[ONE] Round One Match: Paige Knight vs Tara Kwan

The moment the count hit the call of seven, Tara opted to make sure her foe was down for the count. Rather than lay there simply hoping Paige wouldn't rise, she'd slide her figure once more outside the ring; the count resetting yet again as the Korean wandered back into the fray. Rather than leave it to chance, she'd try to just make her foe stay down. Namely, by first putting hand to those long locks.

Then, if Paige had made any progress whatsoever towards rising, she'd find it set back to square one, as Tara attempted to launch the beauty into the nearby barricade corner with every single thing she had left!

Once Paige was finally back up to her feet she'd feel her hair getting grabbed. "ARGH!!...WHOAAUGH!!!" Paige grunted as she was flung into the barricade corner back first. The referee count was up to 4 already, and Paige would manage to get up to a seated position with her back against the barricade corner taking deep breathes hoping that Tara wasn't on her tail so she could recover enough to get back to her feet and finally get back into the ring to continue the match. Paige didn't want to be counted out but she needed more energy to fight back.

This time, Tara wasn't leaving the possibility of a save by Paige out there. The moment the girl had hit the barricade, she'd retreat to the side of the ring; leaning upon it heavily, but not entering. From there, she'd watch her foe, panting in her exhausted state, worried to see if her foe would rise again. If she did, she did not know if she could put her back down. But on the outside of the ring, ready to hop back in the moment the count got high enough, she was in the position to at least try. And she was close enough to talk to the beauty.

"Sorry...tits...but this...this one is mine..."

Paige would start to use the barricade to slowly get back to her feet at the count of 7. Then Paige would try to walk to the ring to try and continue to fight, but her back would give out and she'd collapse on the floor outside the at the count of 9. It was over. Paige would bash her fist onto the floor outside in frustration as she realized her her back gave out. The referee would then give the "10!" count and would ring the bell ending the match as Paige muttered to herself. "Damn it..." Paige said in defeat as she laid faced down on the outside floor.

The moment Paige rose, Tara forced herself to do the same, fists raised as she tried to put on her best impression of a boxer. To her luck, both her opponents energy and the timing of the referees count was on her side; with the Korean completely abandoning her posture, to turn and run into the ring the moment it hit nine!

Saving herself just barely, claiming victory in the meantime, Tara would keep her head down against the canvas in her hands as she gasped out loudly. If you could see her face in amidst her grip, you could just about make out her huge smile!
