Trisha Andrews vs. Sheila Chihara - Strength of Will

[Arjuna]

Taken down by Sheila's arm drag, Trisha tried to pull her arm back, but her opponent was quick enough to take advantage of her current position as she began maneuvering herself around her arm, putting the arm between her legs. Sheila managed to lock the African-American wrestler into an armbar, and Trisha could feel the pressure coming as Sheila began to put the pressure into the hold.

"Nnnghhhh..."

Knowing that she couldn't simply use brute force to get herself out of this predicament, Trisha decided to go for a safer option. Using her legs, she would begin moving herself, albeit slowly. Pressing the flat of her feet on the mat, she would attempt to drag herself towards the nearest ropes, though she wasn't sure how long she had to endure the hold before she could reach the ropes.

Having been swept on her feet, Trisha's priorities lay in righting herself and recovering from her fall. But Sheila was quicker to spring to action, and she soon chained the arm drag into an armbar, locking her legs around her opponent's arm before she dropped back to put on the pressure! Squeezing her thighs closer together, Sheila trapped Trisha's limb in place as she twisted herself backward and arched up with her spine, trying to put as much force on her elbow joint as she could muster.

Sheila's teeth were clenched. She knew she was up against an uphill battle taking on a veteran, but she felt that if she could hold this up long enough, she might be able to even the odds! She was so lost in her thoughts, however, that she barely noticed she was moving - until Trisha at last steered herself back to the ropes, and a voice cut the air.

"ROPE BREAK!"

"Huh..?" Confused, Sheila looked around. Sure enough, she was by the ropes, and Trisha was hanging on to them. "But how did I get here? A minute ago, I was-"

"Rope break! Let go, Sheila! One! Two!"

"Sorry, sorry!" Sheila abruptly released her opponent, dropping back to the mat in the process. She scrambled over onto all fours, beginning to crawl away.

[Arjuna]

As she was trapped in the armbar, Trisha moved herself towards the ropes, which was already quite an arduous task, but eventually, she managed to reach the ropes, and she grabbed onto the bottom one, giving herself a rope break. Sheila herself didn't realize what was happening until the referee pointed it out to her. She immediately released Trisha's arm right away, freeing her from the armbar. Sighing out in relief, Trisha would pull herself back up onto her feet, wincing a little as she clenched and unclenched the hand of the arm that was put into the armbar earlier.

Once she was on her feet, Trisha looked at the direction of Sheila, who had already rolled away and gotten herself on all four. Impressed by her move, Trisha said, "Not bad. Keep this up, and you'll probably stand a chance." Such a thing was worth complimenting, though Trisha was confident in her ability to win this match. Rolling her shoulder a little, she would then step away from the ropes, looking to approach her opponent, hoping to continue her clash with her. She was getting excited now, and she wanted to see what the young lioness had to offer.

[CaptainL]

Sheila was committed to holding onto Trisha as long as she could, refusing to budge or to give her opponent any room to resist. If she could, Sheila would have kept her hold up until Trisha's endurance broke, her stubbornness and unfatiguing willpower fueling her. But it wouldn't be Trisha who would break the hold, but the rules of the match, as the veteran found her way to the ropes and managed to secure a rope break. Now, Sheila rolled aside, getting back up to her feet.

As Sheila rose, she saw how Trisha was slower and more labored in her recovery, still coming off the sore sensation of having her arm wrenched between the Australian's legs. That would do well for Sheila, whose opponent was now lagging a step behind her. If she kept that up and pressed the advantage, she could stand a chance.

It also pleased Sheila to hear Trisha's praise for her, and she smiled wider with a nod at the sound of her compliments. "Okay! Thank you! I'll try to keep it up, then!" she called back. As Trisha came closer, Sheila followed her, her head down and her stance readied as she watched her carefully in the hopes of countering anything that might be thrown her way. But when Trisha wouldn't make the first move, it was up to Sheila to start things off - and she was quick to come charging toward her foe, arm raised. If she was able to reach Trisha, Sheila was planning to swing it out to strike her with a lariat!

[Arjuna]

Carefully watching her opponent, Trisha tried to predict what Sheila was about to do. She had decided to wait for her opponent to make her first move, and when she saw Sheila stepping forward, extending out her arm for a lariat, Trisha would make her move as she would duck under the arm, avoiding the lariat. From there, she would try to slip past her opponent, moving behind her.

Moving herself behind Sheila, Trisha would try to catch her from behind, wrapping her arms around her waist from behind in a rear waist lock. Pressing her ample bust against Sheila's back, Trisha would then attempt to hoist her opponent up, throwing her over her head in a German suplex, sending her crashing down on the back of her shoulders and neck. She would also release her body right away upon impact.

