Cecilia Northman Vs. Panther Risako - Two out of Three Falls Count Anywhere Match!

Cecilia panted and shook her head....practically seeing double at this point with her world swaying from left to right, things kept going in and out of focus and after a few seconds of catching her breath it became less frequent...but it wasn't something that went away completely.

She would push up fully to her feet, having avoided a potential game-over move, she had to go on the offensive. Stepping up towards the downed Risako, Cecilia would grab onto a firm handful of that damp purple hair, trying to yank and pull Risako up towards her feet to get them both to a standing position.

She huffed out as she would try and step in closer and then try and swing Risako up onto her shoulders for a fireman's carry, that is if the Queen of Queens remained docile!

Risako's back was on fire. Inwardly, she was cursing herself for botching that high-flying attack so spectacularly, for dive-bombing right onto the ringside floor and damaging herself as much as she did. Her chest heaved as she clutched her hurting lower back, eyes screwed shut in pain, but that was nothing compared to the humiliation she had just suffered in front of her fans. A part of her body wanted to just stop moving at that point, to blissfully succumb to the pain and backslide back into unsconsciousness.

Then Cecilia grabbed a handful of hair hair, no doubt figuring the Queen of Queens would remain docile. Aside from the burning of her scalp, Risako felt a sudden surge of rage spark in her that someone would even think of grabbing her hair, and one eye shot open.

Like hell she would remain docile.

As Cecilia pulled her up, Risako gave a wordless cry, balled her fist, and sent one, two, three punches into the Swede's rock hard abs, continuing to fight back even in her battered state...

Cecilia pulled and yanked Risako up by her hair, getting her up towards those feet of hers, preparing to lift Risako up onto her shoulders and hopefully put an end to this match, only for the purple haired woman to start to drive punch after punch into the rock hard abs of Cecilia, hammering her fists against that brick wall that was Cecilia's midsection.

"Guh!" The blond would grunt out and stagger back, hunching forward a bit....she didn't release Risako's hair though but instead tightened her other hand to fire right back at her rival, looking to hammer her fist into the Queen of Queen's abs, as she aimed to fire back all that she got but with greater power! Looking to bash her fist into Risako's proud abs in her own battered state....

In retrospect, hammering Cecilia's rock-hard abs wasn't the smartest of moves: true, a grunt from the big Swede told Risako that Cecilia had at least felt that, but she wasn't doing much in the way of damage. Unfortunately, as she had no way of reaching Cecilia's face or chest, her abdomen would have to do.

Cecilia didn't let go of her hair, though. Instead, she primed a fist of her own, before slamming it into her own abs. The blow felt like a cannonball to her gut, and she let out a loud, stifled gasp as she doubled over from the blow. Rasping for air, she was left immobile for a few vital seconds, as she suddenly found herself unable to breathe.

Then, gasping loudly for air, she shot upright, her fist rocketing up to hopefully connect with Cecilia's chin in a savage uppercut! This late in the match, with both wrestlers utterly worn out, the match had descended into a brawl, with both of them pushing their endurance to the limit.

Cecilia's punch seemed to do the trick and show a fair bit of difference in who had the tougher abs, after all Cecilia's abs were the envy of most women in AFW. She would grin a bit as she heard that loud gasp of pain and air from Risako and she pull her fist back as she would look to send another punch into Risako's abs! Only for the Queen of Queens to drive her fist right up into the chin of the Northern Queen!

This uppercut caused Cecilia's head to shoot back and she would grunt out louder her jaw wired shut from the impact of that fist as she released Risako hair and staggered back a step. She would try and regain her composure and hopefully nail Risako right in the face with a brutal right hook! Trying to smack her right on her jaw and hopefully knock her for a loop as much as the Queen of Queen's had done to her.

Cecilia's head snapped back as Risako nailed her with a fierce uppercut, and the blonde tower of power was sent staggering back by the blow. Breathing hard from the repeated belly shots, Risako wasn't able to follow up, and instead was left trying to catch her breath and stand up to her full height, as, opposite her, Cecilia swayed unsteadily.

Then, all of a sudden, Cecilia was coming right back at her, and before Risako could evade, Cecilia returned the favour, her fist rocketing upwards in an uppercut that thundered into her chin. Lights exploded across her vision, and she felt her jaws clack together forcefully as she was sent spiralling backwards by the blow, toppling over onto her hands and knees. She spat out blood, barely able to move her jaw after that painful hit.

But Risako was determined not to give in. With a wordless yell, she spun to face Risako and sprang forwards, aiming to spear the Northern Queen in the gut and, hopefully, drive her into the barrier right next to the announcer's table, hoping to take the wind out of her blonde opponent.

The crowd let out concerned groans of sympathy for the two, especially when the mighty Northern Queen shot her own uppercut into Risako's chin and they watched her nearly topple over. Seeing her drop to her hands and knees and even spit out blood, the referee would step up towards the two and make attempts to check on Risako.

Yet as she moved in and Cecilia huffed out and wiped sweat off of her brow, thinking she had a moment to catch her breath...Risako came rushing towards her, driving her shoulder into the gut of the blond powerhouse and forcing her backwards! Taking them for a bit of a short travel and ramming the back of Cecilia's right into the announcer table. " Guuuh!" Cecilia gasped out as air and spittle rushed out her lungs, a sharp pain running up and along her spine.

Risako's body was running on fumes at this point. Somehow, narrowly, she had managed to drive Cecilia hard into the table, and felt the other girl grunt and double over against her from the impact. She was still in this fight, even though she didn't have much energy left in the tank. Though she hated to admit it, Cecilia Northman was proving to be one of the toughest opponents of her career. Win or lose, this was a match she was going to remember.

Breathing hard, Risako reached up and grabbed two handfuls of Cecilia's long locks, using them to pull herself upright into a standing position opposite Cecilia. Trying to move faster than Cecilia could recover, Risako would let out a wordless yell and try to turn and ram Cecilia's forehead down into the accouncer's table. If she managed to carry out this move and stun the Northern Queen, then she would proceed to roll Cecilia back-first onto the announcer's table in preparation for her finisher.

By this point, both ladies were fighting past their limits of endurance, but Risako was determined to see this battle through to the finish...

Wincing out as Risako took two handfuls of her blond damp locks and started to pull her up into a standing position, the quickness of Risako was hard to keep up with and had been so far. She was then spun around and her head was rammed right into the announcer table! Once more a flash of white hot pain rang through her head. If she didn't have a concussion then Cecilia would have been as surprised as anyone.

She grunted out and groaned in pain as she was being rolled up onto the announcer table. laying on her back there and panting out as her hands went up to hold her aching head. There was a dullness to her senses as she tried to gather herself....

Risako huffed as she shoved Cecilia over onto the announcer's table like a slab of meat, the action causing the surprised announcer's to back away from the table as they sensed that a heavy move was coming up. And they could not have been more right: Risako was prepared to end the match, here and there, and she was going to use this announcer's table to do it.

Clambering on top of the announcer's table, Risako grabbed a hold of Cecilia's damp hair and pulled her up to her feet, sweat dripping from her own strands of purple hair as she was perspiring from this long match. Wrapping one arm around Cecilia's head, and another around her thigh, Risako would lift the Northern Queen off the table, and demonstrate some of her own considerable strength as she tried to lift Cecilia upwards, keeping her there for a few seconds as, around them, the crowd went wild.

And then, unless Cecilia did something to stop her, Risako would tilt backwards, and hit Cecilia with Kyapuchudo, her signature cradle suplex, to slam the Northern Queen right through the table!
