“Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is as Last Woman Standing Match! That means there are no pin-falls, submissions, disqualifications or count-outs, the match will continue until one participant cannot answer the referee's ten count Introducing first, hailing from the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, New York, she stands at five feet five inches tall and weighs in tonight at one hundred and twenty-five pounds. She is the Smiling Knight, the Glad Bomber, the Queen of the Facebusters, this is MADDY CRANE!”
MADDY CRANE:
The speakers at the top of the stage grumbled into life to fill the arena with the sound of Shinedown痴 舛ut the Cord・as well as the excited applause from all supporters of unscheduled creative facial rearrangement when Maddy Crane strode into view at the tail end of her introduction. Flinging her arms wide to better welcome the FAWNatics to this decisive showdown with the damp dimwit, Mads offered her audience a stately little bow before she snatched the bottom edge of her faded Krystal Erway tank-top and peeled it over her head. One it was discarded she treated the fans to a grin and a double bicep flex before starting down the ramp to the squared circle.
The Red Hook Joker was just about halfway to the ring when the roar of the crowd grew noticeably more alarmed, a shift in tone that prompted Maddy to whirl around in search of the thre--“UUUNNNGGGGHHH!”
Already airborne when the redhead turned around, Estrina Starfire drilled the soles of her boots into Crane's chin with a pinpoint Dropkick! Mads' noggin snapped back and the rest of her promptly followed, the Queen of the Facebusters crashing down hard on the back of her head and shoulders! “GET UP!” Starfire shouted over the furious disdain of the FAWNatics. “Get up I said, loser! It's not time for you to grovel just yet!”
ESTRINA STARFIRE:
Easier said than done in the aftermath of a cheap-shot Dropkick, yet Maddy flopped onto her stomach then struggled to all fours in search of her snarling attacker. “Yuuuhhh... you nasty skank.” Crane grunted. “You challenge me, then jump me from behind? You're a gutless piece of shiGUURRRRHHHK!”
Starfire whipped the towel offa her shoulders, looped it around the penitent wrestler's throat and cinched it tight! Right knee planted between Maddy's shoulders, Estrina crossed her wrists in a snug 'X' and craaaaaaaaaaaanked back on the terrycloth garrote. “Don't you mouth off to me!” Estrina snarled as she yanked the towel left and right. “You just shut the hell up unless you're proclaiming my greatneSNGH! NGH! NGH!”
Mads jabbed her right elbow backward no less than half a dozen times, each gouging deep into Starfire's trim midsection. This countermeasure didn't free her from the stranglehold but it loosened enough for the redhead to struggle to her fee--“NNNNGGGGHHH!” Estrina drilled a Kneelift into the small of Crane's back, then let loose of the towel and tucked her head beneath the New Yorker's left arm. Slapping on a Waistlock in the same breath, Starfire dipped her knees and popped her hips to Mads up, over and DOWN onto the ramp with a huge Backdrop Suplex! Maddy rolled through to a seat before toppling onto her side with both arms wrapped around her aching head.
BACKDROP SUPLEX:

Snorting in disgust after she scrambled to boot-leather, Starfire yanked the towel away, then wiped down her arms and scoffed, “Oh, so you're finished already? Fine! Then just stay down, loser!” Estrina stepped away from the wreckage so the official could make his count. Imagine her irritation when one didn't appear to put the unworthy redhead out of her misery. “What the hell? Where are you, idiot?” Estrina glanced toward the squared circle and honed in on Al Carpenter hurrying toward the violence. “Get over here and count her down!”
“The hell I will!” he snapped. “Opening bell hasn't even sounded yet, I'm not going to do a damned thing!”
Not about to take that from some imperfect piece of crap ref, Starfire stomped over and jabbed a finger into his chest. “You fucking well will!” she snarled. “That nasty sweat rag can't even defend herself, there's no reason to have a match!”
Carpenter scowled, but his expression shifted to a questioning smirk after he honed in on something behind the brunette. “You sure about that, Estrina?”
Starfire frowned, turned around and cursed when she saw Maddy rising to one knee. “Oh, you want to fight now, is that it?”she barked at Crane. “Say it, loser! Say you want to fight so this idiot will start the match!”
“Oh, I'm not here to fight, sweaty.” Mads huffed. “I'm here to kick your assSSSNNGGGHH!” The Celestial Stunner rushed in, hopped up and set her left foot atop the redhead's left thigh so she could THWHACK her right shin across the other woman's jaw! Crane went down in a heap with Estrina hovering over her, the former Lightweight Champion lashing out with a few quick slaps to her opponent's stunned features.
SHINING WIZARD:

“SAY IT!” she bellowed. “TELL HIM TO START THE MATNNGGHH!”
Maddy grabbed the brunette's head in both hands and yanked it down to her while simultaneously THUNKING a Headbutt between Estrina's eyes! Starfire reared back on her haunches, both hands flying to her aching face as she fought to blink away involuntary tears. Beside her, Mads sat up,then reared back and craaaacked a stiff Knife-Edge Chop across Starfire's chest.
“You sure you want to start the match, sweaty?” she taunted the grimacing grappler. “If the bell sounds you'll actually have to wres--”
“SCREW YOU!” Estrina wailed, her tone far more nasal than usual in the wake of the nasty Headbutt. “I'M A BETTER WRESTLER THAN YOU'LL EVER--”
Maddy swatted her rival's hands aside so she had a clear shot for the Bitch Slap she CLAPPED across Estrina's mouth! Crane followed up with a rude shove that toppled the Singaporean star onto her back. Satisfied with the sight of Starfire wriggling on the ramp, Maddy raked a hand through her hair then stood up and looked to Al. “You can go ahead and ring the bell, Al... just as soon as this loser picks herself off the floor!”
Estrina bared her teeth, rolled onto her stomach and scrambled to verticality in a flurry of furious movement. “RING THE BELL!” she shrieked to the official. “RING IT SO I CAN DESTROY HHRRRGGHHH!”
Roars of approval from the capacity crowd when Mads went up on one foot with both arms raised overhead in a limp-wristed 'V', her theatrical wind-up nothing more than a distraction for the Crane Kick she THWHACKED off the lightweight's chin! Estrina grunted and stumbled backward, the red-clad warrior losing her balance just as she BWANGED into the steel barricade separating the aisle from the fans. An arm hooked over said barricade meant she remained standing, though the quiver in her knees told Mads she wouldn't be for long.
“Sneaky little brat.” Crane muttered. “Couldn't even let me get in the ring, could you? Tell me, is it because you're a punk-ass coward? Or were you just so excited to sweat through your towel that you couldn't contain yourself?” Starfire didn't answer fast enough (read: right away) so Maddy darted forward and grabbed hold of the brunette's towel to tear it away from her neck. Alas she never got the chance because Estrina, who'd had her free hand pressed to her ribs presumably to massage away some aches, stuffed that hand into her armpit, then blinded the redhead with a sweaty Eye Poke!
Now it was Crane's turn to paw at her face, all thoughts of vengeance forgotten as she tried to clear her blurry vis--“OOOOFFFFH!” Starfire doubled her over with a sharp Toe Kick, then pushed away from the guardrail and grabbed a double handful of Maddy's hair for the sole purpose of BWANGING her forehead against the upper rail! “You think I need a towel to beat you, loser?” I don't need anything more than ME to kick your sorry ass! But this is Last Woman Standing and that means it's perfectly legal for me to smash your head against whatever I fucking want!”
To that end she yanked Maddy's head up, then bounced it against the guardrail half a dozen times! It would've been plenty more if Crane's legs hadn't given way. “Pathetic, you said you wanted to fight but you're already kneeling before my greatness!” Starfire scoffed as the New Yorker crumpled to her knees. “Well if you insist on being a quitter, I insist on finishing you in style!”
Releasing her grip on Maddy's hair, Estrina slipped her thumbs into the top of her right knee-pad and pulled the protective sheath down over her shin. From there she grabbed hold of Crane's wrists and yanked them back at an awkward angle that would've been a perfect Kneeling Surfboard if she hadn't had something a bit more concussive in mind. “Good thing we finished this on the outside, right?” Estrina cranked back on her opponent's wrists while nudging the curve of her bare knee against the base of Maddy's skull. “I don't need a piece of trash like you ruining my ring!” Just like that she drew her right leg all the way back just to piston it forward into-- BUWWHAM!
The Queen of the Facebusters avoided having her own mug splattered all over the barricade by pulling her head to the left at the last possible second. Doing so meant Starfire's knee flicked over the redhead's shoulder and slammed into the unforgiving steel! Estrina shrieked and hobbled backward, the usually mobile lightweight reduced to so much awkward hopping following her errant strike. As for Crane, she powered to her feet and went straight for her brunette, much to Starfire's disgust. “STAY BACK! STAY BACK, I SAID! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT HHHRRRHHHH!”
Mads snatched Estrina's right ankle and pulled away to straighten it out with a violent yank! Just that was enough to make the Celestial Stunner yowl in pain and it only got worse when the Glad Bomber whipped around and under the exposed limb, Maddy landing on her back to tear Estrina off her feet with a Dragon Screw.