[CaptainL]

For Sheila, everything seemed to work out in her mind's eye. She didn't see how this could go wrong. Trisha was weakened and winded by her time in the armbar, and now, it was Sheila's chance to close in and cut her off with her agility and quick reflexes. She came dashing in, arm drawn back, as she anticipated when her lariat would strike Trisha across the chest...

So, naturally, it caught Sheila off-guard when her opponent simply ducked down and dodged the incoming blow. Now left skidding to a stop with her arm in the air, the Australian was left bewildered, and she realized that she didn't have a backup plan. She probably should have taken that into account before she had come charging closer and left herself exposed to a counter-attack, Sheila thought to herself. Unfortunately, it was a bit late to change that.

Before Sheila could get out of the way, Trisha was already closing in behind her, and she reached forward to latch onto her waist, causing the girl to let out a gasp as she was hoisted off her feet. The next thing she knew, she was being thrown back in an arc over Trisha's shoulders, and then she came down hard on her own! "OOFF-!" she groaned, her legs folding over her body as she came down with a crash. As Trisha released her, Sheila flopped limply to her back, her arms and legs splayed around her as she stared up at the lights through half-lidded eyes.

[Arjuna]

Sending Sheila over with a German suplex, sending her down onto the mat, Trisha released her body right away, huffing slightly as she would push herself back up. She then rolled the shoulder of the arm that was put through the armbar earlier as she rose back up on her feet. Seeing the downed body of Sheila, Trisha would then approach her, standing next to her before bending down, grabbing her by her arm and head, pulling her back up onto her feet.

"It's my turn now, sugarbun..." Trisha told Sheila as she would secure her grip on her head. Then, she would drag her towards the nearest corner, planning to ram her into the turnbuckle. She would try to have Sheila rammed into the turnbuckle chest first so that her back would be facing her. She was certain that by ramming her there, she would be stunned, which would allow Trisha to prepare for her next course of actions.

[CaptainL]

True to Trisha's word, it was indeed her turn to take control. Sheila had enjoyed some good fortune up until this point, but the pendulum was swinging back in the veteran's favor - Sheila had done all right avoiding her blows up to this point, but when Trisha did hit, she hit hard. A fact the young Australian was quick to discover!

Being dropped on her skull made Sheila dazed and groggy. She tossed her head back and forth on the mat in an attempt to rouse some feeling back into her, but it proved useless, and Trisha was able to drag her back to her feet before she could shake the cobwebs out of her head. Sheila rose, groaning and wincing. Her thoughts were traveling at a step behind what was going on outside of her, and she didn't know that Trisha was carrying her toward the turnbuckles - up until it happened!

"G-GAAAAHHH!!" A tremor wracked Sheila's body as she came crashing into the corner post, her sternum connecting with the hard surface. She clenched her teeth and shuddered as she fell forward, landing with her arms draped over the ropes and her pert behind sticking out beneath her as she slumped forward against the pads. Her body rose and fell with labored breaths as she tried to center herself, but for now, she was wide open to Trisha's next move!

[Arjuna]

Trisha dragged the younger woman towards the corner before sending her chest first into the turnbuckle, and she had no doubt that the move had taken a significant amount of strength out of her. Seeing that Sheila slumped forward against the turnbuckle, Trisha decided that it was time for her to continue with her attack. Stepping quickly to the back, she would distance herself from Sheila as she would move towards the opposite corner, preparing herself to break into a sprint.

Having taken those steps back, Trisha would then run towards Sheila, who was currently at the corner. She would try to make use of her momentum for her next attack, and as she got closer to her opponent, she would then leap up and attempt to hit her opponent with a running dropkick, aimed to her back. While she would land on her back, she had no doubt that the dropkick would deal a massive damage on her opponent if it connected. She was counting on that fact as she would quickly push herself up in preparation for her next attack.

[CaptainL]

Sheila was still reeling from where she had been rammed into the turnbuckles, a shiver going down her spine as she dangled limply from the ropes. She winced and groaned under her breath, telling herself she needed to shrug off the pain enough to fight back; her opponent, surely, would give her no mercy. Yet, each time Sheila tried to move, to push herself up from the ropes, the soreness caught up to her and she shrank back down with a pained hiss. She panted for breath; she couldn't bring herself to get up, even when she desperately needed it!

She could only glance back over her shoulder nervously as she felt Trisha's presence growing closer and closer, bearing down on her from behind. Her eyes widened as she saw just how close her opponent was to her - and then, she felt it. Trisha kicked off the ground, throwing herself at Sheila with a running dropkick, and her feet buried in the Australian's back, slamming against her spine. If that wasn't bad enough, Sheila was being catapulted into the corner, squashing her in between Trisha and the hard, unforgiving ring post! A scream ripped from her lungs, and she collapsed to the mat with her body bent, her knees below her and her hips raised in the air. Sheila was still reeling from the impact, and a prime target for further attack.
