Hard Rock: Dita Ibarra-Espinosa vs. Raven Thompson

[Sigma Morgan]

Raven saw her opponent side step her charge wrapping her are around her midsection before lifting her up and sending her back down onto the mat. "Ugggghhhh" Raven let out as the air was knocked from her lungs from the impact she rolled onto her side gripping her back from the painful impact trying to catch her breath. So far this match was going turning out to be a shitshow for Raven coming up with a plan, Raven intended to trip her opponent when she approached her.

[ReticentCone]

With another move landed Dita was feelimg confident. Raven landed anything on her so far, just taken a hard punch and slam to her back. As Rhythm sat up from the suplex, she thought of reaching into her right boot. A keen eye might have noticed a slight bulge in around the same place in the fronts of her wrestling boots, infact. However she decided against it. She would keep those tricks in place for now.

Instead when she got to her feet, she walked over to her fallen oppenent. Somewhat uncharacteristically, she was intendeding to do nothing more complex than booting Raven with a soccer kick to the face, though she would aim for her mouth.

"Eat my foot!" Dita would yell. Unfortunately during her back swing, Raven would trip her to the ground.

[Sigma Morgan]

Seeing her plan to trip her opponent worked Raven would move quickly to stand up. Looking at her opponent on the ground Raven would stomp on her opponents back as hard as possible before backing up and taking a fighting stance waiting for her opponent to recover from the stomp. "Doesn't feel good does it?" Raven would ask tauntingly waiting for her opponent to get up.

[ReticentCone]

Unsurprisingly, soon after Dita hit the ground, Raven took the opportunity to attack her stmping down hard into her back.

"Ahhhh" she cried out in pain, the mostly fresh Raven bad plenty if energy to drivr her boot hard into Dita's back. First the sammler woman reached for her back, then she covered her head for a moment, but them looked around to see where Raven was, flinching as she did.

But Raven chose not to follow up her attack, instead standing back to mock her. This was a mistake, as far as Dita was concerned, but one she was grateful for. She'd take her time to recover from the stomp. The ginger would not even get to her feet. She would remain partially kneeling, smiling as she turned to her opponent.

"You should have kept attacking me, you're not that smart, are you, Raven?" Dita would say with a smirk.

[Sigma Morgan]

Raven did have to admit not pressing the attack was a mistake but not a fatal one. "No, I just wanted to make sure I didn't break you too early, you seem quite fragile honey" Raven said trying to play it off as if she knew it wasn't a mistake letting Dita recover. "Come on get on your feet show me what you can really do" Raven said raising her arm up to challenge Dita to a test of strength confident her size would give her the advantage if Dita accepted.

[ReticentCone]

Dita laughed in response to Raven's answer. If she wanted waste opportunities, that was fine enough for the redhead. Rhythm wouldn't waste hers.

"Just a little warning, I'll break you as soon as I get the chance." She'd reply.

Dita recognized what Raven was looking to do when she put her arm forward. She wanted a tie-up. The Chilean would get up to her feet in response.

"I see, you want to test your strength against this." She'd say, drawing her hands down in front of her torso as though revealing her abs.

"You'll regret it." Dita said in a tone much more meancing than she usually used.

She'd make her way to Raven to 'accept' her challenge. First, she'd meet Raven's hand with one of her own, but then she would attempt to use her quickness to slam her free hand into Raven's neck to choke her.

[Sigma Morgan]

Raven smiled at her opponent showing off her abs. "Don't worry I'll punish those by the end of the match" Raven said as she waited for her opponent to lock up with her grabbing her one hand Raven saw her opponents other hand heading for her neck as she grabbed her by the wrist staring into her opponents eyes. "You really think I was gonna just going to do this fairly?" Raven asked with an evil smirk before sending kick into her opponents abs and then letting go of her opponents wrist to throw an elbow at her opponents head.

[ReticentCone]

In Dita's view, anything that fell in the confines of the rules, no matter how underhanded or dangerous, counted as fair to her.

So in hardcore no disqualification, well, just about anything was fair. Which is why she tried to choke Raven after feigning accepting a tie-up. Unfortunately for Dita, however Raven beat her to the underhanded tactics. First she kicked her in her torso, which resulting in the redhead leting out a pained yelp.

Vulnerable, Raven would then let go of her wrist to elbow her hard in her head. As painful as it was to be on tp takeuú the blow only hit her forehead, rather than her face, but it was still bad enough to leave Dita reeling rather than striking back.

[Sigma Morgan]

With her opponent appearing stunned Raven would move behind her opponent wrapping her arms around her opponents waist. "Payback time slut" Raven whispered in her opponents ear. If successful Raven would return the favor for the earlier German suplex sending her opponent onto the mat hard.

[ReticentCone]

While Raven had certainly put Dita on the backfoot with her kick and the elbow to her hear, she had by no means rendered the woman defenseless. Her time in boxing had trained her to take multiple blows to the head and keep on ticking, nevermind only one.

So when Raven moved behind her, Dita would attempt subtly force her to start the lift from slightly to the side instead of directly behind. She'd also try to use her feet and torso to add spin to the lift. If all went well, at the peak of the lift, Rhytmn would be positioned to wrap her arms around Raven...

to reverse her suplex into a brutal flying DDT!