DRAGON SCREW:

Still holding onto the other wrestler's throbbing leg as she returned to boot-leather, Maddy used the limb as a lever to turn Starfire onto her stomach before stepping over and tucking the brunette's shin beneath her left armpit. Placing her free hand against Estrina's knee for more leverage, Crane set her feet flat and craaaaaaaaaaanked back on the Single Leg Crab. “Don't bother tapping out, sweaty.” she chided. “I'm not going to let go until you've passed out... or I rip your leg off!”
SINGLE LEG CRAB:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLYyhztzq-8
“Hah..harghhhhh!!! As if you can make me ta—arghhhh!” Starfire scoffed at Crane before she cut her off with an abrupt yank.
“What’s that, Pitfire? You tapping?” Crane stood up and pulled the trapped leg even higher, an adjustment that considerably raised the volume of Estrina’s wailing.
“NOOO! I’m not gonna ta-” Crane relinquished the hold and spun out into an Ankle Lock position. But instead of securing that hold, she lifted Estrina’s leg into the air, then slammed it into the ground!
“URGHHH!” Estrina bawled and clutched her right knee in pain.
“Don’t force yourself to stand if you can't, sweaty.” Maddy slid back into the ring and gestured for the ref to count.
“Down! ONE... TWO... THREE...”
The Flawless Immortal promptly returned to her feet to stop the count as she pulled her knee-pad back into the place. Mads waggled her finger, “Come on, dork! Let’s do this in the ring!”
Estrina hobbled into the ring in a temper and The Smiling Knight met her near the ropes where they began to exchange Haymakers.
“Screw you!” Estrina broke the exchange with a European Uppercut and followed it with a Backhand Chop to the chest. Alternating between Forearm Smashes and Backhand Chops, The Glistening Goddess fought Maddy back to the center. “I’m just getting sta-UGHH!”
Maddy put a stop to Starfire’s offense with a swift kick to her right knee! “Yeah, just started getting your ass kicked!”
Maddy shuffled to Estrina’s side and folded her right leg. With one arm around Estrina’s waist, Mads lifted Estrina’s folded leg onto a posted knee! “Arghhh!” Estrina wailed and rolled away from her attacker in pain as she tried to neutralize that leg her early in the match.
“Stay down or it'll only get worse!” Maddy threatened the former Lightweight Champion as Estrina tried to create some distance. Defying Maddy, Estrina backed into the corner and pulled herself up with the aid of the ropes. Maddy charged toward Estrina with vicious intent but the nimble lightweight managed to roll out of harm’s way!
The Sultana of Slapstick braked with a foot to the second turnbuckle and glanced over her shoulder. Seeing Estrina hit the ropes, Maddy rushed to the center and tried to catch her with Clothesline—no! Estrina ducked under the swinging arm and went for the next ropes. As Maddy turned around, the returning Starfire took her head off with a Jumping Clothesline!
Maddy popped right back up after the offense. The clothesline wasn’t as effective given Starfire’s build, so Estrina hurried to her feet and headed for the ropes once more. This time, The Celestial Stunner threw her whole bodyweight onto Maddy to flatten her against the mat with a Running Crossbody!
“GET UP!” Estrina demanded as she grabbed a handful of Maddy’s hair and clutched her wrist. Back to her feet, Maddy winced as she got her left arm wrenched by Starfire. Keeping her hand clutched onto that wrist, The Flawless Immortal violently yanked Maddy in and slammed her elbow into the side of Maddy’s neck repeatedly!
“NNGHHH!! NNGHH!! NGNNGGH!”
Maddy dropped to one knee so Starfire pulled her back up with a Front Facelock, twisting her face up with neck bent against the point of one shoulder. “We're just getting started, bitch!” Estrina snarled before dropping onto her butt, driving the shoulder into Maddy’s neck!
OVER-THE-SHOULDER NECKBREAKER
youtu.be/zTe-0BFMvHI
The Sultana of Slapstick curled up and clutched her neck in pain.
“Down! ONE... TWO...”
Not counting on the Neckbreaker to put Maddy down for the ten count, Estrina exited the ring and began rummaging under the ring.
Still in pain, Crane fought to her feet by the count of 'FIVE!' and joined Estrina by the ringside. Abandoning her search, Estrina quickly got back up to engage Maddy in a fistfight!
“Bring it fuck-face!” Estrina gesticulated and smacked Maddy’s face with a stiff forearm!
“That’s a weak shot, but not unexpected from you!” Maddy slammed a forearm into Estrina’s face! The bitter rivals cupped the back of each other’s head and began laying Haymaker after Haymaker, but Maddy ultimately broke the stalemate with a stiff Headbutt! Starfire stumbled away, her red one-piece visibly darkened with sweat. The Sultana of Slapstick followed closely, trying to put on the pressure - “AHHHHHH! MY EYES!”
The damp dica collected sweat from under her arm, spun around and flicked them into Maddy’s eyes! “Soak them up, pit rag!”
Maddy rubbed her face violently, temporarily incapacitated by the stinging sensation in her eyes. The Glistening Goddess snatched her by the hair and threw her back-first into the barricade!
CLATTER-BANG!
Maddy writhed in pain as Al came down to the ringside.
“DOWN! ONE... TWO... THREE...” Starfire strutted along the ringside under a chorus of boos, showing off her armpit to the crowd in the most obnoxious way possible... “FOUR...FIVE… SIX... She’s up!”
Barely recovered from the offense, Maddy soon found herself on the receiving end of Estrina’s onslaught once more. The Flawless Immortal dragged Crane by the hair towards the announcer’s table and slammed her skull down onto it no less than half a dozen times! Maddy dropped to all fours, dazed by the table slam, while Estrina began clearing the table, making space for Maddy to rested upon.
The red-clad villainess snagged Maddy by her hair and trunks and threw her face-up onto the table. In response to Maddy’s groans, Starfire knocked her silly with a series of punches before ending it with a sweaty pit rubbing over her face! “I hope you like tasting and sniffing my pit, bitch!”
The crowd booed at the crude gesture but Starfire in her new persona was hardly bothered. Starfire joined Maddy on the announcer's table and pulled Crane up halfway before tucking her head between her thighs. The Glistening Goddess locked her arms around Maddy's waist and taunted, “I hope you stay down after this if you cherish your ca-", Maddy slipped out of the Standing Headscissors and threw Starfire onto the table with a Double Leg Takedown!
"Shut up you nasty bitch!" Maddy cursed before stomping hard into Estrina's stomach!
"NGNNN---you...", Estrina curled into the fetal position as her insides churned. Maddy returned to the ground and forcefully yanked Starfire off the table, letting her fall to the floor with a loud THUD! "Stand up bitch! Don't start hiding down there because I'm beating the crap out of you!" Maddy pulled the ring steps away from the steel post before returning to Estrina. Snatching Starfire by the hair, Maddy led her toward the ring steps and lifted her up by her togs before driving her face-first into the steel steps!
CRASH THUNDER BUSTER @ 2:00
youtu.be/iy-Rh9DcrV0
THWONK! Starfire went into a daze as her head bounced off the steel. Her arms flailed, looking for something to hold onto before collapsing. “DOWN! ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE... SIX... SEVEN...” Estrina climbed to her feet with the help of the apron. The Red Hook Joker caught Starfire by the strap and waistband and threw her right back into the ring, giving her a wedgie in the process. Starfire got back onto one knee, clearly not recovered from the Facebuster against the steps and Maddy planned to capitalize.
Crane charged and drove Estrina's shoulders back into the canvas with a running knee before circling back to her legs, intending to weaken The Flawless Immortal further.
Taking Starfire's ankles in each hand, Maddy raised the brunette's legs and spread them into a wide 'V' that had a concerned Estrina shaking her hands 'no, no, no!' “Don't you dare, cheater! You're not gonna beat me with a low blHHHRRGGHHH!” Crane raised her right foot and once again STOMPED on her foe's belly, the Princess of the Punchline making sure to grrrrrrrrriiiiiinnnd her heel back 'n forth before she set that foot beside Starfire's left hip. From there she crossed Estrina's left leg across the encroaching plank of her thigh, then hooked the brunette's right leg over that exposed shin to secure something that looked an awful lot like the beginning of a Sharpshooter. But rather than shovel Starfire onto her stomach, Maddy twisted around and dropped onto her tummy whereupon she immediately rolled to her back so she could brace her left heel against the Celestial Stunner's right ankle and push as hard as she could!
INVERTED FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2J5RmNehts
“AAAAAAAAWWWWWW GAAAAAAAAAHHH!” Starfire wailed long and loud as the Inverted Figure Four inflicted even more strain on her already damaged legs. Turned onto her stomach by the ruthless hold, she reached for the ropes only to pound a fist against the mat when Crane applied even more pressure.
“Where you going, sweaty?” Mads huffed as she pushed to a seat behind the suffering highflyer. “Those ropes aren't going to save you. Hell, tapping out won't save you. The only thing you can do is reverse the hold or hope you can still stand when I decide to let go. Think you can do that?” Maddy broke into a hard grin as another round of rough jostling earned more groans from her rival.
Estrina shook her head 'no' whether to refute the other woman's comments or to resist the strain of the Inverted Figure Four, no one could say. “Yuuuhhh... you're the one who'll need saving.” she promised in the midst of rising up on her elbows. “I'm gonna beat you so badly you can't even make it to your knees. That's when I'll put you to use like the sweat rag you really arROOOOOWWW BITCH!”
