Prayuth vs. Giulia La Rocca - Seeing Stars

Ugh, his wrestling trainer had warned him about this sort of thing. Prayuth wasn’t such an newcomer to the sport that he didn’t know what an Irish Whip was - though he was still confused on the name - but there was a difference between working with such a move in a practice ring with a sparring opponent and actually experiencing it in the ring. There was damn sure something strange about having it done to him by a woman who barely came up to his chest.

It was a simple move, but the sheer force of it all took him by surprise, enough to knock him for a loop. It probably wouldn’t have been all that bad if he’d spun around and hit with his back like he’d been trained to do, but that was inexperience did for him. Still kinks to work out.

He might have stumbled and fell flat on his ass, too, if he didn’t wind up walking into something big and heavy and solid behind him. It took him a moment to realize that was Giulia, and by that time, she’d wrapped her arms around his waist, got him into position, and was lifting him into the air with the German Suplex.

Or was it the belly-to-back? He always got the two mixed up.

Whatever it was, it was devastating. Prayuth landed hard on his shoulder and flopped away like a ragdoll, coming down on his chest and laying there as the pain ran its course. He started to push up, flopped down, then tried again even harder this time, hissing as he made it to his knees.

The crowd was loving it, though. Of course.

So, what could be the best way to take a skilled martial artist down? One that enjoys fame and stardom as a Muay Thai fighter? Especially if you're just a little girl?

Well, making them realize they've wandered themselves into a wrestling ring might be a good start. Especially if you're a little girl with great power.

And along those lines Giulia La Rocca worked. By the time Prayuth hit the turnbuckle, it was obvious that wrestling moves hadn't been in the core of his repertoire. Which just made it all the more fun to go for the German Suplex.

And as soon as the Italian started lifting him, one more thing became obvious. Prayuth certainly lacked in weight. Well, lacked might not have been the best way to put it, but still it meant that throwing him around would be all the more easy for Giulia.

Oh, and fun too.

Rolling around after the successful suplex, Giulia took a moment to observe what it had done to her Thai opponent. Looked like it had been as devastating as you could expect for a guy who hadn't used to being thrown around. And maybe even more, probably because he hadn't been expecting it from such a small opponent.

But the attack mode was on, so Giulia quickly rose to her feet, positioning herself in front of Prayuth. By that time he had, barely, gotten up to his knees. But Giulia wasn't about to let him get up just yet.

Instead, the Italian decided to try pushing his head firmly between her thighs. It could have been fun to let him suffer in the standing headscissors hold for a moment, but there could be time for that later. For now, Giulia would start falling backwards and try to smash his head once more against the mat with a headscissors DDT.

Belly-to-back, German Suplex, whatever the move was called, it hardly mattered much to Prayuth. He only knew two relevant things about it: it hurt, and Giulia was better at using it than any woman her size had a right to be.

It wasn’t like Prayuth was any stranger to pain or getting thrown about - he got plenty of that sort of thing in his movies. But there was a marked difference between taking falls on a set and getting slung around the ring, and he was feeling that difference quite a bit at the moment. His world was thoroughly rocked, and he needed a moment to pull himself back up.

A moment he didn’t get. He’d just started to sit up when Giulia moved in, and he felt a pair of iron cables wrap around his head - or, as she probably called them, ‘her legs’. It was a tight, crushing pressure, one that kept his head firmly in place and threatened to do worse, but Prayuth wasn’t too worried. A wrestling novice he surely was, but even he knew the value of a rope break, and her whatever-you-call-it suplex had put him conveniently close to the edge of the ring. The ropes were close. All he had to do was reach out, and…

...get his head slammed into the canvas like a railroad spike.

Her DDT sent a ripple up his spine and left his brain scrambled, as he shuddered and flopped over to the side, muttering curses in both his languages.

On paper, the experience in AFW between the two fighters in the ring was quite similar. By AFW terms they were both newcomers, not familiar faces (in Prayuth case, in the ring) for the crowds to see.

That was only fueling up Giulia's desire to destroy Prayuth in the ring. She wanted to show everyone what she was capable of. She might have taken advantage of her seeming weaknesses in the eyes of the audience just a moment ago, but honestly, right now she wanted to crush any doubts the crowds might had had about such a small girl being in the ring.

Also, she wanted to be leaving the ring as the owner of her opponent. The fact that he seemed to be actually famous was only increasing the appeal of that prospect. It would be so much fun to have everyone seeing him ending up as her plaything.

But in order to achieve all that, there was still a lot for the Italian to do. Luckily, she seemed to be getting on a roll here. The Suplex had done its job, leaving the Thai fighter vulnerable to other attacks. And she would love to give him a taste of the power in her thighs. Just a brief one though. Combine the headscissor hold with a DDT - that sounded like the way to go.

