Match Type: 1v1, Falls Count Anywhere
Many wrestlers would feel nervous about being matched with a competitor in a higher weight class, but not Bengal. When the Blaze Tiger was first shown pictures of Tashida "the Happy Bunny", her first comments weren't about her opponent's size, but rather her cuddly, rabbit-themed outfit. "What a ridiculous look," the Indian fighter sneered. She pushed the pictures back across her manager's table, rolling her eyes dismissively. "Look at those goofy ears...what exactly is she trying to prove?"
The other woman held her tongue, not wanting to point out that her own client was wearing a tiger-eared headband. The match was booked without delay. A few days later, Bengal could be found backstage at the local LAW arena, pacing impatiently while she waited for her theme music to begin. As soon as the opening riff of Meshuggah's "Combustion" started to thrum through the arena speakers, she charged forward, emerging onto the entrance ramp through a cloud of smoke and sparks.
Ignoring the standard chorus of boos from the crowd, Bengal continued down the entrance ramp, swiping her claws at any unfortunate fans who got too close to the barricade. She leaped nimbly up onto the apron, swaying her hips jauntily as the announcer declared: "The following contest is a Falls Count Anywhere Match! Introducing first...from Kolkata, India...standing five feet, seven inches, and weighing 140 pounds...THE BLAZE TIGER! BENGAL!"