Absolutely tired of Starfire's disgusting threats, Maddy hunched forward, crooked her left hand into a claw and draaaaaaaaaaaaged it down the curve of Estrina's glutes more than half a dozen times! From there she flattened that hand into a paddle and went to work with hard spanks, the Sultana of Slapstick really leaning into that moniker as she endeavored to make Starfire's cheeks as red as her suit. “How you gonna do that, huh? Huh, baby? Answer me!” Crane wasn't just swatting now, she was PADDLING, the incensed battler putting her whole arm behind the butt-blistering shots to Estrina's rump. “What's wrong, no clever answer? Maybe it's because you know the only thing you're sweating on tonight is an infirmary bed!”
“FUCK YOU!” Starfire shrieked in rage and pain as she abruptly shifted from her elbows to her palms. “I'M STRONGER AND YOU KNOW IT!” she howled. “THAT'S WHY I'M A CHAMPION AND YOU'RE A CLOWOOOOWWWWW STAAAHHHPH! STAAAAHHHP!”
Maddy, who'd grabbed hold of the Flawless Immortal's trunks and yanked the material up and forward, jostled the malicious handle from side to side and said, “Hear them laughing, Estrina? That tells me you're the clown!”
Indeed a great deal of the FAWNatics were laughing at the arrogant battler's plight. Even worse, a growing number were chanting 'TAP, TAP, TAP!' as if she'd actually consider debasing herself to escape the redhead's hellish trap. Seeing only one way out that didn't involve soul-crushing humiliation, the former Lightweight Champion steeled her nerves and began inch her way toward the ropes, a task made all the more difficult because she was dragging Maddy's weight along for the ride.
Crane wasn't entirely sure what the brunette had in mind but she decided to make the journey as painful as humanly possible so she laid back and resumed driving her heel against Starfire's exposed right ankle. Doing so earned another loud yowl of pain from the former fan favorite but though it slowed her progress for a moment, it did not stop. This didn't bother Mads at all, she just focused on devastating those knotted stems while Estrina slowly closed in on the sanctuary of the strands. Teeth clenched against the horrible creeping numbness in her legs, the Celestial Stunner dug into her reserves for a burst of speed that finally allowed her to snatch the bottom rope. She didn't waste any breath demanding a break, instead she kept right on pulling, first to and then under the rubber-coated steel. As expected this didn't cause Crane to release the Leglock, so Estrina switched over from the ropes to the ring apron and kept right on pulling until she was practically dripping down the side of the squared circ--“NNNNNGHHHHH!”
Maddy relinquished her grip without warning, leaving the Singaporean Star to THWUMP to the floor below in an awkward heap! Treating herself to a deep breath as she shook the twinges from her stems, the Red Hook Joker pushed to her knees, then stood up and leaned against the ropes. Arms resting on the top strands she glanced to Al and said, “Count her down.”
Already in position to oblige such a request, Carpenter waited a beat before calling out, “ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE...” Starfire groaned, pushed to all fours and slowly crawled across the narrow aisle to the barricade while the zebra continued to count. “SIX... SEVEN... EIGHT...” Starfire reached up with both hands, grabbed onto the guardrail and hauled herself to a shaky verticality as Al called, “NINE!”
Ignoring the disappointed jeers of the fans in the first several rows, Estrina set her back against the barricade so she could watch Crane with narrow, hating eyes. “Is that the best you can do, loser?” she rasped to the redhead. “No wonder everyone thinks you're a joke.”
Maddy snorted, leaned over the ropes and replied, “Hey, why don't you try standing up straight before you mouth off to me, huh? Actually, wipe off the tears first, THEN stand up straight.”
“You don't give me orders.” Estrina sneered. “You're nothing but a disgusting sweat r--”
'OOOHHH!' from the FAWNatics when Crane slipped a hand into her armpit and flicked a mist at her adversary!
The distance was far too great for anything to actually reach Starfire, but the intent still hit the former Lightweight Champion like a slap across the face. “HOW DARE YOU!” she bellowed. “DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AG--”
Tired of talk, Mads slipped through the ropes, dropped to the floor and went straight for the Flawless Immortal! She was within inches of burying a hand in Starfire's damp hair when the brunette went to a familiar well, Estrina swiping a hand into her armpit to-- “HHHRGGHH!”
The Queen of the Facebusters must've seen it coming because she snatched hold of Starfire's wrist and twisted like she meant to turn her hand around backward! “Not this time, you cheating bitch.” Crane growled as Estrina squealed and went up on tiptoe. “You're never gonna get that nasty shit anywhere near me agUUUNNNGGGGHHHH!”
Starfire's right knee still throbbed like a rotten tooth, but the support of the barricade meant she had to put very little weight on it when she THUMPED her left knee into her rival's crotch! Maddy crumpled forward into a sloppy clench that forced the guardrail back into the shins of several front row fans directly behind the action. Starfire didn't mind however, she carried every bit of the redhead's weight so she could jab three more quick knees into the center of her trunks! “Never again, huh?” she hissed in Crane's ear. “Never again, that's what you said? Well let me show you how fast never comes around, bitch!”
Shoving Mads off for some much needed separation, Starfire turned the knock-kneed Princess of the Punchline around in a half circle, then stepped in and snaked her left arm around the other wrestler's vulnerable throat. “Eeeeeerrrgghh... MMMRRRRHHHHH!” Maddy began to struggle and thrash as Estrina yanked her back into an Inverted Facelock that she immediately converted into a Standing Dragon Sleeper which was itself simply a more pleasant name for the brunette's hellacious Pits of Starfire!
PITS OF STARFIRE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-5Lb4hLj94
“YOU'RE FINISHED!” The Celestial Stunner shrieked as she yoked Crane backward into the agonizing arch that strained her spine, wrenched her neck and stifled her face in one of the most dangerous smothers in FAWN. “YOU HEAR ME, PIT RAG? YOU'RE FINISHED! BEG FOR MERCY AND MAYBE I'LL LET YOU PASS OUT BEFORE AAAAAARRRGGHHHH LEGGO!”
Maddy, who'd buried her left hand in the brunette's hair and started to pull as hard as she could, did no such thing. In fact, she twisted her fingers even deeper into Starfire's sweaty locks and pulled that much harder. The strain on her neck forced Estrina to adjust her footing which put more pressure on her wounded knee despite the comforting brace of the barricade. Loathe to give up her hooks when she had the loser dead to rights, the Singaporean Star pulled her right hand away, crooked it into a spade and draaaaaaaaagged it up Crane's torso as payback for the clawing she'd endured earlier!
“Let go of my hair!” she demanded of the trapped New Yorker. “Let go before I make you bleedDOOOOOOWWWWWW FUCK!”
Breaking her grip had loosened Estrina's control enough for Maddy to turn her head and chomp down on her attacker's bicep! Shaking her head in frustrated disgust as she felt her knees start to give way, Starfire took a deep breath , then pushed the both of them away from the barricade and dropped to her butt to THWUMP the base of Maddy's skull into the thinly-padded floor with a Reverse DDT!
REVERSE DDT:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF7mU_etT9o
The desperation attack left Crane stretched out in a defenseless sprawl but Estrina wasn't doing much better as she was curled up on her left side with that damaged right knee pulled tight against her chest.
Looking down from the ring, the ref began to administer the count for both girls.
“ONE... TWO... THREE...” Estrina rolled to her fours, as did Maddy with one hand over her neck... “FOUR... FIVE... SIX...” The pair looked briefly at each other before popping back to their feet and returning to the ring. With no regard for their injuries, the feuding wrestlers threw themselves at each other, sending forearms into each other's faces with the crowd echoing along after each blow. Estrina put an end to the exchange with a left knee to the midsection and while it wasn't as strong as her right, it gave her enough time to hit the ropes with -- NO! The Princess of Punchline grabbed Starfire by one leg and launched her into the air, dropping her face-first into the canvas with a Flapjack!
FLAPJACK

The Flawless Immortal covered her face and curled up in pain upon landing. The Glad Bomber pushed herself to verticality and sank her talons back into Starfire's sweaty locks. "Get up, sweaty!" Mads snarled as she returned the Glistening Goddess to boot-leather, her right knee genuflecting as an indication of serious damage. "What's the matter? Can't stand without my help?"
"SCREW YOU!" Estrina bellowed and shoved Mads away, struggling to balance on her shaky right leg.Crane snickered at the sight of her opponent before charging in with a jumping knee but Estrina deflected the knee at the last moment and shuffled behind the Red Hook Joker. "GO TO HELL!" Estrina shouted as she wrapped her arms around Mads' waist and hauled her up in a high angle German Suplex!
GERMAN SUPLEX
youtu.be/nK3YL1yPZkM
"UGHHH!" Maddy groaned and stumbled to her knees, the redhead clutching her neck in agony. With a damaged leg, Estrina got up half as fast but still managed to mount on top of Maddy's back causing Crane to cover the back of her head and neck in response! "Give it up bitch! I'm gonna pit you out!", Starfire yelled as she hammered away, forcing Maddy to break her guard. As Estrina gradually gained access to her opponent's neck, she peeled the Red Hook Joker's top half off the canvas and snaked her arms around the-- "AHHHHHH!!! YOU BITING BITCH!" Estrina screamed as Maddy chomped on her attacking arm, avoiding the more dangerous version of Estrina's trademark smother.
