It was time. Weeks after moving to Japan, doing promotional work, and waiting for this PPV to arrive, it was finally time for Noah Cassidy, the farmboy all the way from Ohio, to finally have his debut match! Backstage, he slipped on his orange speedo, as well as the bits of athletic tape he wrapped around his wrists, arms, and neck, adding to his appearance.

Some might have found his outfit scandalous and overly skimpy, but once he learned how sexualized AFW really was, he had no issue deciding his ring attire. After all, he had a nice body, was confident in his looks, and had little shame, probably due to him all the children of all the other farm-hands he grew up around who would often skinny dip in the nearby river during the hot Ohio summers.

While he was tying his boots on, he finally got to see the result of his poll, revealing that his opponent was Natsu, another relative rookie in Tension, with an undefeated 3-0 record in singles competition. What's more, she was an absolute beauty, and on top of that, the match was "Speedos vs Bloomers" meaning...well, from the sound of it, meaning his first match in the league was against a hot girl forced to fight in her underwear!

"Huh. Won't the farm-hands back home be jealous of that." He had said to himself with a smirk, as a production agent told him it was time to head out.

While his theme started to play, the crowd letting out a polite, if not enthusiastic, response as he came out, waving to everyone in the crowd as he made his way down the ramp, flexing his thin muscles to show off. He had always been a bit of a show-off, especially back on the farm when he learned something knew the others his age hadn't learned yet, like how to ride a horse.

Upon reaching the ring, he climbed up onto the apron, hopping over the ropes and into the ring, raising his arms up to the fans as he looked around, impressed and marveling at the sheer size of the arena. He had wrestler amateur style in high school gyms, and been in front of pro wrestling crowds as small as a handful of people near a cornfield, to a small arena, but he had never seen anything as massive as the Japanese AFW Dome!

Gulping nervously, hoping seeing the largest crowd of people he had ever been in front of his life wouldn't mess with his head, he awaited his opponent, going to sit on the middle rope and hold the top rope up, being a gentleman and planning to hold the ropes open for Natsu when she came out!

Even though Natsu's globe-trotting older brother was assuredly spending his nights in a remote part of the wilderness embarking on a spiritual journey to delve into the inner workings of his martial artist psyche and achieve true oneness from within...Natsu typically liked to imagine he kept a teeny television with a portable battery just so he could catch her matches. She knows it's silly and highly improbable...borderline impossible actually...but just envisioning it helped give her an enormous confidence boost and got her totes amped as she started getting herself psyched up backstage. Showcasing to her big bro just how far she's come in her training with an approving headpat and thumbs up afterwards. Exceeept, she might prefer if her brother happened to skip this particular match altogether as Natsu stood tall before the locker-room mirror wearing only her bloomered skivvies, latex sports bra, sparring gloves and favorite pair of sneaks.

*Yeeeeah....probably for the best if he skips this one.* Natsu internalized with a sheepish smile before tying her white bandana around her head, than clapping the sides of her face and enthusiastically jaunting outside towards the gorilla position. Obviously incapable of containing her excitement at how just much traction her wrestling career was garnering considering it's downtrodden beginnings. She actually won the voting contest over some pretty stiff competition, a victory she almost punched a hole in the ceiling over given how high she leapt into the air when being informed. How crazy was this?! She gabbed with her bestie Nami for hours after getting the good news, with the match's stipulation being a moot point given how Natsu wasn't exactly a prudish princess about her wrestling attire in the first place. Modesty never was one of her strong points. And if getting on a major PPV again meant potentially relinquishing her blooms, well...it was a risk she was willing to take.

Stepping out with a flourish to her guitar riffing theme song, Natsu stopped in place to gawk at the packed stadium filled to the brim with audience members who by and large were applauding her arrival. Exuding youthful cheerfulness and spirited determination through her brightened smile after appreciating the moment, the peppy schoolgirl would sprightly jog down the ramp with a billowing flutter to her white headband and waving to her fans along the until she reached the ring. Noticing the chivalrous gesture as she approached and merrily taking him Noah on it. "...*giggle*...Well thank you kindly, Mr. Gentleman. Although I wouldn't have you to thank for this match's stipulation, would I?~..." Natsu queried alongside a knowing glance behind her chipper smile, stepping in through the gap he presented and walking side by side with him towards the middle of the ring afterwards.

Noah couldn't help but blush and smile as Natsu came out and thanked him for holding the ropes out for her. He knew she was a looker but in that outfit...god damn.

"Heh. You're very welcome." He replied, walking along side her to the center of the ring, unable to resist looking her body up and down, hoping to god he didn't get a reaction in his speedo.

"Heh, no, I didn't pick the match, Miss Natsu, but, if its alright that I say, I'm very glad to get to face you in this kind of match. Please don't get me wrong, I've seen your matches, I know you are have incredible skills in the ring. But, at the risk of being impolite, I must say you are an absolutely stunningly beautiful woman as well!"

