[Standard Match] Astrid Arvidsson vs Aurora Lund - About ups and downs (Apex Qualifier Match)

[skip-stop]

Even after the referee slapped the mat for the second time, Astrid still didn't feel any resistance from her opponent. This led her to two opposite thoughts. Either the damage was too significant for Aurora, or she was gathering her strength. The Golden Dragon was not going to count on the first option, so she tensed up, strengthening her grip in order to keep the Swedish woman in place at the moment when the referee's hand went to the mat for the third time.

But before the palm of the striped shirt reached the surface, Aurora jerked violently to the side and straightened her legs. The pin was broken, and the Golden Dragon found herself on the back half a meter away from her opponent. Accompanied by cheers from the audience, the referee raised her hand and showed only two fingers. Well, it seems the match is far from over. And this brought a smile to Astrid's face, because she always loved difficulties.

Pushing off the mat with her hands, she got up on one knee and looked at Aurora lying on her side. Despite the fact that the Swedish woman broke the pin, it didn't look like she was ready for action. Astrid intended to make sure that everything would stay that way. So she reached out to the veteran in order to grab her elbow and shoulder.

Rising to her feet, the descendant of the great Vikings wanted to pull Aurora up with force in order to make her take an upright position. And if she hadn't met significant resistance, she would have left one hand on her opponent's shoulder while her other hand went between Aurora's legs.

Astrid was going to pick up her opponent, then turn her over and put her across the right shoulder. She had already realized that Aurora had a lot of stamina, despite her age, and she had an idea about how to cope with it. Grasping the torso of the Swedish woman, the Golden Dragon intended to sharply fall forward in order to first throw her on the mat, and then crush Aurora with her weight, because it was nothing more than a front powerslam.

[Devastated]

Aurora put a whole lot of power into thrusting her shoulders up and kicking Astrid off of her, shoving the Norwegian youngster away and breaking the pin count. The cheers of the crowd rained down around them as it looked as if the match was going to continue, with the referee raising their hand up into the air and showing that the pin had only been a two count. Yet, Aurora remained on her back, she decided to take a breather...she had learned much from Astrid's assault, foremost of which that Astrid was as fearsome or even more so of an opponent than Aurora had expected.

When Astrid approached and grabbed at her arm, pulling the older blonde up towards her feet. Aurora would steel her mind, focusing on finding the right moment to counter attack. She needed to be careful though, if she gauged it wrong then she could end up taking another powerful move at the hands of the Golden Dragon!

She felt Astrid's arm slip in between her legs and another around her shoulder. Her feet left the canvas and she was brought up and turned over across Astrid's right shoulder...That was the moment! Aurora's arms shot down to Astrid's shoulders and shoved, trying to push herself off Astrid and land on her feet behind the Norwegian! The arms of Aurora then sought to snap around Astrid's waist, hugging her younger foe in close for but a moment, before Aurora's would try and lift and swing them both backwards! Trying to throw Astrid with a release German Suplex straight down into the canvas!

They say that when everything goes too smoothly, it means something is definitely wrong. Perhaps Astrid should have paid her attention on this, because by the time she lifted Aurora to her feet, everything was really going very smoothly. Despite the fact that she grabbed her opponent by the elbow and shoulder, and not by the hair, she had no reason to be delicate with the other blonde. And perhaps before lifting the veteran on her shoulder, she should have sent a punch or two to Aurora's face.

However, the Golden Dragon didn't feel any resistance and therefore decided not to be tougher than necessary. Grabbing Aurora between her legs, the descendant of the great Vikings lifted her rival into the air, and then placed her on the right shoulder, preparing to throw her down. However, before this happened, the Golden Dragon felt a push in her shoulders, and a moment later Aurora's weight disappeared from her shoulder.

Quickly realizing what had just happened, Astrid was clearly aware of the need to turn around. Aurora, in her turn, did not give her such an opportunity, in the blink of an eye, the Swedish woman pressed her breasts against Astrid's back, at the same time wrapping her arms around the waist of the Golden Dragon.

Clenching her fist, the blonde immediately sent her elbow back in an attempt to hit the veteran in the head. But even here Aurora was too fast. Thanks to her experience, she literally did not leave a window for the Golden Dragon to counterattack. And before Astrid's elbow smashed into Aurora's head, she leaned back, lifting Astrid into the air and sending her straight to the mat.

"GHHAA!!!" Briefly, but painfully, she screamed.

The upper part of the Golden Dragon's body crashed into the mat with a bang, and due to the fact that Aurora did not hold her, Astrid turned over and ended up on her stomach. The blonde put her hand on the back of her head because it was this part of her body that suffered the most.

"Damn..." she muttered.