Al began to administer the count as both ladies struggled to their feet, granting respite to each other as they crawled to opposite sides of the ring, relying on the ropes for support, huffing and puffing in their respective corners. Estrina ran her fingers down her armpit and flicked in Maddy's direction in an attempt to provoke Mads but earned an insult from the Princess of Punchline instead. "Hey girl, wear some deodorant next time! I can smell you from here!"
The crowd broke into laughter as Starfire blushed in embarrassment and anger. In fits of rage, Starfire hobbled towards her opponent while Maddy charged out of her corner to engage. With her leg compromised, Estrina resorted to a Clothesline but missed as Maddy ducked under and circled behind. Estrina yelped as Mads sent her down on one knee with a kick to her damaged leg, before locking in a Rear Naked Choke on the feisty Starfire!
"HNNGRRHHHH!" Starfire gripped tightly on her attacker's arms, trying to sink her nails into them. Losing consciousness here would definitely spell trouble for The Glistening Goddess here! "Go to sleep Estrina! For ten seconds or so and then this will be over!"
"ERGHHHH!" Estrina clawed desperately as she felt her strength and consciousness leave her body. As Starfire's body went limp, Mads released the hold and spun her around in a half-circle, trapping her in a Front Facelock. Crane threw the near arm across her shoulders and snatched a handful of Estrina's tog around the waist before muscling the lightweight into the air! The Sultana of Slapstick twisted into--NO! Estrina managed to throw Maddy out of the spinning axis and reversed Maddy's Insult 2 Injury into a Neckbreaker!
"NGGGHHH!" Maddy rolled onto her belly and thumped her legs on the canvas in pain. Maddy's neck appeared to be in a very rough shape after several precise attacks from Starfire that a simple neck wrench would make her tap. Meanwhile, the insensate Starfire heaved on the canvas, struggling to get oxygen to her lungs, and more importantly, her brain after the choke.
“ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE...” Both of them started to get up at this point barely making up to their feet by the count of 'NINE!'
“Yuuuuuhhh... you're going to look real good wearing a neck-brace, bitch.” Estrina told the redhead as they resumed circling. “Maybe they medics can whip up something else to go around your waist since you'll never win a--”
“Fuck off, peg-leg.” Maddy snapped. “We both know you're gonna be the biggest prima donna the ICU has ever seen. God knows those poor people don't deserve you, but it'll be a fucking pleasure to not listen to your whining for a few--”
CRACK! The sound of Estrina's scathing Bitch Slap was followed by an audible groan from Maddy once the brunette snatched a huge hank of hair and wrenched her sore neck back at an awkward angle. “Keep that mouth shut, damn you.” Estrina jabbed a finger into Maddy's chest, then followed it with another brisk slap. “You just keep it shut and remember how unbelievably lucky you are to be in the presence of the world's greatest wrestNNNNGGGHHH!”
Crane pulled back her left foot and jabbed the toe of that boot into Starfire's vulnerable right knee! Estrina yelped, let loose of Mads' hair and hobbled backward on one leg in an effort to keep her weight off that throbbing joint. Eyes cold and hard, the Sultana of Slapstick feigned another kick to the brunette's knee, then flicked out an answering slap that swiveled the former Lightweight Champion's head to one side. In the next instant she caught hold of Starfire's dark hair and sprang into the air, Maddy kicking her legs out into a wide 'V' to guarantee there was nothing but a thin stretch of canvas between Estrina's startled mug and a wide swath of plywood!
SIT-OUT FACEBUSTER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uH54njruvM
The Celestial Stunner moaned and turned her head to the side, one questing hand flitting toward her nose to see if that awful delinquent had done any permanent damag-- “AAAARRRRMMMMPPPPHHHH!”
Still latched onto Starfire's hair, Crane forced her foe's head face-down and began to scrub it back and forth like someone trying to remove a particularly stubborn stain! “You're not the best anything.” Maddy growled over the muffled protestations of her wailing rival. “You're just a nasty little bully who can't deal with the fact that she's not as good as sherrrrggghhhhhh!”
Estrina couldn't pull her face away from the aggressive abrading so she shaped both hands into claws and clamped down on the insides of the New Yorker's thighs! “Bhedder dhan yoo!” Starfire bellowed against the mat as she tried to rip her way free of Maddy's grasp. “Nomadder whad, Ah'm bhedder dhan yoobidgeNNNNGGGHHH!”
Maddy yanked Estrina's head up by a good six inches and THWHONKED it down hard enough to make even Starfire's most strident detractors groan in sympathetic anguish. Taking a sec to catch her wind after Estrina settled down, Crane got to all fours then circled around to the other wrestler's feet and set to work pulling Starfire's right knee-pad down over her boot. Once that was done she clamped down on the brunette's right ankle then stood up and-- “NGH! NGH! NGH! UGGHH!”
Estrina twisted over onto her back, drew her left knee up to her chest and unleashed three quick kicks into the pit of Maddy's stomach! She followed this with a single shot to the redhead's trunks, a vile Low Blow that sent her crumpling to one knee! Roaring with triumph as she scrambled free of the other wrestler's clutches, Estrina scrambled to verticality and started to pull her knee-pad back into place before changing her mind. “This how you want to fight, loser?” she rubbed her bare knee for emphasis. “Let's see if you can handle it!” With that she hobbled back into the ropes and pushed off hard, the Celestial Stunner fighting through the pain to build up a strong head of steam before she hopped up, landed with her left foot on Crane's right knee so she could THWHACK her shin upside the penitent grappler's skull!
SHINING WIZARD:

The Shining Wizard sent Maddy sprawling and Estrina almost went for a pin before she remembered it wouldn't do a damned thing. Instead she hobbled to her feet as quickly as she could while also shouting at Al Carpenter. “COUNT HER DOWN! COUNT THAT SORRY LOSER DOWN!”
The ref didn't need to be told twice, he moved into position and called out, “ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE... SIX...” Maddy rolled onto her stomach, reached out an arm and happened to drape it over the middle rope. Grabbing on at 'SEVEN!', she let out a woozy grunt and used the rubber-coated steel to drag herself upright just as Al called 'NINE!'
Back against the buckles on the far side of the ring, Estrina watched Maddy's return to verticality with open disgust. “Oh you stupid, stupid, bitch.” she hissed. “This isn't on me. It's not my fault you're too fucking dumb to know you're outclassed!”
Lining up her shot even as Maddy pushed herself away from the strands, Starfire bolted across the mat at top speed and took to the skies just as Crane was turning to find the Flawless Immortal. If this'd happened during either of their previous encounters Maddy would've been Starstruck on the spot, tonight however the Queen of the Facebusters managed to catch hold of Estrina's right ankle and take a giant step back to effectively transform the knock-out shot into a Single Leg Takedown! Stuffing Estrina's shin under one armpit, Crane yanked the brunette up into a near handstand before turning her over and sitting down full force, Mads clearly trying to touch the sole of Starfire's boot to the back of her head with the Half Crab!
SINGLE LEG CRAB:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGFCIWjMwZY
"ARGHHH! SHI-AHHH!” Estrina pulled her hair in agony while Maddy leaned back farther, rejoicing in the painful screams of the Singaporean star. Starfire threw several elbows into Maddy's hip but that only instigated her to jolt the hold, causing Estrina to tap on the mat furiously!
"Tapping won't save you sweaty! But it certainly makes me happy!" Maddy snarked as Estrina buried her face in the canvas.
"You think I don't know tha--ARGHH!! STOP!", Estrina's bark turned into pitiful puppy cries as Maddy lifted her entire lower half off the canvas, letting her damaged leg bear the weight. The elevation allowed Starfire to push her body off the ground and slipped between Maddy's legs! Using her free leg, Estrina kicked The Red Hook Joker in her midsection, freeing herself from her torturer's grasp, even if briefly.
"Need some help, peg-leg?" The Sultana of Slapstick circled around Estrina and interrupted the ref's count as she peeled the sweaty battler off the canvas. "Ugh--so damp.-UGH!" Maddy groaned as the half-risen Estrina struck her with a low blow once more! "You cheating..." Maddy turned to the side before going down on her knees, clutching her groin in pain.
"..No DQ bitch..." Estrina muttered as she struggled to her feet, wobbling slightly as she stood. Moving sluggishly,The Glistening Goddess moved behind Crane and shoved her chest-first onto the canvas. Straddled over Maddy, the sweaty battler signaled to the crowd with a raised left arm and swiping of her armpit before smearing that pit sweat over Maddy's features. "You better soak this up real good!' Starfire snarled as she pressed Maddy into the ground and snaked one arm over her head, making sure to stuff Maddy's nose and mouth were sealed by her damp rancid armpit!
PITS OF STARFIRE
youtu.be/vHUokxpuBpg
"MRRPRGGGGGGGHHHH!" Maddy thrashed and slapped the canvas as Estrina tried to bend her neck out of shape while cutting off her air. "PASS OUT BITCH!" Estrina shrieked as she twisted her body back-and-forth to grind Maddy's features. "YOU'RE DONE PIT SNIF-ARGH! ARGHH! ARGHHH!!!!"
