Shanari Drackanov vs Yuko Nagano

" R-Reward? "

Shanari was completely confused now but when she was tugged up with the Eastern girl, she immidiatly tried to yank her arm free and away from Yuko and if she was succesfull, immidiatly attempt an palm strike straight towards the girl's face.

Expecting a reaction from Shanari, Yuko would just step aside to avoid being hit, and push Shanari furtherly forward, using her momentum to thrust the russian girl towards the ropes.

Shanari yelped out when she was send towards the ropes, pressing into them and bounced backwards towards Yuko, a little stumbled but she couldn't react in time to attack Yuko and was left open.

Yuko stepped aside at the very last moment and lifted her leg at belly level, stopping Shanari's run against it. Huffing hotly after the impact, she would then quickly snake herself around the russian girl from behind, aiming to lock her in a standing submission in the middle of the ring, a sensual yet lethal abdominal stretch.

Shanari bended down when she slammed into the lifted leg, releasing a few coughs from her mouth and closed both her eyes, her arms tried to clutch her stomach but Yuko had managed to get behind her and now put her in a abdominal stretch, closing one eye painfully as she stared up at Yuko, a blush upon her cheeks once more.

" Ngaaah! S-Stop! "

*Ding DIng... Time out*

This is a close one to call, I had to go back to my original criteria to decide the match:

1. promptness of replies
2. lack of god modes or unfair play
3. good RPing
4. who was generally winning during the match.

I felt you both RPed at a good standard as usual and not really any god moding... Some could say Raiye played almost too fair cause he allowed pretty much all the attacks to land (but that might not always be a good thing). Yuko dominated the match for me, Shanari only getting in a counter or two and one hold, I would think if the match had continued Yuko would have gone on to win. Raiye has posted with the promptness that I wanted in this tournament, wrestleryu unfortunately you lagged quite a few times for 3 or 4 days which might be why this match ended as a time out.

In the end, I changed my decision backwards and forwards quite a bit, but I'm going to go with Shanari... The deciding factor is my worry if wrestleryu can keep active and I don't want to eliminate a perfectly active member from the competition. wrestleryu, you will still be competing in the number one contendership part of the tournament, hopefully you can see the match through to completion, but if real life gets in the way then everyone will understand
