Fallen Angels: Suzumi Ishikawa vs Bomber Kishima

Match Type: Standard
Victory Conditions: Pinfall, submission, countout, DQ, KO

Initially Bomber Kishima wasn’t sure what to feel about this one. While she knew Suzumi had been in the Triple Threat match along with her and Diana, part of Kishima felt she had no reason to hold a grudge against Suzumi, and that her real issues were with the Italian who had miraculously walked out of that match as the victor… But another part of Kishima saw it a little differently.

Yes, Diana had won the Triple Threat by pinning her. But Suzumi’s distraction in the final moments had bought Diana invaluable recovery time, which she’d fully capitalized on. What if Suzumi hadn’t gotten in the way? Kishima had that match in the bag. Maybe she could’ve finished Diana off. Maybe things would've turned out differently. So while she knew Suzumi had only been doing her job as a pro wrestler, part of Kishima couldn’t help but think about what could’ve been if it hadn’t been for Suzumi.

As her music began to play, the consensus Kishima settled on was that she wasn’t mad at Suzumi, but she couldn’t just let it all go either. Given the circumstances, they’d just have to fight it out no matter what anyway.

Once the ominous intro was cut off by the energizing blast of the electric guitar, Kishima confidently strode out onto the stage and marched down the aisle. She briefly smiled, flexed her arm and pointed to a fan she noticed in the crowd wearing a Lariat Queen t-shirt, but other than that she paid no attention to the crowd. She climbed up the apron and stepped into the ring through the ropes, then walked into her corner, and stretched her limbs out while patiently waiting for Suzumi to come join her in the ring.

Whenever Suzumi thought about that triple threat match the more her blood boiled. She was essentially laying on her back halfway knocked out until Bomber flat-out knocked her out at the end. Her spurts of offense were never long and she was the least involved. Diana and Bomber went at it most of the time with her laying there in pain unable to do anything. Sheer embarrassment.

Tonight she had a match against Bomber who she wasn't too mad at, but not happy with either. Bomber had done anything and everything in Wrestle Angels while Suzumi's rise was cut short by an injury and retirement for a couple years before she came back to AFW. She had to show everyone that she was not washed up. She was almost ten years younger than bomber but it was her career people questioned, and wondered how long it would last.

As her music played Suzumi came out all smiled, blowing kisses to the crowd, waving and high fiving. She shook her backside at the bottom of the ramp, swaying her hips as she walked to the ring and slid in underneath the bottom rope. Once she stood up the smile was gone as she looked over at Bomber Kishima. She stood in the center of the ring waiting for the bigger lariat powerhouse. "I bet ya had fun totally making me look bad with Diana huh? Well this time no one can hit me in the back to take me out of three quarters of the match." Suzumi said as she stood there with her arms crossed.

Kishima calmly waited in her corner, leaning gently against the turnbuckle pads while her powerful arms rested on the ropes, and watched Suzumi make her way down the aisle. At first glance she seemed as peppy as ever, as if there wasn't a single negative thought in her head about the triple threat. That would've been nice, but evidently it wasn't to be. As soon as Suzumi entered the ring and Kishima saw her changing expression, the truth of the situation began to surface.

Once the Tsunami had finished speaking, Kishima cocked an eyebrow and marched out to meet her in the middle of the ring, standing toe to toe with the other Angel while confidently resting her hands on her hips and staring the woman right in the eye.

"Don't get mad at me for your own mistakes. And that all would've ended a lot better if you hadn't gotten in my way," she retorted. The ref then came to back them up into their own corners so they could officially get this show on the road. Kishima took a few backward strides, but kept her gaze locked onto Suzumi as she went. There she'd shake her limbs out one last time as she waited for the bell to ring.

Suzumi glared and shook her head. "You always got to ride your high horse.. you forgot what it was like to have to scrap for chances." Suzumi said as the bell rang. Suzumi circled Bomber and knew power vs. power was a losing proposition.

Instead, Suzumi stepped up and jumped into the air, looking to get enough height to quickly plant Bomber with a dropkick to the upper chest or head!

Kishima was taken back a bit by Suzumi’s comment, and a look of mild disbelief came over her face. There’s no way Suzumi just said that with a straight face, right? Ever since she’d lost the Wrestle Angels title in controversial fashion to Chris Morgan, Kishima hadn’t just fought for scraps. She’d been force-fed them, always kept away from any path that could take her to the top of that mountain again no matter how hard she fought, and no matter who she beat.

That was ancient enough history that Suzumi had apparently forgotten, though Kishima wasn’t about to take the trip into that section of memory lane again. That mess was already causing enough issues for her as it was without getting mixed in with all of this.

When the bell rang Kishima walked out of her corner and took steps that mirrored her foe’s, while putting her arms up to prepare herself to grapple. She’d intended to start this off by initiating a lockup, where she could easily make use of her strength advantage. For a moment it seemed the Tsunami was going to play along. But no, she was too smart for that. And when Kishima started to lunge in and throw out her arms, she was suddenly greeted by a pair of boots, one slamming into her jaw and the other into her chest!

“Ugh!” she grunted at the impact, which knocked her off balance and sent her staggering backward, before she caught the top rope and held onto it to steady herself.

Suzumi looked up as she got to her feet... Bomber stayed up! Sure, she was slumped on the ropes for a second but still it all spoke to how tough she was. Suzumi was going to have to be smarter, and fight much harder. As Suzumi got up she would keep back trying to goad Bomber into approaching her. "I know that original autograph thing Diana crashed messed with you because you didn't want to be seen with a lowly mid-carder like me huh?" Suzumi said, knowing that Bomber was a great tag team member but never fully embraced it the way she did solo matches.

If Bomber came in Suzumi was going to go low, aiming a low dropkick right at one of Bombers knees to attempt once more to get her off her feet.

Once again the violet haired bruiser couldn’t believe what she was hearing, and it showed in her expression. “What the fuck are you even talking about? Me getting pissed at that bitch didn’t have a goddamn thing to do with you!”

With a grunt she pushed herself off the ropes and ran toward Suzumi, trying to get the action started right back up again, only for the quicker Angel to suddenly drop down and slam a dropkick right into Kishima’s knee! “Agh!” she yelled out as the leg flew back from under her, causing her to stumble and fall. Quickly she started to pull herself up, but she winced and kept a hand over her knee while she moved.

"Oh come on, "getting in your way" as you put it is like talking to me like I am some inconvenience and not a wrestler in the ring with you. It is like, totally obvious what ya think of me."

Suzumi saw Kishima getting right back up and tried to act quickly. She jumped up in an effort to wrap her legs around her foes head. Suzumi would lean back and try her best to catch the bigger powerhouse in a hurricanrana!

Well, that cleared things up a bit for Kishima. At least now she knew Suzumi was getting some of these ridiculous thoughts from misinterpreting the Bomber’s earlier words. She was just about to open her mouth to respond, when suddenly a pair of legs snagged around Kishima’s neck, and the powerhouse was hurled into an abrupt flip!

“Ugh!” she grunted when her back hit the mat with a thud, knocking some of the wind air of her lungs.

Suzumi grinned as she planted Kishima to the mat. She had her legs in place, and Kishima on the mat... why not use these legs to crush Kishima's head in a headscissor hold!?

Suzumi let out a cry as she tried to choke out Kishima. "Ohhhh whats wrong? IS this minor inconvenience more than you thought she would be?!" Suzumi shouted as she did all she could to choke out the bigger powerhouse of a woman!
