The Cowgirl Rides Again! Julia Rogers vs Suzumi Ishikawa

In most cases Julia would have done something a hell of a lot flashier and more athletic than a simple chop just then. But her leg would need a moment to rest up before trying anything of the sort thanks to Suzumi’s hold. Still, a chop was better than nothing. The only problem was Suzumi came right back with one of her own.

“Agh!” Julia cried out at the impact against her chest, which sent her stumbling right back into the ropes with a limp, her left arm catching the top rope for balance while her right hand rested against her chest. The Tsunami was truly proving to be a difficult wave to rise above.

Suzumi saw Julia against the ropes and sprang forward running at Julia as quickly as she could! Suzumi jumped up into the air feeling a surge of adrenaline as she extended her legs and tried to hit Julia with a running dropkick while she was slumped against the ropes! Suzumi was not holding back at all, intent on pressing Julia as she tried to keep hammering away at Julia.

Suzumi was not one to take anyone lightly but she heard the stories of Julia, she knew what this woman used to be able to do believing that she still had it in her to keep doing it!

“UGH!!” Julia cried out as Suzumi’s feet blasted right into her chest with a powerful dropkick! The cowgirl was thrown into the ropes and slipped right through them, her body going between the top and middle rope before falling with a hard THUD right on the thinly padded floor at ringside!

Groaning in pain, Julia writhed and kicked about, a hand moving to rest over her back where she’d landed. Things weren’t looking good for the masked blonde, and at the current rate of things were only poised to get worse before they got better. In the meantime, all she could do was crawl toward the guard rail, seeking to use it to pull herself up off the ground.

Suzumi saw Julia hit the ground on the outside and begin to crawl towards the barricade. She dropped down, rolling underneath the bottom rope before making her way over to Julia on the outside. Suzumi grabbed Julia by the hair and pulled her up, keeping hold as she stepped in to try to smash Julia's head off the top of the barricade as hard as she could! Suzumi didn't want to put a damper on this return to the ring although she sure did want to pick up a huge win! Suzumi was pulling out all the stops intent on showing everyone what she was fully capable of!

Julia did end up back on her feet, though not quite in the manner she would have preferred. She cringed in pain as Suzumi pulled her up by the hair, only to slam her face directly into the metal railing along the front row! “Ugh!” Julia cried out as she fell right back to the ground, hands once more moving to rest over her aching had as she was sent into a renewed daze.

Suzumi heard the referee starting a ten count, but the count had only begun so she had time to try to really try some bigger offense against Julia. She grabbed Julia up by the head and wrapped an arm around her while reaching down to hook a leg. Suzumi angled herself so the announce table was behind her and took a breath. She tried to lift Julia up and send her flying down on top of the table with a sort of release fisherman suplex! Suzumi wanted to make the landing hard enough to keep Julia down because she had something in mind for her before that ten count finished!

"TWO!"

Julia was too dazed to immediately notice the ref starting to count, or to offer much resistance when Suzumi picked her back up. The cowgirl was secured in the headlock and hoisted up, then came crashing back first right onto the announcers’ table! A sharp cry of pain burst from her lips as she bounced off the table and rolled to the floor. One hand rested against her aching back while the cowgirl squirmed about in agony. All the while, the ref’s count continued.

“THREE!... FOUR!”

"FIVE!"

Suzumi saw Julia flop back to the ground and knew she could squeeze in a bit more against her if she could make effective use of her time. Grabbing Julia by the arm, Suzumi pulled her to her feet and began to sidestep towards the ring steps. Suzumi wanted to twist her torso and Irish whip Julia over into the steps as hard as she could before heading back into the ring! At least that was her plan anyway.

"SIX!"

Julia had barely been granted time to writhe in pain on the floor when she was dragged up again, only to immediately then be flung straight into the steel steps at ringside!

*BANG!*

Her body crashed hard into the steel and crumples straight to the ground! By that point Suzumi had re-entered the ring, leaving Julia in a heap on the floor outside while the referee’s count continued!

“SEVEN!”

The fans shouted and cheered, filling the air in the arena with thunderous calls of support! Julia grimaced as she pushed herself up to all fours, limbs shaking under her own weight.

“EIGHT!”

A hand reached out and grabbed the top of the ring apron. With a pull she managed to stagger up to her feet. However, the moment she was vertical again, a sharp gasp rang out from the crowd as she lost her balance and stumbled backward!

“NINE!”

Miraculously, Julia’s hand held its grip on the apron. It was the one thing keeping her from falling too far away from the ring, and the one thing giving her a chance to keep the match alive! With a heavy shout and all the force she could muster in that moment, the luchadora used her grip on the apron to pull herself forward and throw herself into a roll under the bottom rope, sliding into the ring just as the ref was about to make ten count! Enthusiastic applause from the audience told Julia she’d made it in time. The match was still alive, but as the cowgirl lay on the mat panting and aching, she didn’t know how much longer she could hold out like this...

Suzumi was already back in the ring, wondering if she was about to pull off something of an upset win via count out! Right when she got her hopes up Julia managed to gun it and slid underneath the ropes on her. A disappointed Suzumi shook her head and stomped over to Julia pulling her away from the ropes by the arm!

Once in the middle of the ring Suzumi kept hold of the arm as she tried to pull it up while wrapping her legs around Julia's head and outstretched arm to lock in a triangle hold! Suzumi wanted to try to capitalize on Julia's state, hoping to get a submission or outright choke her out!