He said, blushing a little with an wide smile on his face, a bit embarrassed by his blathering, but confident enough to be honest about it, before he stuck out his hand. "Oh right, I'm Noah, Noah Cassidy, it's really great to meet and wrestle you today!"

Boy, times like these really made Natsu acknowledge the broadened scope of competitors she's been matched up against within Tension. From an overbearing MMA jerkwad to an elegant martial arts prodigy...now to a well-mannered and scruffy-haired country fella who was flattering the bejeezus outta her. Guess it turns out her that her older brother didn't have to go traveling around the world to square off against adversaries of all fighting styles and colorful personalities. However Natsu balked a little from all of the fawning adulation and started scratching the side of her blushed cheek with her index finger with some shy giggles.

"Dyoh come on, quit trying to butter me up, you~...But you can just me Natsu!!! And if you think I'm beautiful, jus wait until you set your peepers on some of the other ladies around here. You know yer pretty shredded yourself. You gotta share your exercise regiment with me once all's said and done." Natsu obviously shared in their joined embarrassment, blathering herself and nonchalantly fist-bumped Noah on the shoulder as they approached the middle of the ring. Natsu stopped to return Noah's offered handshake before backpedaling to the chiming of the ringbell. "Alright!!! Welcome To Tension, and let the best grappler win!!!

"Oh I don't know about that Miss Natsu, from where I'm standing, your one of the most beautiful women I've ever been blessed to meet! Kinda makes me wish this was a real hentai match, though a good fight will be just as fun!"

The bell rang soon after the farm boy shook the Japanese girls hand, Noah stretching his arms before coming out of his corner, the orange-speedo clad teenager holding his arms up as him and Natsu circling each other, offering a traditional collar and elbow lock up, though he was ready to counter if she tried something else!

Natsu made a mental note to thoroughly research just what this *hentai* match entails since backstage producers frequently mention it to her as a viable match type to consider opening her mind to, and how enthusiastic her fanbase was to witness her partake in one. Noah here seemed like a trustworthy enough guy that she'd probably be on board with totally choosing him to tangle with in whatever that match type is all about, but their current tussle was already underway by the time she'd thought to ask him. Ah well, maybe later...

"...*phew*...alrighty, ain't no-one takin my bloomers today~..." Natsu boldly claimed in an oddly competitive manner, stretching her legs behind her with a few jaunty hops in place limber up before circling with Noah and locking arms in the collar and elbow tie-up, extending her leg behind her to briefly bear the full strength of the country boy before attempting to swiftly switch positions. Abandoning the lock-up to sidestep around and behind Noah for an attempted Full Nelson, shimmying her arms underneath his own and trying to interlock her fingers behind his neck.

To say Noah was excited was an understatement. His debut match in the Tension league, and he had an opponent who was not only a talented young person his own age, but a complete and utter knock out babe as well! Luckily he was able, at least for the time being, to avoid having a hard on in his trunks...but he doubted that would last the whole match.

He reached out, thinking with country boy naivete that she was accepting his lock up...only to gasp in surprise as the schoolgirl slipped around behind him, quick as a flash, and locked her arms behind his neck in a tight full nelson hold, Noah letting out several grunts as he squirmed and wriggled in her grip!

"Gah! N-Nice one! That was super fast!" He exclaimed, still excited and praising his opponent despite starting things out on the back end!

In practically any other situation, Natsu would have fervently wished Noah oodles of luck towards reigning victorious in his Tension debut~...byut considering she figured it might be a tad self-defeating in this specific case, Natsu was content to just jabber about exercise routines until the bell rang. The schoolgirl brawler indeed intending to certainly make this one hard encounter for the country boy...just not in the way Noah or a decent majority of the audience might have preferred.

"Heh, thanks. Ya gotta be fast if yer gonna be squaring off against muscleheads with biceps the side of your head..." Natsu innocently remarked after locking in the Full Nelson, extending Noah's arm to the side with some extra strength on her part to keep settled in. Knowing an adversary this scrappy wasn't going to be locked down for long, the schoolgirl opted to affirm her stance, readjust her grip into a waistlock, and buck her hips backward with her tongue sticking out the side for an attempted release German Suplex.

Noah grunted as his neck had pressure poured onto it from the full nelson, the beautiful and scantily clad Natsu holding the Friendly Farmboy in her tight grip as he struggled, waving his arms and jerking his body around, unable to break her grip!

"D-dang Miss Natsu, your stronger than you lo-WOAH!" he exclaimed, his attempt at complimenting the young woman getting the fellow teenager thrown onto his head and shoulders as Natsu suddenly switched things up and threw him back in a hard german suplex, landing on his back, Noah's booted legs folding over his head before his body fell to the side, groaning from the impact of the landing!
