Eliza Harenwood (W/Clyde) Vs Shido - Fanning the flames

Standard Match won via pinfall or submission.

This was it, Eliza's first match of 2016. The fans of Tension had eagerly awaited the return of one of their favourite women, the dancing passion. She wasn't much of a social media person, but there had been questions as to when she'd start in this year. That was going to come to an end, and starting would be Eliza's dominance in the squared circle. The opponents would matter little, they would merely add fuel to the blazing glory.

In her locker room Eliza had looked herself over in the mirror once more, dressed in a long black dress with red trimming. It was her entrance attire of course, her wrestling costume was as always under it. However she was sharing this room with another person, none other than Tension's very own cowboy Clyde T Gastin! Perhaps the person Eliza had known the most since arriving to Japan, indeed he was one that Eliza liked to believe helped her develop from how she was then to how she was now. The pair had made an agreement to have each other's back as the saying went, and as it was Eliza's start of the year she had brought him to this match.

"Well Clyde.....Guess I'm up now. I am thankful you are here. I don't mean to sound overconfident, but we're about to bear witness to the best year of the dancing passion~ Now let's go." Eliza remarked with a wry grin, she had looked up the first dancing partner of 2016. Shido, known as the fanboy. A rather short bloke, but full of energy. No doubt he'd have scouted Eliza as she was pretty much a Tension brand name at this point, but that fazed her little. After all one couldn't get too close to the fire without being burned.

With that she'd be at the entrance ramp with the cowboy, the arena's lights going out as a large red velvet curtain was lowered. The large crowd began to cheer as the song that was known as Pena Flamenca!

And shortly after the song played Eliza would emerge from the curtain, with Clyde surely in tow. To quite the thunderous applause, Ms Harenwood smiled and waved to the crowd. Taking in the chance to bask in the adoration of the masses, akin to the times she performed her dance routines to many back home in Britain. She would proceed to make her way towards the ring, slapping the hands of fans and even doing a quick autograph. With a nod to the cowboy Eliza would enter the ring and grin before standing at her corner to await her opponent, she wanted the chance to size up Shido. To see what her in-ring dance partner was, and if he knew what she was getting into.

Eliza was feeling very, very confident in herself right now. She had Clyde watching her back and providing moral support, she was certain that Shido wasn't going to attempt any sort of chair attacks or anything like that. Nevertheless having a sort of wingman provided a huge morale boost to the dancing passion, she was smirking as Clyde massaged her shoulders. It wasn't the same as having her legs massaged, but it made sure that the British woman avoided becoming too tense and pulling something.

Shido seemed to have arrived shortly, Eliza thought it was some sort of stage hand as there was no music or lighting or anything like that. That is until the opponent introduced themselves as Shido, she was able to know that he was quite talkative too it seemed. Refusing to play the theme song of the fanboy? Perhaps it was due to how intricate Eliza's entrance was, she could get away with that due to being a known and well liked name whereas Shido still hadn't earned his stripes so to speak.

Nevertheless Shido seemed polite, going up to Eliza and referring to her as Miss and everything. Ms Harenwood smiled and accepted the handshake while saying "Indeed. Mr Shido this is my first match of the year. I ask you don't disappoint."

The audience of course had wasted no time in favouring Eliza, her style of fighting combined with her attire had earned her many fans. Speaking of attire once Shido went to his corner Eliza would effortlessly remove her dress and hang it on the iron corner post, with her attire being a red leather corset and matching stockings. She'd then do some light stretching as Clyde would probably make his way out the ring, balancing her left leg on the top rope and then pulling it behind her back so the foot reached up to her head. Just to give the opponent a warning of what could await them of course, wouldn't be long till the bell rung.

Now it was go time, Shido was clearly energetic. And had made something of a name for himself in Tension, not bad Eliza would think. But her focus and concern was ensuring that victory was hers, no doubt the fanboy had scouted the dancing passion out beforehand if he had any intention of trying to win. A good thing that Shido had revealed himself a recent tag match, small but can hang with the best. Nothing really major in Tension escaped Ms Harenwood's notice even if she wasn't present, in her life beforehand that was important to do so.

It was good that Shido could do fine in the ring, Eliza didn't bother with the men who only came to Tension expecting an easy time. They were like those who tried to gain her favour back in England, only to be all boast and bluster. She merely gave a smile to Clyde before turning her attention back to Shido.

The bell rung and the dance had begun, Eliza was now calmly focused on the task at hand. She had been settled into her usual fighting stance, knees slightly bent with both arms coming inwardly. And of course the crowd was wasting no time in favouring the dancing passion. Shido looked to be going into the centre of the ring, Eliza would step forward and forward again. Pacing her steps she'd attempt to get the ball rolling here, with a strike of course.

A pirouette was done and then another, swiftly with practised motions. No matter the opponent Eliza knew that always took them aback, and then she suddenly rushed forward jumping into the air and going for a beautiful butterfly kick to blast right into the fanboy. One of the things that Tension missed was the acrobatics of the British dancer, now they would see it once again.

Eliza prepared herself for this, several moves had been practised. Since coming to Tension and taking time off Eliza had been expanding her array of moves, sure she focused on strikes. But there was other so called routines that the dancing passion had under her belt, some things that Shido might not expect. And speaking of that Eliza had hoped that Shido would be taken aback by this sudden butterfly kick enough to be struck down like she had hoped.

But that didn't happen, not only had her legs only caught thin air but Shido made a little crack about her style of combat. Such words wouldn't, couldn't go unopposed. If the fanboy required a lesson in manners Eliza would be happy to administer it, wouldn't be the first time she had done so. With practised control Ms Harenwood quickly landed and had turned to face the fanboy after she had flown over him.

Without a word Eliza continued her attack, Shido was still down even if it wasn't caused by the British woman. And she quickly rushed forward to press the attack, the dancing passion would try to clip the fanboy in the side of the head with a quick enziguri from behind. Eliza knew that she must keep on the offensive, she just needed that one blow to try and start things off.
