Grace Allen vs. "Tigress" Tina Armstrong

[Highfly]

By the time Tina registered what was going on it was too late. "Ugh!" She went down hard, planted to the mat with Grace on top of her! She kicked the mat and tried to weakly to slap in Grace as she laid on her back.

"Get off... shit..." Tina cursed as she laid there, now reeling against Grace in the ring!

[Ironsoldier]

It was quite satisfying, flying through the air and coming down hard across Tina's body, landing atop the Tigress as momentum sent them both down to the mat! Grace didn't waste a second, moving to immediately reach for Tina's right leg and hook the limb while rolling her weight towards the rookies shoulders for the pin. The referee moving quickly into position to begin the count. ONE!

[Highfly]

tina struggled against the pin as Grace held her down firmly! This was a horrible spot for he tigress to be in but she seemed stuck!

"TWO!"

Tina cried out as she thrust up to kick out of the pin, dislodging Grace. Tina rolled to her side and worked her way up to her feet, wincing in pain as she turned to face Grace. "Friggin' lucky..." Tina mumbled, running at Grace as soon as she got the chance, trying to clothesline the woman to the mat!

[Ironsoldier]

Grace slapped the mat in frustration after only managing a two count. She'd hoped that her high flying assault might have actually caught Tina off guard enough to pin the rookie to the mat for good, but part of her knew it wouldn't be that easy. Grace got quickly to her free, "Luck? That was skill no-" She never got to finish the sentence before the Tigress rushed at her, nearly taking the taller girls head off with a clothesline! Grace hit the mat with so much momentum that she rolled backwards and ended up on her belly, groaning as she tried to push herself up after the vicious lariat.

[Highfly]

tina held a fist in the air and cheered out loud! "That's how it's done back home compliments of the UK tigress folks!" She said playing to the crowd a bit. She looked down and saw Grace getting up on her hands and knees, and this was a nice opportunity for Tina! She jumped on top of Grace trying to wrap her arms around Graces's throat and her legs around Grace's ribcage! Tina was going to crush her mid-section and cut off her air supply all at once with a rear naked choke!

"Just tap out my dear Grace! Ya got tons of fight but no one can match my intensity!" Tina called out as she locked in the hold.

[Ironsoldier]

Her eyes shot wide when she realized what Tina was attempting... but too late to do anything about it. The clothesline felt as if it had damn near taken her head off, leaving Grace too disoriented to counter the submission, and before she knew it her dusky skinned body was entangled by the tigress strong arms and legs. It was a miracle that she managed to stay on her hands and knees, avoiding being rolled over. She used her arms to stabilize herself and tucked her chin to make Tina struggle to lock the choke in fully.

Grace knew instinctively there was no way she could do what Tina had done earlier. The rookie powerhouse had hoisted Grace up on her back and carried her clear across the ring. Grace knew she needed a different tactic. With effort, she stood up with Tina clinging to her back, trying her best to drag Grace back down to the mat. Standing forced Grace to expose her throat, and she felt her consciousness teetering within only seconds of the hold being applied. Desperate, she reached up, grabbed Tina by the head with both hands, and dropped down to the mat with all her weight, trying to drive the Tigress chin into her shoulder on the way down with jaw breaker!

[Highfly]

Tina tried to keep Grace from rising but she was unable to. The sudden drop was a shock and then the tigress saw stars! She dropped back like dead weigh, her jaw throbbing as she laid on her back!

Tina was thrown for a loop and barely conscious enough to form a coherent thought.

[Ironsoldier]

Grace dragged herself over to Tina, knowing even now it might be a long shot, but it was still worth the attempt. Not to mention the fact that she felt too dizzy in that moment to trust her legs not to give out. She crawled atop the Tigress until they were breast to breast, dusky skin a sharp contrast to the other girls lighter complexion.

She tried to hook her legs behind Tina's and press the rookies wrists to the mat on either side of her head with a grapevine pin. If secured, the ref would get into position beside them.

ONE.

[Highfly]

Tina was in a daze and felt Grace lay across her chest to go for the pin! She heard the count start and she barely could struggle against it. The first couple counts came and Tina was unable to break out, appearing like a fish flopping out of water. however, at two and a half Tina let out a loud shout as she powered her way out thrusting a shoulder up!

She managed to break the pin but she was still out of it, laying on her back and panting as she tried to recover.

[Ironsoldier]

Grace rolled off of Tina entirely, laying side by side with the Tigress and trying to catch her breath. She couldn't help but thump her fist against the mat in frustration. that was so close! As much as her natural instincts said to go on the offensive, Grace needed a breather as much as Tina. It felt as if they'd been going a hundred miles per hour since the bell rang!

"You know.. you're pretty tough, Tina." She said with a grin, moping beads of sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. "For a rookie."
