Haruka Tenou vs Andy Nakamura for the Sex Wars belt

Haruka lurched forward hitting her head on the top of the steel steps and then falling on her back after the force of Andy's attack. She lay on the ground, arm flung over her face.

Andy rolled aside after the falling elbow but the hit on the thin mats around the ring was quite hard anyways. Though his risky maneuvre worked, he had to stay down for a moment, lightly stunned from the fall as he shook his head lightly.

The ref had started her double countout, rethorically raising both arms as she yelled: "ONE......TWO....."

Despite what hurt Andy was going through, Haruka was clearly more hurt than him now. She lay un moving on her back for about thre first three counts before turning over on her side slightly away from Andy holding her knee again.

Andy slowly stood up, holding his neck but in good conditions after all. Haruka was still conscious as he could see from her movements. The wild roars from the crowd, and Haruka's formidable endurance were having an effect on him, changing his usual playful and distracted way to wrestling.

"This is the real stuff, and i'm loving it: a match for the belt against a tough opponent who deserves all my respect and requires the very best of me to prevail", he thought. Totally focused on the match now, he hoisted the still laying Haruka to her feet.

He had noticed Haruka's hurt knee, but he could not allow himself to have mercy, not at this point: he would toss her through the ropes and onto the ring, then joining her to go on with the fight.

Haruka was helplessly tossed in. She lay on her back still holding her knee and gritting her teeth.

Andy would reach at Haruka once again, grabbing a handful of her hair to hoist her until she trapped her head between his knees and wrapped his arms around her waist. From there he would try and lift Haruka upside down to follow with a pile driver.

In the space of time it took for Andy to roll Haruka back in and go up to her and lift her up by her hair, Haruka would have ahd the time to recoup a little. As he pulled her up by her hair and was about to insert her ehad betwene his legs she would go for a few elbow shots to his gut to try and slow him.

"Unghf...!!" Haruka's maneuvre worked but Andy was still in a better position to attack. Keeping his grip on her hair to hold her head still, he would lift his knee and hit her, aiming to stun his fierce opponent.

Haruka was stunned by the knee and belted.

Andy grabbed hold of Haruka's leg and started to twist it, aiming to forcefully roll his opponent on her belly. If successfull, he would step over into a single-leg boston crab, watching back from his shoulder to check if she would tapout.