The pain returned to her in the company of a slight dizziness that made her clench her teeth. Aurora clearly intended to get back into the game, but it wasn't something Astrid was going to let her do easily. Therefore, she put her palms on the mat and began to get to her feet in an attempt to prevent the veteran from establishing leadership in this match.

[Devastated]

Astrid was not a light girl to throw around, she was a powerfully built and voluptuous woman. Throwing around some skinny and less muscular woman was of course much easier...but...there was just a certain feeling that Aurora couldn't deny was great. That feeling was throwing someone as big and powerful as Astrid through the air and feeling the impact shake the ring when they were slammed into the canvas. It also helped that Aurora was a very powerful woman, she was more than capable of throwing someone of even Astrid's impressive physique around!

Aurora now had the chance to turn things in her favor, the release German Suplex had given them a bit of separation...but Aurora knew that she needed to get up on her feet and keep the pressure on Astrid! She rose up to a stand, brought her arm up and wiped a few drops of sweat from her forehead as she would watch Astrid begin to push up to her hands and knees.

The Swedish wrestler would step in, trying to grab a hold of Astrid by her head and guide her up. Trying to force the Norwegian's head in under her left armpit as she'd try and lock her into a frontal face lock. Aurora moved like a well-oiled machine, seasoned experience had given her movements a certain grace. As she would swing Astrid's arm over her own head and then grab at the waistline of Astrid's pants! Aurora would try to lift her rival up into the air and hold her upside down in that position for a couple of seconds, looking to allow the blood to rush down into Astrid's head before the veteran sought to bring Astrid down with a stalling vertical suplex!

Someone might have ventured to say that Astrid is new to pro wrestling compared to Aurora. And although there was probably some truth in this from a certain point of view, Astrid would have no qualms about hitting anyone in the face who dared to say that. Yes, she didn't have twenty years of experience under her belt, but her MMA days were not in vain, not to mention that she had been training harder than ever in her life for the last year.

MMA and pro wrestling had both a lot of differences and a lot in common. Some things were natural for any kind of contact sport. When you miss a punch, you open up the opportunity for your opponent to continue attacking with more ferocity. And although in this particular case Astrid missed not a punch, but a German suplex, this did not change the essence at all. Even despite the dizziness and pain in her body, she knew for sure that Aurora would continue her offensive. That is why the descendant of the great Vikings tried to take an upright position as soon as possible.

It was hard to tell if the Golden Dragon had overestimated her capabilities or not, but the fact was that as soon as she managed to get up on one knee, her opponent was already there. Aurora really acted as smoothly and efficiently as possible, which perfectly showed that her every move was honed as hell. The other blonde wrapped her arm around Astrid's neck and, once again demonstrating outstanding strength, squeezed it so hard that the Golden Dragon took her breath away.

“Ghhhhh...”

Astrid grabbed her opponent's wrist with one hand, and pressed her other hand against Aurora's thigh, trying to push her away. However, it quickly became clear that Astrid did not have time to recover at all. Her strength was not enough to stop the honored veteran. To the loud screams of the audience, she grabbed the edge of Astrid's pants, and then lifted her up, first just over the mat, and then literally upside down.

In the blink of an eye, the Norwegian woman's face turned red like a tomato. She could hear the audience getting louder, and then it all changed to an annoying squeak. She knew very well what that meant. Blood rushed to her head and created internal pressure. At some point, it seemed to her that her head would just explode and that was the second Aurora chose to lean back. Astrid's body crashed into the mat with a bang. And this time she was in no hurry to get to her feet. Lying with her arms and legs spread to the sides, she just gulped air, trying to cope with the pain that filled her body.

[Devastated]

Aurora's experience was starting to pay off in this match, she had Astrid in her grasp right now as her arm squeezed tightly around that head and neck. As Astrid struggled to free herself, Aurora would take command of the situation even further as she reached down for the pants of Astrid and hiked her up into the air with a show of strength! The Veteran wrestler held Astrid upside down, on display for the crowd as she showed off her power...a sight which had the crowd cheering and shouting wildly.

Though like all things, it would soon come to an end. Aurora decided to lean back and dropped Astrid down on her back with that devastating delayed vertical suplex! The impact caused the ropes to shake a bit, and Aurora pushed up to a seated position and looked over her shoulder at the downed Astrid. She took a second to admire her handiwork...before she decided to rise up to her feet and reached down for Astrid's head.

She decided to try and guide her up towards her feet, where the Legend would try and slip one arm in between the legs of the Golden Dragon. Trying to cup her rear as the other arm of Aurora would go over the fellow Northerner's shoulder. Aurora would try and pick Astrid up into the air and tilt her upside down. Holding her there for a second or two...Aurora would decide to charge forward and try to ring right into the nearest turnbuckle, trying to ram Astrid back first into it and flatten her between the older woman's body and the turnbuckle. If successful, Aurora would try and hook Astrid's legs up with the top ropes to try and place her in a tree of woe position.

