The Dragon's resolve!

[Teenwrestler]

Ryu was being relentless in the bearhug, he was not letting go at all as he knew he had to pick up the second point in this match. He squeezed the strong woman as much as he could but Karen was not going to give up a second time this easily. She would fight back and despite her sore back, she would muster a comeback and not give up to the Dragon's submission. She would start to grab his arms and slowly open them up from around her waist, shocking Ryu who was surprised that the German woman still had the strength to keep up against the veteran wrestler like him.

Finally, she would break open his grip and then force him back while she fell to her knees. "Tch, you may have managed to escape but you dont have any fight left in you Karen" he would say as he reached down to grab her sweaty hair and pull her back up to her feet as Ryu tried to wrap his arm around her head for a tight headlock. He would drag her around the ring, wrenching her head under his strong bicep while forcing her to bend forward.

"Do you submit?" he asked again.

When Karen fell to her knees, she tried to recover, but it was very short lived, because a few seconds later she felt her opponent grab her by the hair and pull her up because he wanted the German to get up immediately. Aaaggghh...!!!!

The enemy's massive arm wrapped around the German woman's head and neck and tightened. Ryu seemed to start pulling with all his might and dragging Karen across the ring. Karen was panting heavily, trying to tear away that strong, muscular arm with one hand and free her neck and head, but Ryu pulled even further and further. Sweat flooded the German woman's body. Karen heard Ryu shouting something that he should give up, Karen would try to endure this torture for a while, but if it doesn't end soon, who knows, maybe she will have to tap a second time...

Ryu knew that he had Karen on the ropes, he could not let her rest otherwise she may muster a comeback in this match. As Karen was down on her knee, still struggling from the effects of the bearhug, Ryu would grab her hair and pull her up. From there, he would lock his massive arms around her head and neck for a tight headlock to force her to bend down while he squeezed her. He wanted to slow the pace of the match down as if he got a submission near the end of the time limit, there would be no chance for Karen to even the score or win. The German would struggle as she would grab his arm and pull at it, she was sweating hard and panting heavily as it was clear that her strength was fading.

Ryu would then let her go and ram his knee up into her belly before attempting a quick vertical suplex while he still had her head trapped under his arm.

Karen seemed to lose her strength. Ryu tugged at her body and dragged her around the ring, still trying to weaken her, tightening his massive, muscular arm around the German's neck. Karen seemed exhausted. She couldn't take that damned arm off her neck.

Uuuugghhhh...!!!! Just then, the enemy's knee connected with Karen's stomach. The German woman trembled. However, Ryu was still blocking Karen's neck and head. Then she felt a tug and a tug upwards. Her feet left the mat and went high up. Events happened so quickly that Karen didn't have time to react. For a moment she seemed to stop in this position with her legs stretched vertically up, only to fall to the mat with a loud crash. Gggrrrrhhh...!!!!

The impact was terrible. Pain shot through her body. Especially since her back seemed weak from the bear hug earlier. For a moment Karen lay still, as if she couldn't move....

While Ryu was now coming back in this match, Karen seemed to be losing her strength. He bullied her in the headlock and dragged her along the ring to show that he could still wrestle, Karen was struggling to escape and finally, the Dragon would ram his knee into her firm abdomen before delivering a harsh suplex! Karen's back would slam against the mat with a loud crash as she howled in pain.

"Where has all your arrogance gone woman? I told you I will win this match" Ryu would say as he quickly laid across her chest and would slap the mat to count like a referee. "One....Two...." he counted, trying to pick up the second point in this intense match.

[armandi]

When Karen landed with a force on the mat, terrible pain pierced her body. The ring seemed to vibrate.
The bewilderment was enormous. It looked like it Karen was destroyed. Sweat covered her body. It seemed as if she lacked the strength and ability to continue fighting. The impact on the mat made her vision cloudy. Karen was trapped and pressed to the mat. She was unable to move.
Ryu continued the countdown:

One!!! Two!!! ..........................Three!!!

Ryu has finished the countdown. Karen still lay broken and pressed against the mat. The head and back hit to the mat was so debilitating that it completely stunned the German for a few seconds.

Karen would lie motionless on the mat for a few more seconds. It was something awful. Karen lost another point. It will certainly be difficult to rebuild. Especially since she was starting the next clash from a very bad position, devastated and weakened after losing another point....

[Teenwrestler]

After seeming as if Karen was going to win this match without any issues, Ryu had made a strong comeback as he picked up two points back to back. First, he made Karen submit and now he had just defeated her with a pinfall victory. Ryu was exhausted but so was Karen, both heavyweight wrestlers didnt have too much stamina but it was their pride that was fueling them on in this wrestling match. Both were drenched in their own and each others sweat, their outfits completely soaked wet as they were huffing and puffing. No doubt, this was one of the toughest matches he had ever been into.

After counting to three, he would slowly release the pin and roll over off Karen, falling on his back next to her. His bronze body was glistening off sweat as he was exhausted from wrestling this long. "Hah....I win again..." he would say, not having the strength to get back up right away. "It looks like you cannot continue Karen....lets just end this match....you and I have given us our everything....and I win" he would say, trying to find a way to reach a compromise.

The score was 2-1 to Ryu, with 10 minutes left.

[armandi]

Even though Karen was exhausted and destroyed, her opponent wasn't in the best of shape either. When the countdown ended, Ryu landed on his back on the mat next to her. Karen was struggling to catch her breath, her vision was blurry, her body, just like her opponent's, was completely drenched in sweat. One thing that she could understand, despite her immense bewilderment, was that her opponent was also exhausted. What was even more terrifying was that Karen had lost the second point, and Ryu had the advantage at that moment.

When the German was struggling to catch her breath, she heard her opponent saying something that it would be best to end the match. That would mean defeat. That's why Karen, with a broken voice, replied: "Never...!!!!!" Then, as if trying to gather the last of her strength and roll to the side towards the ropes. Her body was sore and tired. Such a simple movement as rolling towards the ropes was very difficult. If she could, she would grab the rope with one hand and try to pull herself up to at least a sitting position, while trying to keep an eye on the enemy... even though sweat was pouring out of her eyes....
