Kyo Akamatsu vs Rachel Kincaid (D)

[Underdoggo]

Match Type: Pure wrestling match
Victory conditions: Verbal submission or tapout only. The wrestler who wins two out of three falls wins the match. Each wrestler is only allowed a maximum of three rope breaks; after that rope breaks will not be counted.

The crowd was excited as the arena was cleared for yet another match tonight. This one was going to be a an intergender submission match, with the rarely used "pure wrestling" stipulation limiting rope breaks. This meant that this was bound to be a tense, hard fought affair. And, rumour had it, one of the competitors was having their debut match tonight.

Not the first fighter, though. The first fighter was well known by now.

Spoiler

The first of the fighters arrived to the sound of "Kanjite Knight" from the Mazinger Z soundtrack blaring on the intercom. To the cheers of the crowd, Kyo Akamatsu came striding into the ring. The Scion of the Ring had gained a huge fanbase before his epic iron person match against Valley Doll; his subsequent victory over her at We Are Law cemented his status as one of the rising stars of the intergender division. The crowd had come to admire his straightforward, no-nonsense attitude to wrestling and his honourable personality, so it was no surprise that he got quite a few cheers as he entered.

Sliding under the ropes, Kyo hopped up to his feet, gave a courteous bow to the audience, and settled into his corner. He hadn't done a match with a stipulation on rope breaks before; he was already figuring that he would have to use his rope breaks carefully, as if he went for them too often he could end up trapped and unable to escape in the middle of the ring. Then again, his opponent would probably be thinking the same thing. At the thought of his opponent, Kyo turned and watched the ramp, waiting to see who would be coming out to face him tonight...