The Red Hook Joker freed herself with a few elbow shots digging into Starfire's bad knee, throwing her off the mount! Estrina rolled away from Maddy, pulling her knee towards her chest, giving Crane necessary time to catch her breath. The ref moved into position and began counting, "ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...” Maddy made it to their feet by the count of 'SEVEN!' while Estrina rolled out of the ring hanging onto the apron for support.
The Smiling Knight aimed for the ropes, picking up speed as she charged at Estrina, attempting to send her into the barricade with a Baseball Slide but--NOO!!! Starfire moved out of the way and buffeted her opponent with a barrage of forearms before doubling her over with a knee to the gut!
"Screw you!" Estrina snarled before tucking Maddy's head between her legs and flipped her onto the shoulders. Not being able to hold the position for long on one good leg, The Flawless Immortal promptly dropped Maddy onto the apron, the stiffest part of the ring!
APRON POWERBOMB
youtu.be/EVlLgbAQiIE
"NGNNNN!" Maddy winced in pain before dropping back onto the ringside in slow-mo. "Still think lightweights are weak?!" Starfire questioned the crowd but was greeted with boos and jeers!
The ref moved toward the ropes and began counting, but seeing how Maddy was already clambering to her feet, Starfire prepared for her next attack. Rummaging under the ring, The Glistening Goddess pulled out a chair, much to the crowd's disapproval. Instead of swinging the chair, The Celestial Stunner opened it up and set the woozy Crane onto the seat. Estrina climbed onto the apron, patting her right knee a few times before hopping off the apron and smashing Maddy into the ground with a Meteora!
APRON METEORA
youtu.be/WbNXcODd2H8
The collision left Crane stretched out in a sprawled ruin that would've been a perfect opportunity for Estrina to call for a count if she hadn't been curled up beside the flattened redhead with her wounded right knee pulled close to her chest! Knowing damned well that Bethany Christian wouldn't allow a Last Woman Standing bout to end in a draw unless both competitors were at the bottom of an actual crater, Al Carpenter checked on each of his charges before stepping away to see who might rise first.
Well it took almost fifteen seconds but the Celestial Stunner finally rolled to all fours and crawled her way to the steel steps. “Count her down!” she demanded to the official. “Count her down, I knocked her the hell out!”
Al couldn't argue with that point so he took a step forward and called, “ONE... TWO... THREE...”
Cheers from the FAWNatics and a roar of disgust from Starfire when Mads flopped onto her stomach and fought to one knee! “WHAT THE HELL!?” Starfire shrieked at the ref. “SHE'S BEEN DOWN FOREVER, WHY'D YOU TAKE SO LONG TO START COUNTING?”
“You were down too, Estrina.” he answered as calmly as he could. “I can't start a count when you're both--”
“OH SHUT UP!” In no mood for any more nonsensical whining, Estrina stalked over to the penitent New Yorker, grabbed a double handful of hair and--THWHACK! Maddy shot to boot-leather just to leap up and snap the heel of one foot into Starfire's chin with a beautiful Crane Kick!
Estrina's head snapped backward and she wheeled around in a loopy half circle, the brunette tottering away from the resurgent Queen of Facebust--“Get back here, baby!” Maddy grabbed hold of Estrina's one-piece, reeled her in and quickly yanked both arms behind her back in a Double Chickenwing. Soon as that was done she bent her knees and hoisted Starfire off her feet, the Singaporean star yowling in pain at the pressure applied to her shoulders. This turned out to be the least of her problems when Maddy relinquished the Chickenwing to wrap her arms around Starfire's thighs while simultaneously slinging her down and dropping to a seat, the Princess of the Punchline THWHAPPING Estrina on her face, chest and tummy with a huge Render of the Vales!
RENDER OF THE VALES:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KDx892MAa0
Maddy looked at the ref so he'd know she was looking for a count but it never even got started because Starfire somehow bounced to her feet and kept right on walking! Or rather, stumbling awkwardly with both hands limp at her sides and a glassy 'wha hoppen?' expression pasted across her face as it seemed the former Lightweight Champion was running on nothing more than adrenaline and muscle memory. This combination got her around the nearest corner before exhaustion caught up and she pitched forward in a face-down heap.
“Drippy little cockroach.” Crane grunted as she got to her feet. “Of course you couldn't just stay here and lose. Start the count, Al.”
Carpenter was already on it, having bustled by Mads so he could get a better view of the other wrestler. “ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE... SIX...”
Estrina started to move, not vertically but horizontally, the vulnerable battler dragging herself toward the apron so it could aid her in standing up. The rules wouldn't let Crane stop Starfire from rising but she could sure as hell be there to meet her so she took a deep breath and hurried around the corner to-- “HEY! Where the fuck do you think you're going?”
Estrina hadn't just reached the apron, she'd pulled it up and dragged herself almost halfway under the ring! Not about to let her rival get away with that sort of brazen cheating, Maddy snagged hold of Starfire's ankles and started yanking her back out into the light! “NO! LET GO OF ME, DAMN YOU!” Estrina fought like a madwoman, twisting and writhing, she even managed to flip over onto her back, yet Crane refused to let her go.
“I don't think so, cutie. You want to crawl away and hide? Lemme give you a real reason to crawl away and hide!”
Shifting her grip so that Starfire's shins were trapped beneath her armpits, Mads locked her hands tight, then hunkered down low and hit full reverse to drag the struggling grappler back out into view. The odd chemical smell hit her first, Maddy didn't actually notice the damp towel until Estrina sat up and stuffed it into her face! Head swimming with a single deep breath, Crane let go and would've stumbled away if Starfire hadn't pressed her other hand to the back of the New Yorker's skull.
“GOTCHA NOW, LOSER!” Estrina proclaimed as Maddy tried to twist away from the smothering towel. “BET'CHA WISH YOU'D STAYED DOWN BEFORE, DON'T YA? WELL IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW!”
Maddy struggled ferociously at first, but her arms eventually went limp and dropped to her sides, followed by her knees to the ground. Satisfied with the outcome, The Flawless Immortal tossed the suspicious towel into the crowd, who quickly realized it had had been soaked in chloroform! The crowd booed loud but there was nothing Al could do!
Starfire pulled the drowsy Maddy back onto her knees and clutched both her wrists, choosing to put her knee on the line for safe measure. The Glistening Goddess drew her right knee back and slammed it into the back of Maddy's hurt neck!
EVENT HORIZON

"ARGHHH!" Estrina yelped in pain and fell onto the ground, clutching her knee in pain as Maddy crumpled to the floor. "COUNT HER! COUNT HER NOW!" Starfire shouted as she hurriedly got back to her feet and leaned onto the ring for support.
"ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE... SIX...” Maddy laid motionless as the count continued, "SEVEN... EIGHT...NINE... TEN!”
"YES!"
DING DING DING!
"Ladies and gentlemen, your winner via knockout! ESTRINA STARFIRE!”
Starfire raised her arms overhead and bellowed in exhausted triumph even as the crowd jeered in protest. Quite unimpressed by their disdain, Estrina gathered her strength and staggered towards her fallen rival, casually placing a boot on her Maddy's back to draw more ire from the FAWNatics. The victorious Starfire flexed her arms as the camera focused on her. "No one matches up to my flawlessness, not even you!" Starfire slid her hand under her arm and flicked beads of sweat onto the camera lens.
With that, she left the arena albeit with an awkward gait before the promo for the next match screened.
MADDY CRANE:
The speakers at the top of the stage grumbled into life to fill the arena with the sound of Shinedown痴 舛ut the Cord・as well as the excited applause from all supporters of unscheduled creative facial rearrangement when Maddy Crane strode into view at the tail end of her introduction. Flinging her arms wide to better welcome the FAWNatics to this decisive showdown with the damp dimwit, Mads offered her audience a stately little bow before she snatched the bottom edge of her faded Krystal Erway tank-top and peeled it over her head. One it was discarded she treated the fans to a grin and a double bicep flex before starting down the ramp to the squared circle.
The Red Hook Joker was just about halfway to the ring when the roar of the crowd grew noticeably more alarmed, a shift in tone that prompted Maddy to whirl around in search of the thre--“UUUNNNGGGGHHH!”
Already airborne when the redhead turned around, Estrina Starfire drilled the soles of her boots into Crane's chin with a pinpoint Dropkick! Mads' noggin snapped back and the rest of her promptly followed, the Queen of the Facebusters crashing down hard on the back of her head and shoulders! “GET UP!” Starfire shouted over the furious disdain of the FAWNatics. “Get up I said, loser! It's not time for you to grovel just yet!”
ESTRINA STARFIRE:
Easier said than done in the aftermath of a cheap-shot Dropkick, yet Maddy flopped onto her stomach then struggled to all fours in search of her snarling attacker. “Yuuuhhh... you nasty skank.” Crane grunted. “You challenge me, then jump me from behind? You're a gutless piece of shiGUURRRRHHHK!”
