Panther Risako vs Suzumi Ishikawa

There was a resounding smack as Risako's arm collided with Suzumi's cleavage, followed by a crash as the other girl slammed down onto the mat. As Suzumi fell onto her back, clutching her chest, Risako circled her, seeming for all the world like her namesake panther stalking its prey, the cold look on her eyes making it plain that she was going to be showing Suzumi no mercy.

As Suzumi tried to get back up, Risako darted in, aiming to force her to roll over with a sharp kick to the side. If Suzumi caught her booted foot, then Risako would be ready to spin and rake her boot across the other girl's face with an enziguri strike. Either way, she would try to follow up by dropping onto Suzumi's back and wrenching back on her chin in a camel clutch!

Suzumi quickly found herself in a whirlwind of torment as Risako hammered home kick after kick, sending the former Wrestle Angel and actress down to the mat, screaming in pain! Suzumi rolled over trying to escape, but that only played into her foe's plans for her! Suzumi cried out as the hold was applied, and the pain shot throughout her body!

Suzumi began clawing away at Risako's hands, but knew that wasn't going to get her out of this quickly enough. It was then through her water-blurred vision that she saw the ropes. They weren't within her grasp yet, but they weren't horribly far either. Suzumi began to dig into the mat and drag them for all she was worth, crawling and reaching out for the best way out that she had at the time.... She only hoped she was able to get there before she tapped out!

Risako clenched her teeth as she wrenched hard on Suzumi's chin, hearing the other girl scream as she was stretched further than her body ought to allow. She felt Suzumi pawing at her grip, but kept the hold going, feeling the muscles in her arms tense as she torqued the hold tighter. Around them, the audience was going crazy, with a good many of them chanting and clapping for Suzumi to escape.

Slowly but surely, though, Risako felt Suzumi pulling them towards the ropes. "Tch..." Deciding to change tactics, Risako suddenly relaxed her grip on Suzumi's chin...only to slam her face down, once, twice into the mat! If she managed that, then she would roll off of Suzumi, hopefully leaving the other girl lying stunned facedown on the mat.

Suzumi felt some immediate relief when she was free from the painful submission.... but her face was quickly smashed off the mat not once but twice! Suzumi rolled over onto her back covering her face with her hands as she kicked the mat! Right now she felt like nothing but cannon fodder. Only against Chris Morgan did she feel so powerless and babyface. Nothing she did was working, and she knew she had to do... well... something!

"Ungh, you can be a real bitch in here you know that?!" She grunted, much more angrily than she intended. While she was dazed from having her head bounced off the mat, Suzumi was downright pissed off. She shook her head and slowly got to her feet. She couldn't do much, but she had to do more than just lay there and look like a hapless rookie. Suzumi wanted to run up and hammer risk with various punches, kicks and a few good slams... but it took all she had just to get up and shake off the daze.

The crowd was getting rowdy now as the Queen of Queens ruthlessly dominated the match, with more than a few now stomping and chanting for a comeback from Suzumi. Risako paid them no heed: she was focused solely on winning this match and demonstrating her power once again...which she would have been able to do a lot more quickly if Suzumi just stayed down. So far, though, the other purple-haired girl was refusing to do that.

Suzumi's comment, though, was an unexpected barb. "S-shut up," she hissed, grabbing a hold of Suzumi's head and yanking to pull the other girl upright. If she managed that without interruptions, then she would slip behind Suzumi, grab a hold of her chin and knee in each hand, and try to hoist her up across her shoulder in a backbreaker! For a few seconds, she would hold her opponent aloft, just as Chris had done to her in their own match, and stretch her painfully like a trophy on display.

Risako wasn't looking for Suzumi's submission, however, merely her defeat: after a few seconds she would pitch herself sideways, hoping to suplex her opponent hard into the mat!