And it was almost too easy. Prayuth didn't manage to put up any resistance before his head was promptly smashed to the mat. And honestly, Giulia wasn't longing for any - being dominant in the ring only made the whole thing more enjoyable. And based on how her Thai opponent seemed to stay grounded for now, her dominant position didn't seemed to be threatened at all.

Getting back up after the DDT, the Italian took a couple of seconds to evaluate the damage done. It was looking good. Prayuth was shuddering and flopping over to a supine position. But Giulia wasn't about to give him any mercy. Wanting to keep the attack mode on, she quickly closed in on the Thai idol, attempting to perform a Double Leg Drop on him. Hopefully she'd get her muscled legs smashed against his throat and chest.

First thing in the morning, after he slept off what was surely going to be a raging headache, Prayuth was going to call his agent and work out this whole approach. From now on, he was personally vetting his opponents beforehand. No surprises. No last minute changes. He either go the complete story on who they had him fighting, or AFW management could forget all about those commercial deals and product placements they were floating his way.

It might not have been a common thing for Prayuth to think in the middle of a match, but as it turned out, he had some time to consider it, as he laid there on the floor and moaned and rolled about. He’d taken a DDT before...in training. Somehow, it hadn’t hurt nearly this much. Either his trainer was holding back, or Giulia was just that damn good. Or both.

Whatever. He just needed to get back up, establish his base, and…

Huh.

Prayuth had begun to rise, offhandedly wondering what Giulia was doing and why she hadn’t pressed her attack. He was down. He was vulnerable. He’d have thought she’d try for a pin or something sly like that, take advantage of the moment.

He received his answer a moment later, when a shadow moved overhead and cast over him. Prayuth looked up just in time to see Giulia moving over him, and to realize, in terror, what was about to happen. ”Oh, shit-”

Those two syllables were all he had time for, and barely at that. Giulia wasn’t fat by any definition of the word, but she had muscle, and muscle carried weight. A lot of good, solid weight that came crashing down on him with her legs, hitting his chest and head in tandem. The blow made him jerk about after like he’d been hit with a livewire, and it was all he could do to try and roll his way out of the ring and hope he could get some respite on the floor

If she let him, that was.

Commercial deals, product placements... A little bit of acting in the ring, a few shots given, a couple taken... Just doing it for the money... If that's what Prayuth's motives were, he was surely lucky that Giulia had no clue about them. At least not yet. For the Italian, the motives where quite different. She enjoyed showing off her strength, she enjoyed the feeling of fighting with her power. And preferrably so that the opponent turned out to be in deep trouble.

All the more reasons for Prayuth to start doing some vetting. If he was the idol that he seemed to be, one would think he'd have no trouble to find willing victims to get their ass kicked by a Muay Thai star.

That was, if he was going to be considered a star for much longer. Based on how his match was going at the moment, his market value was in grave danger of coming crashing down.

Just like Giulia was now coming crashing down on Prayuth. The double leg drop was a fun move indeed. In theory, a small girl doing that to a guy shouldn't be too much of a problem. But when the girl had muscle to the extent that her weight actually surpassed his, it had the potential to do a lot of damage.

And by the looks of it, Prayuth certainly wasn't enjoying. In fact, he seemed to be longing for an escape. "Bah, let him roll..." was the thought in Giulia's mind as she started getting back up again. It gave her a convenient chance to show off to the crowds for a moment. Circling around a couple of times holding her hand up with the victory sign in the air and tapping on the muscles in her thighs were something she deemed to be earned at this point.

After performing those actions, Prayuth was nowhere to be seen though. Obviously, somewhere outside the ring. So the Italian moved closer to the ropes for a search. And when she would find him, a teasing (and flirting) "Hey, I thought you were a fighter!" was definitely called for.

”1!”

Prayuth found himself rolling all the way to the barricade, taking full advantage of all the space he’d made. It was a good precaution, but it turned out to be for absolutely nothing - Giulia wasn’t following him out, for whatever reason. Not that it mattered - he would happily take the time to breath and regroup.

”2!”[b]

As he reached up and grabbed the barricade to pull himself up, the crowd began to cheer. Not for him, obviously - it was a little hard to cheer the guy who’d just rolled out of the ring to avoid getting stomped on by a girl half his size. No, this was clearly meant for the Giulia, and as he looked up, he could see that she was milking it. Parading about, waving to the crowd, all smiles and cheers. A cute act, but he knew better. She was built like a truck, and those legs had felt like steel bars coming down on him.

