Tigress McKenna vs Midori Himeno

Tigress only got a one count before one of Midori's shoulders popped up. "Kch! Dammit!" Tigress cursed and shifted her weight to wrestle the girl back down. Before the count could restart, her other shoulder inched up. Tigress yelled and fought it back down, trying her best to pin Midori but the constant struggling was starting to wear Tigress out. As the shoulder came up again, Tigress had a much harder time trying to push it back down and looked like she could be either shoved off or reversed as she began to tire...

As they continued to struggle on the ground, Midori at one point would try to raise and hook her legs around the front of Tigress's shoulders and push down perhaps going for a reversal pin, trying to push Tugress down on her back with ehr shoulders on the mat, while Midori sat up and hugged Tigress's legs to push them up a bit for leverage. Most likely Midori would not be able to pin Tigress completely this way due to ehr lack of energy and this was more of a distraction to try and scare Tigress off her.

The redhead lowered her guard slightly when she began to tire and it was then that Midori's legs hooked her shoulders and yanked her back. Surprise splashed across the woman's face as she fell backward and found herself in a sitting position with her feet aimed at the ceiling, her shoulders down, and her legs held securely. The ref immediately began counting Tigress down...

"One! Two!!"

It felt like a truck was parked atop Tigress' chest, holding her to the mat. She couldn't move though she wanted to. She was about to give up the struggle and succumb to her weariness when her shoulder almost shot up by itself at the last possible moment. In a completely instinctual will to survive and finding that Midori was also lacking the strength to fully and completely keep Tigress pinned, the redhead escaped the pin count narrowly.

If Midori released her, Mckenna would roll backwards to push herself to her feet...

Midori would indeed let her go and allow her to roll back. Midori now staggered to her feet in a daze. If she managed to get to her feet before Tigress did she would despertaely try to lock up with her though this time around, unlike their opening lock up, she might be at a disadvanatge due to her weakened energy.

Tigress stood up as Midori came at her and accepted the lock up, but she felt a major difference this time around... Midori's strength seemed withered down from before. "Perhaps she's wearing out faster than I am..." the redhead thought and instead of spending too much time in the lock up, she would launch a knee into Midori's gut, hoping to double her over. If it hit, she would grab Midori's crotch with one hand and her neck with the other and try to pick her foe up over her head in an impressive display of power. If she got that far, she would show off for the fans a little, pressing Midori up and down before sending her plummeting into the mat with a ferocious slam

Midori gasped as she felt herself leave the ground and was suspended in the air. She struggled vainly as the powerful redhead bench pressed her like a child. She was starting to feel the first twinges of fear and panic.

"No...No....!"

The crowd roared at this impressive display of strength. Then Tigress was able to take her down with a thunderous slam. Midori arced her back on the ground and screamed loudly indicating she had been badly hurt by that.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

Tigress looked down on her foe as she arched and writhed, now seemed like a perfect time to try and finish her off. Tigress would grab Midori by her hair and begin yanking her towards the corner, relishing the girl's cries of pain. She would then, if Midori didn't counter or defend, start positioning herself on the top rope with her opponent on the second, bent over slightly so her head was between Tigress' thighs. The move was going to be big, Tigress' finisher "Meteorite", she just needed Midori to be stunned enough not to fight out of it. The redhead gave a wince as she was reminded of how badly her leg was still hurting and doing things like pressing Midori and scaling the ropes did it no favors. But the pain only fueled McKenna's anger and she would use it to try and aggressively move Midori into position. Finally, if Tigress would be able to fully set Midori up, she would lean over her and wrap her arms around the girl's waist to hoist her up for a powerbomb. Once Midori was up, Tigress would leap off the top rope with her opponent into a huge sit down powerbomb to the mat to which she would keep Midori's legs tightly secured with her own legs on top of Midori's arms and shoulders to help keep them down for the pin.

Midori seemed to be out of it. Tigress would drag Midori over to the corner and soon set the exhausted woman u for the hold. Midori threw some weak punches but eventually, Tigress was able to hoist her up and execute the Meteorite with punishing finality.

As Midori slammed into the ground she let out a quiet scream and a look of shock blanketed ehr face and the she went still. Tigress would be able to sue her legs to fold the limp Midori up and a 3 count pin was inevitable.

"One!" the ref began to count.

Tigress laced her hands together, locking them as she squeezed at both of Midori's legs individually as if she were applying a single-arm bearhug to each...

"Two!!"

"Gotcha, bitch..." Tigress muttered under her breath as her violet eyes watched her foe held beneath her. She wasn't stirring at all which shouldn't have been so surprising given that no one had ever kicked out of the Meteorite before, but Midori had proven herself tremendously tough and if she had managed to keep the pressure up on Tigress just a few moments longer, she may have very well defeated her!

"THREE!!!"

Tigress released her foe's legs and fell to her back with her arms above her head. Her chest heaved emphatically as she gasped for breath. She was so relieved she managed to defeat Midori and felt even better when the fans burst into a loud cheer for the red-maned amazon girl. After a few moments of rest, Tigress slowly sat back up and gazed down at Midori in admiration. She took Tigress to her limit which would help her grow as a warrior and also bring her another step to proving to her rival, Claudette, that she was her superior. Tigress gave a weary exhale and crawled over to the side of Midori's body and began to help her sit up and then started to pick her up to her feet.

"You are an amazing fighter..." Tigress said quietly into her ear as she got her up, letting Midori lean into her for support with her arm around Tigress' shoulders, "... thank you so much for such an amazing match."

Midori moaned a bit and would allow Tigress to support her. She smiled weakly into the embrace of the woman.

"Thanks. I have never met someone like you before. I am glad I did."

MIdori was about to collapse further and would probably need a little support walking out of the ring.
