[ReticentCone]

Hardcore Match: Victory by Pin, Submission or knockout in the ring. No Disqualifications or Countouts. Weapons are under the ring.
---

Dita had mixed feelings about her hardcore match. On one hand, she liked the idea of letting loose with the the creativity of her attacks and counter attacks, without having to be concerned about breaking any rules. On the other hand, that meant being victim to that type of brutality as well, which wasn't exactly a pleasant thought.

Nonetheless, her theme played....

"The following is a Hardcore Match!"

And she arrived!

"From Chile, to your city, Standing at 5'6, weighing in at 56.5 Killograms, its Dita Ibarra-Espinosa, or Rhythm, the Queen of Counters!"

Dita would move with the beat of her theme toward the ring, yes, but it wasn't eith her usual upbeat attitude. Not, it was with a laser focus. She woukd step up the steel stairs, enter the ring, head to the corner and lean against it. She would then stare out toward the ramp, focused on figuring out what she needed to do to take down who ever walked down it as soon as she possibly could.

Raven was excited for her debut. It was a hardcore match and she was looking forward to putting how brutal she could be when the match allowed it to the crowd but that also meant she could be on the receiving end which made her slightly nervous.

"Now entering the ring from Seattle Washington, Raven Thompson"

Raven would walk onto the ramp raising one arm up into the air before walking towards the ring stepping up onto the steel steps and then entering the ring. As she walked to the corner and climbed onto the second rope striking a pose for the crowd before getting down and turning to look and glare at her opponent and she stretched her arms knowing both women were going to put each other through hell tonight.

Dita would take everythimg she posdinly coukd about her opponent as she headed toward the ring, down even to how she walkef. Her size, of course was important, she was bigger than her was taller than her by a quarter of a foot and likely had a pounds extra on her as well.

As she hunt on to the ropes and posed, Dita considered a surprise attack for a moment, but decided against it. She held no ill will to this Raven and while the official would have probably let her get away with, she felt it would stil be a cheap move.

Once she'd gottenn iim the ring, but before the match bell would ring Dita walk over would speak to her opponent and offer a handshake.

"I'm going to hurt you really badly, so I just wanted to apologize in advance." Dita said. She meant it, but also knew how it sounded. Which ever more reason to say it.

Raven looked her opponent up and down studying her from her legs, to her toned abs, to her arms and head. Seeing her opponent approach her and offer her a handshake Raven would ignore it listening to her opponents threat and would scoff at it. "Oh I'd worry about getting hurt yourself before worrying about me, I'll make sure to leave you broken and beaten by the time the match is over bitch" Lexi said giving her opponent a mocking smile in the process.

Dita sighed. Raven was already calling her a 'bitch' and promised to break her. Perhaps it came with territory, of a hardcore match, but her opponent was clearly trying to motivate herself by riling herself up into a hatred of the ginger.

For what it was worth, she was alao developing a dislike for her foe. Sure her backhanded premptive apology could have been seen as a threat, but it was also true, they were going to hurt eachother a lot, Rhythm was just confident she'd be the one to win.

"I'm just giving you fair warning, I've hospitalized women before, so while we'll both leave hurt, you might be leaving on a stretcher" Dita replied. It wasn't a lie, she'd done grave damage in boxing matches and here she'd have a lot more to work with.

It was at this point she would take a step back and wait for the match bell to ring.

Raven already didn't like her opponent, thinking she was just a cocky arrogant bitch who needed to be humbled and Raven planned to do just that. "I may leave on a stretcher but I'll make sure your career is short after this match honey" Raven said smiling at her opponent. Raven was no stranger to giving her opponents injuries and even ending careers in other underground leagues. "Last chance to back out before the bell rings" Raven said trying to get under her opponents skin some more before the bell rang.

Dita wasn't easy to anger, so she kept her composure through Raven's threats. But that didn't mean she didn't despise her opponent or want to make her pay. She'd syep back towards her foe as the match began.

"I'll ring your bell!" Dita said with an aggressive, though not quite angry growl.

She would, infact attempt to open this match by 'ringing' this cow's bell. She used her left hand to try a grabbing claw at Raven's face, in order to rake her eyes, or at least her eyelids. She'd then attempt to follow it up with a stiff right handed straight punch aimed at the woman's liver.

"Show me what you can do then" Raven said seeing her opponent move to strike her face catching her opponents wrist but her eyes widened feeling her opponents fist hit her liver as she struggled to remain standing shoving opponent her opponent back and backing up to create some space and catch her breath momentarily. "I'll make you fucking pay for that" Raven yelled as she charged her opponent. If successful she would tackle her opponent to the ground and begin throwing punches and elbows into her opponents face.

Despite Raven managing to grab Dita's wrist to save herself from a nasty eyerake, the boxer's targeted punch at her midsection still managed to make ir through, causing her to stumble backward and more importantly, let go of Dita's wrist.

Clear angered and not thinking tactically the black-haired girl would charge at the redhead without qny precautions. With it bring early in the match and Dota not yet victom to any blows, it was easy enough to side step her opponent.

From there, she'd try to wrap her arms from behind around Raven's waist...

to lift her overhead for a German Suplex!

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 again. So far this match was going turning out to be a shitshow for Raven but she needed to counter soon. Raven intended to trip her opponent when she approached her.
