, and if she had studied Astrid's moves and strategies for so long, she wouldn't have made what seemed to be such a rookie mistake! But if Tina was going to rise to the challenge, Astrid wanted to bring that out of her!

[SimplyWoo]

With Tina it wasn't letting her guard down as much as the impact of the stunner left her still trying to recover. However the page also goes the other way as far as studying moves and strategies, for if Astrid was to have studied Tina, she would no that slapping a sleeper on Tina, usually results in Tina fighting her damndest to immediately get out of it. As the hold was clutched in, Tina would be gritting her teeth in anger as she she gripped at Astrid's arms as she would grunt with effort to force herself back up to her feet with the chant of her fans. She would then reach down to curve her arms around Astrid's thighs and lift them up to carry Astrid piggyback style as she would then rush forward towards one of the corner turnbuckles and twist around at the last second to ram them back first into the corner. The momentum should be much more effective then to try to run backwards and attempt the ram in that manner as Tina fought to break free from the hold she disliked so severely.

[CaptainL]

Astrid saw her opportunity, and she was quick to close in on it. Soon enough, she was seeing the fruits of her labor - she had her arm clamped shut around Tina's throat, holding the pressure down firmly to wring the air out of the challenger's lungs! Sure enough, Tina began to twist and turn from side to side, fighting with all her might to break free. Astrid wanted to see how she would respond to test if she truly was worthy of bearing her title - but so far, the Norwegian wasn't all that impressed. She knew that flailing mindlessly would only serve to exhaust Tina's energy, leaving her in an even worse position. If she really wanted to get out of this, then she had to have a trick up her sleeve.

But true to form, Tina delivered! She managed to grab onto Astrid's arms with white-knuckle force, pushing herself back up. At first, the blonde attempted to wrench back on her neck to keep her under control, but before she knew it, Tina was already to her feet, forcing Astrid up after her in order to adapt to the motion - and the crowd was cheering even louder, seeing her power through even Astrid's crushing grip! Even Astrid herself was amazed, looking on with wide eyes and a mouth agape - if Tina was capable of such things, she had to be strong indeed. In fact, she was so taken aback that she didn't realize that Tina was already setting up her counter - but soon, she felt her arms wrap around her legs, pulling her up higher!

Astrid felt her feet leave the ground, leaving her teetering in Tina's grasp. If Tina had seemed strong before, that was nothing compared to now, where everyone could see she was capable of holding a heavyweight like Astrid up in the air, even while the champion had her arms clinging tenaciously to her throat. Gritting her teeth in frustration, Astrid attempted to squeeze down even harder to try and resist Tina's attempts to overpower her, the muscles in her arms pressing tightly against her opponent's throat. But Tina had already taken off, charging straight across the ring - and slamming Astrid's back up against the turnbuckles!

The Norsewoman cried out in pain, her body buckling inward from the force of the impact as her spine shuddered. At last, her arm went slack, and as it dropped to the side she was forced to abandon her hold on Tina as she began to sink lower into the canvas beneath.

[SimplyWoo]

As Tina rammed Astrid, she gasped out as she felt Astrid release the sleeper, panting a little as her breasts heaved up and down to catch her breath as she remained with her back pressed against Astrid, she felt Astrid try to slump down and she reached out to grip the middle top rope at each of her sides as she wiggled her rear to press into Astrid's lap and pushed upward to try to keep Astrid from slumping to a sitting position, wanting to keep her standing. She then thrusted her hips forward before she thrusted her rear hard into Astrid's midsection, trying ram her idol hard enough to make Astrid's feet rise up from the mat and sandwich Astrid to the point of where her rear poked out from between the top and middle rope to pretty much be sitting on the second turnbuckle.

[CaptainL]

Astrid had gone down in the corner, still reeling from the impact her spine had made with the turnbuckle. As Tina let her go, she slowly sank down toward the mat, slumped heavily against the post as her head rest limply on her shoulder. But Tina wasn't done yet! Now that she had Astrid backed into the corner, she wasn't about to let her go free so soon. She had plenty of plans, and she was ready to put them into practice!

Tina shoved her hips backward, smacking them against Astrid's abdomen with the sound of body meeting body. The blonde bucked backward with a gasp, and as Tina's behind bounced off of her abs, she let out a groan as the air was knocked out of her lungs. And from there, Tina would only push back harder and apply upward force at the same time! Little by little, Astrid was pushed inward more and more. With only her own backside, Tina had Astrid shoved between the ropes, wedging her into position!

The crowd let out a cheer at Tina's display, not to mention that of Astrid's glutes poking out of the ring. But Astrid was beginning to come back to her senses, only to find her body folded in half! Springing to life as her eyes blinked open wide, she began to struggle, kicking her legs in the air and reaching out with her arms, but for now, between her fatigue and Tina's weight, she wasn't going far. She could only cough and gag from the pressure on her diaphragm, waiting for what might happen next!
