SS 14 Best 2/3 Falls: Taylor Parker Vs. Adrian Kytes

"That was the girliest scream you've ev-" Adrian got out, as she rose up to get her head taken off with a lariat. The former cosplayer in a similar position to how she ended up after the German suplex, landing on her shoulders before she flopped down onto her back. "-er..." she groaned out at the end.

"Ohhhhhhhhh!"

Down Adrian went, and again the crowd popped. Taylor's aggression was paying off, and if she kept up the attack a little longer she could get that all-important first fall ot of the way. Whoever won the first fall was probably going to win the whole thing, that's how it usually worked.

Taylor grabbed Adrian by the hair again and dragged her along behind while she sprinted for the corner. She reared her back and slammed her face first into the turn buckle, and then used her body to keep Adrian pressed in the corner.

"Gah!" Adrian let out as her face was smashed against the turnbuckle again. "What is it with you and my face..?" the former cosplayer groaned out as she was kept in the corner instead of staggering right back. "It's jealousy, right? Gotta be." she mumbled out.

"Oh, now you're chatty?"

Taylor yanked on Adrian's shoulder and spun her around so they were face to face, and then grabbed her legs and hefted her up to sit her on the top turnbuckle. She reached back with one hand, and then jumped to deliver a big, windmilling slap across Adrian's face, the follow-through bringing her all the way down to one knee.

"You got something to say now?"

She hopped up on the middle ropes in front of Adrian and grabbed for her head to set her up for something particularly dangerous.

"Yeah I can be chatty, lot of things to be chatty about, like-" Adrian snarked as Taylor muscled her up to the top rope, a precarious position before the blonde tried to shut her up with a big open hand slap. "Oww!" Adrian let out, sounding much more indignant than actually hurt by that slap as she put a hand to her cheek which was no doubt sporting a red hand print right now.

The time for messing around and backchatting was quickly coming to an end as Taylor stepped up on the middle rope, Adrian had been in this position before and knew that if she didn't act quickly, nothing good was going to come from it. Trying to get out, the former cosplayer started smashing her fist into Taylor's side, trying to get her to let go so she could just be shoved off the top rope.

Taylor was pulling Adrian's head under her arm when several sharp punches to her ribs forced her to protect her side first. She growled, tucked her arm down against her side, and cocked a fist, ready to batter Adrian into compliance, but a hard shove knocked her away. She dropped back down to the mat and stumbled several steps back before she regained her balance.

She charged back into the corner, fist cocked, and swung a big haymaker around at Adrian's belly.

Adrian took a quick sigh of relief as she shoved Taylor back down to the mat but the punkette landed on her feet, which meant she didn't have many options if she wanted to take advantage of her brief respite.

Ducking low, the former cosplayer launched herself off the middle rope, trying to shoot just over Taylor's head as she charged in so she could grab it as she flipped over, pulling Taylor back into a diving neckbreaker, better known as a Blockbuster. This landing was going to suck hard for Adrian, but at least she had some control over it instead of whatever Taylor had planned.

Taylor's punch never landed. First she was charging in, then the world was spinning. Then came the landing.

Crack! The sharp sound of their landing on the mat was followed by more sympathetic cheers from the crowd, and then a long wail of pain from Taylor.

"Gaaaaagh!" The sudden shock to her neck and the blunt trauma to the back of her head set off fireworks in her brain. Her body spasmed and she curled up, both hands clutching the back of her head while she grimaced in pain, rolling one way and then the other.

She didn't need to hear it to remember Junko's inevitable advice, and Taylor's own recurring motto. Up, up, up, up, up, up! She pushed up off the mat while everything still hurt, but she couldn't keep her balance. The arena turned sideways and she flopped back onto her stomach. She scrambled blindly on her hands and knees toward the edge of the ring, reaching for something to hold onto.

Okay, that just happened... Adrian thought as she laid down, panting on the mat, remembering why she hadn't used that move before. It was something about the shock of landing flat on your back after diving from a bit high up without the ability to break your fall with your arms making the pain take a little longer to register. Aaaaaaand there it was. "[size=50:3radgkdh]motherfuckinggaaaa[size=150:3radgkdh]aaah!" Adrian yelled out as she rolled over to try and rub her aching back while picking her head up just to see what kind of wreckage she'd left in her wake. If there was one thing for it, Taylor looked a lot worse off, cradling her neck like that

"Yeah..." The former cosplayer panted as she pushed herself up on to all fours, her hands balling into fists before she pulled herself up to her knees and let out a big "YEAH!" gritting her teeth and letting the adrenaline consume her. That was so far the biggest hit she had gotten in, and it felt good. For all the times Taylor had tried to put Adrian down, the fact she could still do that to the blonde with a spur of a moment move, it meant something to her. It swelled her normally languishing confidence, and gave her all the energy she could want and then some. jumping up to her feet, she moved to close the gap on Taylor, trying to roughly pull the brunette up to her feet.

Taylor shook her head repeatedly, and slowly it began to clear. "Fuck..." She muttered under her breath.

Instead of reaching the ropes, Adrian reached her, and she had to twist her body to stumble after the brunette as she dragged her up to her feet. She clenched her fists and threw a hard right hand into Adrian's stomach, then another. She needed to get free so she could stand up straight and fight back, but at least she wanted to make her think twice about trying to drag her around.