Starfire whipped the towel offa her shoulders, looped it around the penitent wrestler's throat and cinched it tight! Right knee planted between Maddy's shoulders, Estrina crossed her wrists in a snug 'X' and craaaaaaaaaaaanked back on the terrycloth garrote. “Don't you mouth off to me!” Estrina snarled as she yanked the towel left and right. “You just shut the hell up unless you're proclaiming my greatneSNGH! NGH! NGH!”
Mads jabbed her right elbow backward no less than half a dozen times, each gouging deep into Starfire's trim midsection. This countermeasure didn't free her from the stranglehold but it loosened enough for the redhead to struggle to her fee--“NNNNGGGGHHH!” Estrina drilled a Kneelift into the small of Crane's back, then let loose of the towel and tucked her head beneath the New Yorker's left arm. Slapping on a Waistlock in the same breath, Starfire dipped her knees and popped her hips to Mads up, over and DOWN onto the ramp with a huge Backdrop Suplex! Maddy rolled through to a seat before toppling onto her side with both arms wrapped around her aching head.
BACKDROP SUPLEX:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgKm0bY5Tik
Snorting in disgust after she scrambled to boot-leather, Starfire yanked the towel away, then wiped down her arms and scoffed, “Oh, so you're finished already? Fine! Then just stay down, loser!” Estrina stepped away from the wreckage so the official could make his count. Imagine her irritation when one didn't appear to put the unworthy redhead out of her misery. “What the hell? Where are you, idiot?” Estrina glanced toward the squared circle and honed in on Al Carpenter hurrying toward the violence. “Get over here and count her down!”
“The hell I will!” he snapped. “Opening bell hasn't even sounded yet, I'm not going to do a damned thing!”
Not about to take that from some imperfect piece of crap ref, Starfire stomped over and jabbed a finger into his chest. “You fucking well will!” she snarled. “That nasty sweat rag can't even defend herself, there's no reason to have a match!”
Carpenter scowled, but his expression shifted to a questioning smirk after he honed in on something behind the brunette. “You sure about that, Estrina?”
Starfire frowned, turned around and cursed when she saw Maddy rising to one knee. “Oh, you want to fight now, is that it?”she barked at Crane. “Say it, loser! Say you want to fight so this idiot will start the match!”
“Oh, I'm not here to fight, sweaty.” Mads huffed. “I'm here to kick your assSSSNNGGGHH!” The Celestial Stunner rushed in, hopped up and set her left foot atop the redhead's left thigh so she could THWHACK her right shin across the other woman's jaw! Crane went down in a heap with Estrina hovering over her, the former Lightweight Champion lashing out with a few quick slaps to her opponent's stunned features.
SHINING WIZARD:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9VmPzsTqjs
“SAY IT!” she bellowed. “TELL HIM TO START THE MATNNGGHH!”
Maddy grabbed the brunette's head in both hands and yanked it down to her while simultaneously THUNKING a Headbutt between Estrina's eyes! Starfire reared back on her haunches, both hands flying to her aching face as she fought to blink away involuntary tears. Beside her, Mads sat up,then reared back and craaaacked a stiff Knife-Edge Chop across Starfire's chest.
“You sure you want to start the match, sweaty?” she taunted the grimacing grappler. “If the bell sounds you'll actually have to wres--”
“SCREW YOU!” Estrina wailed, her tone far more nasal than usual in the wake of the nasty Headbutt. “I'M A BETTER WRESTLER THAN YOU'LL EVER--”
Maddy swatted her rival's hands aside so she had a clear shot for the Bitch Slap she CLAPPED across Estrina's mouth! Crane followed up with a rude shove that toppled the Singaporean star onto her back. Satisfied with the sight of Starfire wriggling on the ramp, Maddy raked a hand through her hair then stood up and looked to Al. “You can go ahead and ring the bell, Al... just as soon as this loser picks herself off the floor!”
Estrina bared her teeth, rolled onto her stomach and scrambled to verticality in a flurry of furious movement. “RING THE BELL!” she shrieked to the official. “RING IT SO I CAN DESTROY HHRRRGGHHH!”
Roars of approval from the capacity crowd when Mads went up on one foot with both arms raised overhead in a limp-wristed 'V', her theatrical wind-up nothing more than a distraction for the Crane Kick she THWHACKED off the lightweight's chin! Estrina grunted and stumbled backward, the red-clad warrior losing her balance just as she BWANGED into the steel barricade separating the aisle from the fans. An arm hooked over said barricade meant she remained standing, though the quiver in her knees told Mads she wouldn't be for long.
“Sneaky little brat.” Crane muttered. “Couldn't even let me get in the ring, could you? Tell me, is it because you're a punk-ass coward? Or were you just so excited to sweat through your towel that you couldn't contain yourself?” Starfire didn't answer fast enough (read: right away) so Maddy darted forward and grabbed hold of the brunette's towel to tear it away from her neck. Alas she never got the chance because Estrina, who'd had her free hand pressed to her ribs presumably to massage away some aches, stuffed that hand into her armpit, then blinded the redhead with a sweaty Eye Poke!
Now it was Crane's turn to paw at her face, all thoughts of vengeance forgotten as she tried to clear her blurry vis--“OOOOFFFFH!” Starfire doubled her over with a sharp Toe Kick, then pushed away from the guardrail and grabbed a double handful of Maddy's hair for the sole purpose of BWANGING her forehead against the upper rail! “You think I need a towel to beat you, loser?” I don't need anything more than ME to kick your sorry ass! But this is Last Woman Standing and that means it's perfectly legal for me to smash your head against whatever I fucking want!”
To that end she yanked Maddy's head up, then bounced it against the guardrail half a dozen times! It would've been plenty more if Crane's legs hadn't given way. “Pathetic, you said you wanted to fight but you're already kneeling before my greatness!” Starfire scoffed as the New Yorker crumpled to her knees. “Well if you insist on being a quitter, I insist on finishing you in style!”
Releasing her grip on Maddy's hair, Estrina slipped her thumbs into the top of her right knee-pad and pulled the protective sheath down over her shin. From there she grabbed hold of Crane's wrists and yanked them back at an awkward angle that would've been a perfect Kneeling Surfboard if she hadn't had something a bit more concussive in mind. “Good thing we finished this on the outside, right?” Estrina cranked back on her opponent's wrists while nudging the curve of her bare knee against the base of Maddy's skull. “I don't need a piece of trash like you ruining my ring!” Just like that she drew her right leg all the way back just to piston it forward into-- BUWWHAM!
The Queen of the Facebusters avoided having her own mug splattered all over the barricade by pulling her head to the left at the last possible second. Doing so meant Starfire's knee flicked over the redhead's shoulder and slammed into the unforgiving steel! Estrina shrieked and hobbled backward, the usually mobile lightweight reduced to so much awkward hopping following her errant strike. As for Crane, she powered to her feet and went straight for her brunette, much to Starfire's disgust. “STAY BACK! STAY BACK, I SAID! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT HHHRRRHHHH!”
Mads snatched Estrina's right ankle and pulled away to straighten it out with a violent yank! Just that was enough to make the Celestial Stunner yowl in pain and it only got worse when the Glad Bomber whipped around and under the exposed limb, Maddy landing on her back to tear Estrina off her feet with a Dragon Screw.
DRAGON SCREW:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=79lCtQNKlpc
Still holding onto the other wrestler's throbbing leg as she returned to boot-leather, Maddy used the limb as a lever to turn Starfire onto her stomach before stepping over and tucking the brunette's shin beneath her left armpit. Placing her free hand against Estrina's knee for more leverage, Crane set her feet flat and craaaaaaaaaaanked back on the Single Leg Crab. “Don't bother tapping out, sweaty.” she chided. “I'm not going to let go until you've passed out... or I rip your leg off!”
SINGLE LEG CRAB:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLYyhztzq-8
“Hah..harghhhhh!!! As if you can make me ta—arghhhh!” Starfire scoffed at Crane before she cut her off with an abrupt yank.
“What’s that, Pitfire? You tapping?” Crane stood up and pulled the trapped leg even higher, an adjustment that considerably raised the volume of Estrina’s wailing.
“NOOO! I’m not gonna ta-” Crane relinquished the hold and spun out into an Ankle Lock position. But instead of securing that hold, she lifted Estrina’s leg into the air, then slammed it into the ground!
“URGHHH!” Estrina bawled and clutched her right knee in pain.
“Don’t force yourself to stand if you can't, sweaty.” Maddy slid back into the ring and gestured for the ref to count.
“Down! ONE... TWO... THREE...”
The Flawless Immortal promptly returned to her feet to stop the count as she pulled her knee-pad back into the place. Mads waggled her finger, “Come on, dork! Let’s do this in the ring!”
Estrina hobbled into the ring in a temper and The Smiling Knight met her near the ropes where they began to exchange Haymakers.
“Screw you!” Estrina broke the exchange with a European Uppercut and followed it with a Backhand Chop to the chest. Alternating between Forearm Smashes and Backhand Chops, The Glistening Goddess fought Maddy back to the center. “I’m just getting sta-UGHH!”
Maddy put a stop to Starfire’s offense with a swift kick to her right knee! “Yeah, just started getting your ass kicked!”