Suzumi knew she was in trouble when she was lift into the air. That was never a good sign, nor was being draped across someones shoulders. Suzumi knew it was now or never. She had to claw her way back into this, and that started now. Suzumi squirmed and tried to worm her way forward a bit, and free her legs. She would still be across Risako's shoulders, but she wanted to get her legs around Risako's head in an attempt to squeeze and roll forward, catching Risako in a headscissor takedown!

When they hit the mat, Suzumi wanted to keep her legs around Risako's neck and squeeze. She didn't expect Risako to tap or stay in the hold long, but each second she was stuck was also a second Suzumi had to recover..... vital for The Tsunami at this point in the match!

Risako's face was streaked with sweat at this point after the energetic workout this match had been giving her. A fierce light burned in her eyes as she lifted Suzumi up, and the crowd was hollering now as Risako stretched her opponent across her shoulder in a dominant backbreaker hold, showing off her strength and power both to her opponent and to the audience. Risako had been going above and beyond in this match to prove to Suzumi why she was the Queen of Queens, and more than a few audience members were wondering what Suzumi had done to deserve such a brutal beatdown. Either way, it didn't matter now: Risako looked to be only seconds away from wringing a submission out of Suzumi, or flattening her with another brutal suplex.

Except, as it turned out, Suzumi had different ideas. "Agghk!" Risako gasped as Suzumi's strong legs suddenly clamped around her throat. A second later, the Queen of Queens went flying head over heels before landing on her back with a crash. Her legs jerked out on the impact, and were soon kicking at the mat as Risako found herself in a surprise headscissor. Risako was thrashing and clawing madly at Suzumi's legs as she desperately fought for air now. Around them, the crowd was practically screaming in exhilaration at Suzumi's sudden counter.

Risako was stronger than suzumi, but Suzumi was far more desperate than Risako at this juncture. She kept her legs squeezing on Risako as long as she could before Risako's own clawing led to Suzumi letting go of the hold. It wasn't the longest reprieve on the planet, but it was still a reprieve that Suzumi needed.

Suzumi got up and immediately helped Risako up, by the hair, if she wasn't getting up to her feet as soon as Suzumi let go of the hold. Suzumi landed two fast forearm shots to the face of her opponent before reaching down to grab one of Risako's legs, holding it up higher towards her chest while Suzumi's other arm reached to grab Risako around her upper back. Suzumi did love the simple, effective, and downright painful results of a good t-bone suplex which is exactly the move she was attempting to pull off! In her mind Suzumi was determined to show Risako that she wasn't just teetering on the edge, Suzumi believed she had a strong comeback in her tonight!

The crowd was clapping in rhythmic unison now as Risako was squeezed between Suzumi's powerful legs. The Queen of Queen's breathing became ragged and laboured as she fought to free herself, and for a moment it looked like she was on the verge of passing out. Then, closing her eyes, Risako grabbed a hold of Suzumi's booted heels and pulled. Slowly but surely, she managed to pry Suzumi's scissor apart, her teeth clenching as she fought to free herself.

As Suzumi finally relinquished the hold, Risako rolled onto her back, her eyes closed and chest pumping. Her scalp suddenly burned, though, as her hair was grabbed. "Annh..." she groaned as she was pulled to her feet....before she was nailed with one forearm shot to the face that snapped her head to the side. Another followed suit, and Risako swayed dizzily on her feet, taken aback by Suzumi's brutal counter assault, so dazed that she did nothing to stop Suzumi as the other girl moved up and grabbed her around the waist.

The ring shook as Risako was planted into the mat by the t-bone suplex. Her legs remained in the air for a few seconds before the fell uselessly to the mat, and the audience was screaming now as Risako lay in an unmoving sprawl.

Suzumi saw Risako laying on the mat and grabbed onto her legs, leaning forward and folding them over to go for a pin! She wasn't sure just how off guard Risako was caught by the reversal, the leg scissor and the duplex, but it did seem to do a number on her! Suzumi figured the extra leverage from a pin like this would only help her cause!

Suzumi was also looking Risako in the face as she pinned her. "Just stay down will ya?!"

"One!"
