Megumi Mutoh vs. Maria Tempesta - Sucker for Pain

"Auughh..." Groaning in pain, Megumi scowled as she heard Maria's words, trying to keep her defiance despite her pain. Still, with her being winded by the brutal stomp from her opponent, there wasn't much she could do as Maria then pulled her up by her hair, eliciting a cry of pain from the former Wrestle Angel. "Aaahhhh!!" She closed her eyes tightly, trying to endure the pain from having her hair yanked like that.

Then, it seemed that Maria was about to whip Megumi towards the ropes with an Irish whip, but instead of sending her running towards the ropes, she kept her hold on her, spinning her around in a circle before hitting her with a close-ranged lariat, smashing her arm against her chest. "Buughhhh!!!" The force was enough to not only send Megumi down onto the mat, but also folded her body into half, in which her butt would stick up in the air. "Aaaughhh..."

There was a satisfying smack of her arm against Megumi's face as her lariat thudded into her opponent, bowling her over in an arcing flail of ribbons and and tails. The sheer force of the blow was enough to bowl Megumi over, head over shoulders, and when she finally hit the mat, she hit it in such a way that she was practically folded over on her shoulders, her butt sticking up in the air in an undignified manner. Maria giggled at the sight, covering her mouth with one hand as she looked down at the Wrestle Angel's embarassing pose.

Deciding to rub salt into the wounds, Megumi pressed one booted foot down nonchalantly against Megumi's raised ass, pushing down to get her shoulders against the mat in a confidant, arrogant pin. In an instant, the ref began the countdown.

"ONE..."

Not only that she landed onto the mat in a rather undignified manner, Megumi also had to endure being pinned in such a humiliating way by Maria, who planted her boot right on her raised ass. Feeling her cheeks burning with redness, Megumi could hear the referee starting the count.

"TWO!"

Growling out in anger, Megumi would kick out after two, breaking the pin and stopping the referee from counting. She would try to bring down her lower half back onto the mat as she would try to recover, but at the moment, she wasn't in a very good shape, and Maria could very well take advantage of this.

True to form, Megumi didn't stay down long, kicking out and then flopping over onto her back. "Awww, why'd you stop?" Maria sighed. "You know the crowd was enjoying it...especially your fans!" Giving a theatrical sigh, Maria decided to maintain the pressure on the former Wrestle Angel, lashing out with a booted foot to kick Megumi hard in the side. If this managed to roll her Japanese opponent over, then Maria would sit on her back, pull Megumi's arms over her knees.

And if all of the above went off without a hitch, then Maria would cup her hands under Megumi's chin, lean back, and stretch away at her in a punishing camel clutch...

Laid out on her back after kicking out from that humiliating pin, Megumi then took a hard kick to her side, causing her to gasp out loudly before she was rolled over onto her front. "Gaagh!! Guuh..." Groaning, the former Wrestle Angel tried to push herself up, but Maria placed herself on her back, taking a seated position as she grabbed both Megumi's arms, draping them over her knees.

And then, she went to reach for her chin, clasping her hands together before pulling back, subjecting Megumi to a painful camel clutch. "Aaahhhh!!" Megumi cried out in pain as she felt pain around her neck and back. Things didn't look too good for the Combat Genius at the moment, and she would have to endure this for the time being if she ever hoped to fight back.

Maria was smiling sadistically as she leaned back, stretching away at Megumi as she kept her grip on her chin, curving her back into almost a C-shape as she tormented the combat genius. Around them, the crowd was getting active again, many chanting their support for Megumi...and many others booing at Maria. She drank in the crowd's hatred, exalting it. It was hard work, after all, to be this good at being a heel.

"Mmm, how is it, chica?" Maria whispered, leaning in to teasingly nibble at Megumi's ear. "Think you're about ready to tap now?" She didn't intend to maintain this hold for too long-- after all, she still wanted to have some fun showing off her skills against Megumi-- but she also had to admit, she was enjoying this position of dominance.

"Uuuurghhhh..." Megumi was in pain as she was bent in the camel clutch, and she shuddered when Maria nibbled on her ear. "Urghhh..." Still, she kept her defiance as she would answer to her opponent. "N-no! No!" The former Wrestle Angel kept enduring the hold, knowing that her opponent couldn't keep her trapped there forever. Also, she would continue shaking her body, making it more difficult for Maria to maintain the hold.

"Rrghh!! Rrgghh!!" Growling out like a wounded animal, Megumi defiantly showed her resistance to what Maria was putting her through. She knew that she could escape this without resorting to a rope break. She would show her opponent why she was being given the moniker 'Combat Genius'. "Raaahhhh!!"

Maria expected Megumi to drag the two of them towards the ropes, to force a rope break. To her surprise, however, the so-called Combat Genius was standing her ground, worrying her slender body back and forth in Maria's grip in order to loosen it. And, little by little, she was succeeding: Maria slowly but surely felt her grip coming loose as Megumi shook her body further and further, the camel clutch slowly but surely coming loose.

"Tch..." Releasing Megumi, Maria would stand up and stomp her foe brutally in the back. "Think you're clever, huh?" she snarled. Grabbing Megumi by the hair, she would yank her foe to her feet, before suddenly dropping down, raising her knee so that she could drive Megumi face or chest-first into it before letting go!

Little by little, Maria's hold on Megumi seemed to be slipping, and Megumi thought that it would be only a matter of time before she got herself a chance to escape. But, her opponent wasn't keen to give her the opportunity to do so when she decided to just release her before stomping right into her back brutally, causing Megumi to scream out in pain from the attack. "Aaaaghhh!!!" She grimaced, her eyes closed tightly from trying to endure the pain, and it seemed that Maria wasn't even done yet!

Maria grabbed her by her hair, pulling her back up on her feet. Then, she brought her down, sending her chest first into Maria's knee, eliciting another scream of pain from the former Wrestle Angel. After that, she flopped onto the mat, cradling her aching chest, whimpering in pain. Things didn't look too good for Megumi at the moment.

The crowd was booing now. They had been firmly on Megumi's side from the start of this match, and they were not happy at all with the heelish tactics that Maria was using. Maria responded by simply turning to the crowd, smiling at them, and flipping them a rude gesture, before continuing with the destruction of her opponent.

"Angel, meet devil," she sneered, yanking Megumi up by the hair. Unless Megumi stopped her, Maria would run forward and ram her head-first into the turnbuckle!