Maddy shuffled to Estrina’s side and folded her right leg. With one arm around Estrina’s waist, Mads lifted Estrina’s folded leg onto a posted knee! “Arghhh!” Estrina wailed and rolled away from her attacker in pain as she tried to neutralize that leg her early in the match.
“Stay down or it'll only get worse!” Maddy threatened the former Lightweight Champion as Estrina tried to create some distance. Defying Maddy, Estrina backed into the corner and pulled herself up with the aid of the ropes. Maddy charged toward Estrina with vicious intent but the nimble lightweight managed to roll out of harm’s way!
The Sultana of Slapstick braked with a foot to the second turnbuckle and glanced over her shoulder. Seeing Estrina hit the ropes, Maddy rushed to the center and tried to catch her with Clothesline—no! Estrina ducked under the swinging arm and went for the next ropes. As Maddy turned around, the returning Starfire took her head off with a Jumping Clothesline!
Maddy popped right back up after the offense. The clothesline wasn’t as effective given Starfire’s build, so Estrina hurried to her feet and headed for the ropes once more. This time, The Celestial Stunner threw her whole bodyweight onto Maddy to flatten her against the mat with a Running Crossbody!
“GET UP!” Estrina demanded as she grabbed a handful of Maddy’s hair and clutched her wrist. Back to her feet, Maddy winced as she got her left arm wrenched by Starfire. Keeping her hand clutched onto that wrist, The Flawless Immortal violently yanked Maddy in and slammed her elbow into the side of Maddy’s neck repeatedly!
“NNGHHH!! NNGHH!! NGNNGGH!”
Maddy dropped to one knee so Starfire pulled her back up with a Front Facelock, twisting her face up with neck bent against the point of one shoulder. “We're just getting started, bitch!” Estrina snarled before dropping onto her butt, driving the shoulder into Maddy’s neck!
OVER-THE-SHOULDER NECKBREAKER
youtu.be/zTe-0BFMvHI
The Sultana of Slapstick curled up and clutched her neck in pain.
“Down! ONE... TWO...”
Not counting on the Neckbreaker to put Maddy down for the ten count, Estrina exited the ring and began rummaging under the ring.
Still in pain, Crane fought to her feet by the count of 'FIVE!' and joined Estrina by the ringside. Abandoning her search, Estrina quickly got back up to engage Maddy in a fistfight!
“Bring it fuck-face!” Estrina gesticulated and smacked Maddy’s face with a stiff forearm!
“That’s a weak shot, but not unexpected from you!” Maddy slammed a forearm into Estrina’s face! The bitter rivals cupped the back of each other’s head and began laying Haymaker after Haymaker, but Maddy ultimately broke the stalemate with a stiff Headbutt! Starfire stumbled away, her red one-piece visibly darkened with sweat. The Sultana of Slapstick followed closely, trying to put on the pressure - “AHHHHHH! MY EYES!”
The damp dica collected sweat from under her arm, spun around and flicked them into Maddy’s eyes! “Soak them up, pit rag!”
Maddy rubbed her face violently, temporarily incapacitated by the stinging sensation in her eyes. The Glistening Goddess snatched her by the hair and threw her back-first into the barricade!
CLATTER-BANG!
Maddy writhed in pain as Al came down to the ringside.
“DOWN! ONE... TWO... THREE...” Starfire strutted along the ringside under a chorus of boos, showing off her armpit to the crowd in the most obnoxious way possible... “FOUR...FIVE… SIX... She’s up!”
Barely recovered from the offense, Maddy soon found herself on the receiving end of Estrina’s onslaught once more. The Flawless Immortal dragged Crane by the hair towards the announcer’s table and slammed her skull down onto it no less than half a dozen times! Maddy dropped to all fours, dazed by the table slam, while Estrina began clearing the table, making space for Maddy to rested upon.
The red-clad villainess snagged Maddy by her hair and trunks and threw her face-up onto the table. In response to Maddy’s groans, Starfire knocked her silly with a series of punches before ending it with a sweaty pit rubbing over her face! “I hope you like tasting and sniffing my pit, bitch!”
The crowd booed at the crude gesture but Starfire in her new persona was hardly bothered. Starfire joined Maddy on the announcer's table and pulled Crane up halfway before tucking her head between her thighs. The Glistening Goddess locked her arms around Maddy's waist and taunted, “I hope you stay down after this if you cherish your ca-", Maddy slipped out of the Standing Headscissors and threw Starfire onto the table with a Double Leg Takedown!
"Shut up you nasty bitch!" Maddy cursed before stomping hard into Estrina's stomach!
"NGNNN---you...", Estrina curled into the fetal position as her insides churned. Maddy returned to the ground and forcefully yanked Starfire off the table, letting her fall to the floor with a loud THUD! "Stand up bitch! Don't start hiding down there because I'm beating the crap out of you!" Maddy pulled the ring steps away from the steel post before returning to Estrina. Snatching Starfire by the hair, Maddy led her toward the ring steps and lifted her up by her togs before driving her face-first into the steel steps!
CRASH THUNDER BUSTER @ 2:00
youtu.be/iy-Rh9DcrV0
THWONK! Starfire went into a daze as her head bounced off the steel. Her arms flailed, looking for something to hold onto before collapsing. “DOWN! ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE... SIX... SEVEN...” Estrina climbed to her feet with the help of the apron. The Red Hook Joker caught Starfire by the strap and waistband and threw her right back into the ring, giving her a wedgie in the process. Starfire got back onto one knee, clearly not recovered from the Facebuster against the steps and Maddy planned to capitalize.
Crane charged and drove Estrina's shoulders back into the canvas with a running knee before circling back to her legs, intending to weaken The Flawless Immortal further.
Taking Starfire's ankles in each hand, Maddy raised the brunette's legs and spread them into a wide 'V' that had a concerned Estrina shaking her hands 'no, no, no!' “Don't you dare, cheater! You're not gonna beat me with a low blHHHRRGGHHH!” Crane raised her right foot and once again STOMPED on her foe's belly, the Princess of the Punchline making sure to grrrrrrrrriiiiiinnnd her heel back 'n forth before she set that foot beside Starfire's left hip. From there she crossed Estrina's left leg across the encroaching plank of her thigh, then hooked the brunette's right leg over that exposed shin to secure something that looked an awful lot like the beginning of a Sharpshooter. But rather than shovel Starfire onto her stomach, Maddy twisted around and dropped onto her tummy whereupon she immediately rolled to her back so she could brace her left heel against the Celestial Stunner's right ankle and push as hard as she could!
INVERTED FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2J5RmNehts
“AAAAAAAAWWWWWW GAAAAAAAAAHHH!” Starfire wailed long and loud as the Inverted Figure Four inflicted even more strain on her already damaged legs. Turned onto her stomach by the ruthless hold, she reached for the ropes only to pound a fist against the mat when Crane applied even more pressure.
“Where you going, sweaty?” Mads huffed as she pushed to a seat behind the suffering highflyer. “Those ropes aren't going to save you. Hell, tapping out won't save you. The only thing you can do is reverse the hold or hope you can still stand when I decide to let go. Think you can do that?” Maddy broke into a hard grin as another round of rough jostling earned more groans from her rival.
Estrina shook her head 'no' whether to refute the other woman's comments or to resist the strain of the Inverted Figure Four, no one could say. “Yuuuhhh... you're the one who'll need saving.” she promised in the midst of rising up on her elbows. “I'm gonna beat you so badly you can't even make it to your knees. That's when I'll put you to use like the sweat rag you really arROOOOOWWW BITCH!”
Absolutely tired of Starfire's disgusting threats, Maddy hunched forward, crooked her left hand into a claw and draaaaaaaaaaaaged it down the curve of Estrina's glutes more than half a dozen times! From there she flattened that hand into a paddle and went to work with hard spanks, the Sultana of Slapstick really leaning into that moniker as she endeavored to make Starfire's cheeks as red as her suit. “How you gonna do that, huh? Huh, baby? Answer me!” Crane wasn't just swatting now, she was PADDLING, the incensed battler putting her whole arm behind the butt-blistering shots to Estrina's rump. “What's wrong, no clever answer? Maybe it's because you know the only thing you're sweating on tonight is an infirmary bed!”
“FUCK YOU!” Starfire shrieked in rage and pain as she abruptly shifted from her elbows to her palms. “I'M STRONGER AND YOU KNOW IT!” she howled. “THAT'S WHY I'M A CHAMPION AND YOU'RE A CLOWOOOOWWWWW STAAAHHHPH! STAAAAHHHP!”
Maddy, who'd grabbed hold of the Flawless Immortal's trunks and yanked the material up and forward, jostled the malicious handle from side to side and said, “Hear them laughing, Estrina? That tells me you're the clown!”
Indeed a great deal of the FAWNatics were laughing at the arrogant battler's plight. Even worse, a growing number were chanting 'TAP, TAP, TAP!' as if she'd actually consider debasing herself to escape the redhead's hellish trap. Seeing only one way out that didn't involve soul-crushing humiliation, the former Lightweight Champion steeled her nerves and began inch her way toward the ropes, a task made all the more difficult because she was dragging Maddy's weight along for the ride.