[b]”3!”

And what was up with the referee counting?

Prayuth pulled his gaze away to look at the referee, as she loomed over him with three fingers held up. It took him another second and another count…

”4!”

...to realize that she was counting him out. He’d almost completely forgotten about that little rule, the whole countout thing. His time was limited, but as Giulia came over, he had idea on how to make the most of that.

She didn’t seem to know where he was just yet. Deciding to use that, Prayuth stayed low, waited until she was close enough, then reached under the ropes to grab her by the ankles. With a hard yank, he tried to trip her up and pulled her out of the ring, looking to roughly dump her on the floor.

Giulia wasn't really fond of people who were over-confident or otherwise full of themselves. It was always good to have a certain amount of humbleness and respect for others. Which she did have! But that didn't mean she couldn't show off a little. Enjoy the attention. Be the star when it was your time to shine.

Shining was even easier now as Prayuth had made his disappearance. But by the time the count reached number four, Giulia was getting quite curious already. Where was the Thai fighter and what was he doing? Was he planning something, luring her into somewhere? Or was he simply just suffering so much from her attacks that he was resting somewhere, collapsed to the floor?

"5!"

OK, time to look for the guy. Even if he wouldn't be entering before the ten count, Giulia wanted to at least know where he was and how was he doing.

"6!"

A-ha, there he was! "Hey, I thought you were a fi-YAUH!!" her comment ended in a shriek, as Prayuth suddenly grabbed her ankles and yanked hard. The Italian's back slammed to the mat, and her body was immediately pulled towards the edge. However, her instincts still worked, and she managed to grab hold of the bottom rope at the last second. Holding on to that, it was obvious that her opponent had indeed been planning something.

Prayuth seemed to still want her falling to the floor. And if she didn't figure out something, that could end up being the case. She could only hold on to those ropes for so long. Maybe there was a chance that she could fight her legs free and wrap them around the Thai guy's head in front of her? Yeah, she could try that.

For a moment, Prayuth was a little worried that he might have to try bum rushing his way back into the ring. Definitely not something he was looking forward to, since it would make him so very vulnerable while he was getting up, and he could already tell that Giulia was a woman who loved hitting him when he was down. And up. And in general, really.

But, lucky him, Giulia took the bait and presented him with just the opportunity he was looking for. He managed to snag her by the legs, yanked hard, and from there it was just a matter of dumping her out and throwing her down on her - admittedly impressive - butt.

Only that wasn’t what happened. Not completely, anyway.

He did manage to get her out of the ring, so that was a success. But Giulia grabbed the ropes before he could get to the second part of his plan. The important part. ”The fuck?” Now the two of them were in an awkward struggle, with him pulling at her meaty legs, while she clung to the ropes, while the referee yelled at them both to get back in the ring. Needless to say, her desires went largely ignored.

Prayuth stayed stubborn, until her struggles suddenly brought him staggering forward and his head wound up between her legs. Definitely not what he’d been planning with this, and he put his all into one final attempt to yank her away from the ropes and throw her down to the floor.

OK, the element of surprise was something Prayuth knew how to take advantage of. That was something Giulia had to admit after her legs had been suddenly yanked and her back had hit the mat. Or maybe she should have just known better?

In any case, the damage seemed to be at least momentarily minimized as the Italian managed to grab the bottom rope. In the ensuing struggle it was obvious that Prayuth wanted her even further out of the ring, while she just tried to hang on for as long as she could. At least the Thai guy had managed to get one thing to his advantage: the ref girl didn't seem to now what to count anymore.

Anyway, Giulia decided to try wrapping her legs around Prayuth's head, which sounded like a good chance to end his pulling attempts. And eventually, it worked! Now all she had to to was to squeeze.

"Wha-?!" was then the only thing the Italian managed to let out as she was still suddenly yanked one more time. Assuming she had the guy under control, he managed to still surprise her with his action, resulting in the bottom rope slipping out of Giulia's hands. Her body was promptly swept from the mat, and dropping then down.

But down to the floor? No. She still had her legs wrapped around Prayuth's head. Even if her own head was close to his knees, her body basically inverted and hanging next to his body, the Thai guy still had the nuisance of her legs to deal with. And it surely wasn't that comfortable for him, as squeezing them around his head was the Italian's only way of keeping herself from falling to the floor.

The thousand dollar question was though, should she keep up hanging and see what he'd try to do? Or should she try to escape the situation as fast as possible?

Giulia decided to wait a couple of seconds first, hoping to do some damage with her squeezing. As soon as it appeared necessary, she could try to start hammering the backs of Prayuth's knees with her fists in hopes of achieving a controlled landing.