[skip-stop]

Astrid was in a very bad condition. After Aurora took the lead, things got worse and worse for the descendant of the great Vikings, and the last hard throw literally knocked the spirit out of the Golden Dragon. Lying on the mat and gasping for air, she clearly realized that she had made a big mistake by missing the advantage over her experienced rival.

Given the success of the Swedish woman, many were sure that the moment had come when she would try to take the victory. But instead of lying on top of Astrid and grabbing her leg, the veteran decided that all this was not enough. Without giving the Golden Dragon a second's rest, she almost immediately grabbed her head and pulled her up.

There was no question of any resistance from Astrid at that moment. The pain made her body feel like cotton wool, while her head still hadn't come back to normal after the suplex. Even with a bare eye, no one had any problems seeing that Astrid did not provide her rival with any help and that Aurora had to lift the Norwegian woman to her feet on her own.

And when the veteran once again turned the Golden Dragon upside down, many, including Astrid herself, were sure that this would be followed by a body slam or even something heavier like a Michinoku drivier. But no. It turned out to be much worse. For Astrid, of course. After holding the blonde in this position for a few more seconds, Aurora rushed to the nearest corner, slamming the Golden Dragon's back into the turnbuckles.

"Aaaggghhhaaa!!!"

This literally squeezed the air out of Astrid's lungs, while her body involuntarily tensed, causing her to hang on the ropes. When she was upside down for the third time in one minute, she felt darkness begin to envelop her gaze. But unfortunately, at that moment she couldn't do anything about the position she found herself in. The position Aurora wanted her to be in.

[Devastated]

Aurora charged at the corner as she carried Astrid in her arms, going at full speed as she drove Astrid's back into the turnbuckle and flattened her opponent between the corner and the veteran's own body! Aurora huffed out as she decided to keep her body pressed firmly against Astrid's and started to hook those legs up against the top turnbuckle and ropes. After a couple of seconds Aurora had fitted Astrid to the corner in a tree-of-woe position!

The older blonde would then start to back up, with Astrid in a compromising position like this Aurora hoped that she wouldn't be able to free anytime soon. After all, the Swede wanted to show the Norwegian powerhouse just why she was a living legend in this industry. So, Aurora would create some distance between them, as she made her way to the opposing corner and would crouch down a little...before she lunged forward and went for a sprint! Charging towards Astrid at full speed, the mighty Aurora Lund would try to close the distance and then dive in. She aimed to drive her shoulder right into the upside down Astrid's belly for a high impact spear!

[skip-stop]

Considering how much damage Astrid got in such a short period of time, it was surprising that she didn't lose consciousness after Aurora slammed her into the turnbuckles. However, there was no point in denying it, Astrid was very close to losing consciousness. Her head felt like it was filled with lead, while there was nothing but mist in her eyes.

She did not even fully understand the position in which she found herself, because for her the world had literally turned upside down. She had to force herself to take several deep breaths in order to clear her vision. But when she started to see a clear picture again, she didn't like what she saw.

Aurora was running towards her from the opposite side of the ring like a locomotive on rails. And before the Golden Dragon could do anything, her opponent's shoulder slammed into her stomach. Even her steel abs couldn't protect her at that moment.

A scream stuck in her throat, her eyes widened. The blonde's body turned to stone for a moment, and then completely went limp. It would have been enough for Aurora to take just one step back and then Astrid's body would simply collapse onto the mat.

[Devastated]

Aurora had gotten Astrid lined up into the perfect position as she had her tied up in that upside down position, hanging off the corner in that tree of woe position. The older woman would get herself into position as she then took to charge at full speed towards Astrid. Charging forward and then drove her full weight and power into Astrid's midsection. Hammering her shoulder into the abs of the Golden Dragon with a spear that had the crowd wincing in sympathy for the younger blonde!

The Veteran kept her shoulder against Astrid's body for a couple of seconds to keep her hanging. She'd and give her move some emphasis with the crowd. After which she would step back and watch as Astrid's body collapsed onto the canvas. Aurora would back up and attempt to reach down for Astrid's head, trying to guide her up towards her feet. The older blonde would try and guide Astrid to her feet as well and pull them a bit away from the corner, before aiming to force Astrid's head in between her thighs. Clamping those thick thighs of her's around Astrid's head as she would then lean forward and wrap her arms around the younger blonde's waist.

With a heave Aurora would try to lift Astrid up and roll her onto her shoulders, where the Legend would try and then take a step forward before she sought to bring down Astrid back first into the mat with a thunderous powerbomb!
