Champion Against Champion - Akiha Kosha vs. Valley Doll

What was it that Tyson said? Something about everyone having a plan until they got punched in the mouth? Valley could remember the quote verbatim, but she felt it applied here all too well. Punching wasn’t her forte, but in this case it more than worked. Down Akiha went, and she was award with a wide open target. After she stopped stumbling, anyway.

”All right.” She ran a thumb across her throat as she moved in, going for the kill. ”Let’s try something new.”

She reached down and took one of Akiha’s legs by the ankle, giving it a hard yank to the side to flip the redhaired wrestler over to her chest. From there it was a simple progression: she trapped the leg before her thighs, dropped on Akiha’s back, wrapped her arm around her foe’s throat, then pulled back hard, bending her backwards with a move that she’d been in quite a few times herself: the STF.

Akiha was exhausted, this match had been going on for a while. She needed to do something in order to get back into the match. The crimson hair wrestler would then feel her legs being grabbed and rolled onto her chest. She would then feel her opponent sit on her back, taking a bit more of the fight out of her. Valley Doll arms would then go around Akiha neck, performing an STF. The move was a painful one and something the Japanese crusader could not afford to stay locked in this hold. Though she could attempt to go for the ropes, that would take far to long. Instead, Akiha decided to go for something far more dirty, she would dig her nails right into her opponent arms, trying to get as deep in as possible. She was hoping that the sudden shock of pain would cause Valley Doll to let go of her.

The screams Akiha were made were all too familiar - Valley had made many similar ones, herself. In particular, her mind was called back to her Iron Man Match against Natasha Han, a long, grueling bout that she after tapping out to this very move, after nearly a solid minute of struggling. Not only that, but Hayley favored the move as well, and often busted it out when they were sparring...and with a more pleasurable twist thrown in.

Akiha, of course, was getting the less pleasurable version. The back wrench, leg snapping, neck compressing version.

Valley pulled back hard, wanting to milk everything out of the move. Akiha might’ve been able to reach the ropes and break free but this wasn't about. It was about weakening her, slowing her down, taking away her moveset. The more she hurt, the harder it would be to keep up with Valley. A sound theory.

That was, until the scratch happened.

Valley shrieked when she felt Akiha’s prim, manicured nails dig into her skin, made only slightly better thanks to the long gloves she wore. She rolled of the tag champion and scooted over to her knees. After a quick moment to check for cuts, she glared towards her opponent, eyes narrowed with an icy chill. ”Seriously? Scratching?”

The STF hold was a painful one but the crimson hair wrestler managed to dig her nails into her opponent. Her opponent would then roll off of her while letting out a shriek but looking shocked and complaining about the dirty tactic. “If you had studied me, you would have known I have used such tactics before to get out of such holds. Just like before, this has proved to be an effective way to, escape quickly.” said Akiha as she gave a grin, happy that her tactic had worked.

The crimson hair wrestler would get on her hands and knees, still tired from everything that had gone on in the match. She would then attempt to tackle her opponent, trying to send her to the ground and take control of the match.

Valley glared at Akiha and glared harder when gave her explanation. Needless to say, it didn’t exactly satisfy her. ”After all the guff you gave me for calling you a cheater, you just go ahead and cheat and then you blame me? What? Do you even listen to yourself?”

The audience was having  a good time with it, making all sorts of jokes, but Valley didn’t see the humor. Mostly because she’d had Akiha, had her dead-to-rights, and the vile vixen had just managed to squeeze her way out before she could score a definitive win. Frustrating. To say the least.

So, back to it again. Valley rose to her feet and waited for Akiha to do the same, wanting another crack at her. She didn't have to wait long, either - Akiha took advantage of the moment and came right to her, ducking low and coming at her with a short-range spear. The blow knocked the wind clean out of the Slamazon and dropped her flat, with Akiha coming down right on top of her.

It seemed Valley Doll was not happy with the tactics that Akiha was using to gain an edge in this match. The Japanese wrestler would then move in and tackle her opponent, taking the champion down and having her be on top of the so-called Slamazon. “I had an issue with you saying that I had to use maids and other assistants. Sure, I fight dirty but it is all done on my merit, my skill and without any help from anyone." stated Akiha in an aggressive tone.

The crimson hair wrestler would then try to grab the hair of her blonde counterpart. If successful she would then attempt to slam Valley Doll head against the canvas repeatedly, trying to stun her opponent and take the fight out of her. She wanted to prove a point, to show despite being born into a high-class family she could fight just as brutal as another wrestler in the league.

”So you cheat by yourself instead of using help?” She groaned as they rolled about. ”You’re still a cheater!”

Valley would’ve loved to expand on this point, too, and might have done so later on, if she had half a chance. Not now, though. Now, she was too busy having her head slammed into the mat, hammered into the canvas over and over, knocking her loopy with each impact.

Akiha was a bit to busy bashing her opponent into the wrestling mat to give a response, besides she doubted her opponent would be able to even listen to what she had to say in response to Valley last comment. It was also a debate that she was getting sick of explaining over and over again, instead, she would take pleasure in bashing her opponent head which also had the secondary effect of shutting her up as well.

After bashing her opponent head several times into the canvas, Akiha would stop, taking a second to catch her breath but still holding onto her opponent head. After that, Akiha would get back on her feet, trying to bring Valley up with her and attempting to place her blonde counterpart in a headlock underneath her armpit. If successful, Akiha would jump up in the air before letting gravity do it's work and attempting to bring Valley Doll head right down to the mat for a flying DDT.

It seemed like Valley had made Akiha a little mad. Just a little. That was the impression she got as the rich lady slammed her face into the mat over and over, hammering away with psychotic abandon, like there was no single thing more important in her life than ramming the Slamazons head into the mat.

When she was done, Valley lay on the mat, unmoving. She was still conscious, was aware of her environment, but woozy. Too woozy to stop Akiha, as the redhead pulled her up and got her standing again.

She didn’t stay that way for long, however, before her head was brought careening to the mat with a crushing DDT, one that sent pain racing down her spine. Valley hit hard and was left rolling about in pain from the hit, caressing her aching skill as she sucked air through her teeth.

Akiha had gotten herself and her opponent up to their feet before then tucking Valley Doll head under her armpit, she would then fall back and hit her with a DDT. After so many blows to the head, Akiha was confident that she could now end this match, right here and right now. Not wasting a moment she would quickly move towards her opponent before then attempting to grab her. If successful she would try to roll her onto her back before attempting to lay on top of her chest. Her arm would try to grab one of Slamazons legs in order to hook it for the pin attempt.