Crane wasn't entirely sure what the brunette had in mind but she decided to make the journey as painful as humanly possible so she laid back and resumed driving her heel against Starfire's exposed right ankle. Doing so earned another loud yowl of pain from the former fan favorite but though it slowed her progress for a moment, it did not stop. This didn't bother Mads at all, she just focused on devastating those knotted stems while Estrina slowly closed in on the sanctuary of the strands. Teeth clenched against the horrible creeping numbness in her legs, the Celestial Stunner dug into her reserves for a burst of speed that finally allowed her to snatch the bottom rope. She didn't waste any breath demanding a break, instead she kept right on pulling, first to and then under the rubber-coated steel. As expected this didn't cause Crane to release the Leglock, so Estrina switched over from the ropes to the ring apron and kept right on pulling until she was practically dripping down the side of the squared circ--“NNNNNGHHHHH!”
Maddy relinquished her grip without warning, leaving the Singaporean Star to THWUMP to the floor below in an awkward heap! Treating herself to a deep breath as she shook the twinges from her stems, the Red Hook Joker pushed to her knees, then stood up and leaned against the ropes. Arms resting on the top strands she glanced to Al and said, “Count her down.”
Already in position to oblige such a request, Carpenter waited a beat before calling out, “ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE...” Starfire groaned, pushed to all fours and slowly crawled across the narrow aisle to the barricade while the zebra continued to count. “SIX... SEVEN... EIGHT...” Starfire reached up with both hands, grabbed onto the guardrail and hauled herself to a shaky verticality as Al called, “NINE!”
Ignoring the disappointed jeers of the fans in the first several rows, Estrina set her back against the barricade so she could watch Crane with narrow, hating eyes. “Is that the best you can do, loser?” she rasped to the redhead. “No wonder everyone thinks you're a joke.”
Maddy snorted, leaned over the ropes and replied, “Hey, why don't you try standing up straight before you mouth off to me, huh? Actually, wipe off the tears first, THEN stand up straight.”
“You don't give me orders.” Estrina sneered. “You're nothing but a disgusting sweat r--”
'OOOHHH!' from the FAWNatics when Crane slipped a hand into her armpit and flicked a mist at her adversary!
The distance was far too great for anything to actually reach Starfire, but the intent still hit the former Lightweight Champion like a slap across the face. “HOW DARE YOU!” she bellowed. “DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AG--”
Tired of talk, Mads slipped through the ropes, dropped to the floor and went straight for the Flawless Immortal! She was within inches of burying a hand in Starfire's damp hair when the brunette went to a familiar well, Estrina swiping a hand into her armpit to-- “HHHRGGHH!”
The Queen of the Facebusters must've seen it coming because she snatched hold of Starfire's wrist and twisted like she meant to turn her hand around backward! “Not this time, you cheating bitch.” Crane growled as Estrina squealed and went up on tiptoe. “You're never gonna get that nasty shit anywhere near me agUUUNNNGGGGHHHH!”
Starfire's right knee still throbbed like a rotten tooth, but the support of the barricade meant she had to put very little weight on it when she THUMPED her left knee into her rival's crotch! Maddy crumpled forward into a sloppy clench that forced the guardrail back into the shins of several front row fans directly behind the action. Starfire didn't mind however, she carried every bit of the redhead's weight so she could jab three more quick knees into the center of her trunks! “Never again, huh?” she hissed in Crane's ear. “Never again, that's what you said? Well let me show you how fast never comes around, bitch!”
Shoving Mads off for some much needed separation, Starfire turned the knock-kneed Princess of the Punchline around in a half circle, then stepped in and snaked her left arm around the other wrestler's vulnerable throat. “Eeeeeerrrgghh... MMMRRRRHHHHH!” Maddy began to struggle and thrash as Estrina yanked her back into an Inverted Facelock that she immediately converted into a Standing Dragon Sleeper which was itself simply a more pleasant name for the brunette's hellacious Pits of Starfire!
PITS OF STARFIRE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-5Lb4hLj94
“YOU'RE FINISHED!” The Celestial Stunner shrieked as she yoked Crane backward into the agonizing arch that strained her spine, wrenched her neck and stifled her face in one of the most dangerous smothers in FAWN. “YOU HEAR ME, PIT RAG? YOU'RE FINISHED! BEG FOR MERCY AND MAYBE I'LL LET YOU PASS OUT BEFORE AAAAAARRRGGHHHH LEGGO!”
Maddy, who'd buried her left hand in the brunette's hair and started to pull as hard as she could, did no such thing. In fact, she twisted her fingers even deeper into Starfire's sweaty locks and pulled that much harder. The strain on her neck forced Estrina to adjust her footing which put more pressure on her wounded knee despite the comforting brace of the barricade. Loathe to give up her hooks when she had the loser dead to rights, the Singaporean Star pulled her right hand away, crooked it into a spade and draaaaaaaaagged it up Crane's torso as payback for the clawing she'd endured earlier!
“Let go of my hair!” she demanded of the trapped New Yorker. “Let go before I make you bleedDOOOOOOWWWWWW FUCK!”
Breaking her grip had loosened Estrina's control enough for Maddy to turn her head and chomp down on her attacker's bicep! Shaking her head in frustrated disgust as she felt her knees start to give way, Starfire took a deep breath , then pushed the both of them away from the barricade and dropped to her butt to THWUMP the base of Maddy's skull into the thinly-padded floor with a Reverse DDT!
REVERSE DDT:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF7mU_etT9o
The desperation attack left Crane stretched out in a defenseless sprawl but Estrina wasn't doing much better as she was curled up on her left side with that damaged right knee pulled tight against her chest.
Looking down from the ring, the ref began to administer the count for both girls.
“ONE... TWO... THREE...” Estrina rolled to her fours, as did Maddy with one hand over her neck... “FOUR... FIVE... SIX...” The pair looked briefly at each other before popping back to their feet and returning to the ring. With no regard for their injuries, the feuding wrestlers threw themselves at each other, sending forearms into each other's faces with the crowd echoing along after each blow. Estrina put an end to the exchange with a left knee to the midsection and while it wasn't as strong as her right, it gave her enough time to hit the ropes with -- NO! The Princess of Punchline grabbed Starfire by one leg and launched her into the air, dropping her face-first into the canvas with a Flapjack!
FLAPJACK
youtu.be/wdJxVVurew0
The Flawless Immortal covered her face and curled up in pain upon landing. The Glad Bomber pushed herself to verticality and sank her talons back into Starfire's sweaty locks. "Get up, sweaty!" Mads snarled as she returned the Glistening Goddess to boot-leather, her right knee genuflecting as an indication of serious damage. "What's the matter? Can't stand without my help?"
"SCREW YOU!" Estrina bellowed and shoved Mads away, struggling to balance on her shaky right leg.Crane snickered at the sight of her opponent before charging in with a jumping knee but Estrina deflected the knee at the last moment and shuffled behind the Red Hook Joker. "GO TO HELL!" Estrina shouted as she wrapped her arms around Mads' waist and hauled her up in a high angle German Suplex!
GERMAN SUPLEX
youtu.be/nK3YL1yPZkM
"UGHHH!" Maddy groaned and stumbled to her knees, the redhead clutching her neck in agony. With a damaged leg, Estrina got up half as fast but still managed to mount on top of Maddy's back causing Crane to cover the back of her head and neck in response! "Give it up bitch! I'm gonna pit you out!", Starfire yelled as she hammered away, forcing Maddy to break her guard. As Estrina gradually gained access to her opponent's neck, she peeled the Red Hook Joker's top half off the canvas and snaked her arms around the-- "AHHHHHH!!! YOU BITING BITCH!" Estrina screamed as Maddy chomped on her attacking arm, avoiding the more dangerous version of Estrina's trademark smother.
Al began to administer the count as both ladies struggled to their feet, granting respite to each other as they crawled to opposite sides of the ring, relying on the ropes for support, huffing and puffing in their respective corners. Estrina ran her fingers down her armpit and flicked in Maddy's direction in an attempt to provoke Mads but earned an insult from the Princess of Punchline instead. "Hey girl, wear some deodorant next time! I can smell you from here!"
The crowd broke into laughter as Starfire blushed in embarrassment and anger. In fits of rage, Starfire hobbled towards her opponent while Maddy charged out of her corner to engage. With her leg compromised, Estrina resorted to a Clothesline but missed as Maddy ducked under and circled behind. Estrina yelped as Mads sent her down on one knee with a kick to her damaged leg, before locking in a Rear Naked Choke on the feisty Starfire!
"HNNGRRHHHH!" Starfire gripped tightly on her attacker's arms, trying to sink her nails into them. Losing consciousness here would definitely spell trouble for The Glistening Goddess here! "Go to sleep Estrina! For ten seconds or so and then this will be over!"
"ERGHHHH!" Estrina clawed desperately as she felt her strength and consciousness leave her body. As Starfire's body went limp, Mads released the hold and spun her around in a half-circle, trapping her in a Front Facelock. Crane threw the near arm across her shoulders and snatched a handful of Estrina's tog around the waist before muscling the lightweight into the air! The Sultana of Slapstick twisted into--NO! Estrina managed to throw Maddy out of the spinning axis and reversed Maddy's Insult 2 Injury into a Neckbreaker!
"NGGGHHH!" Maddy rolled onto her belly and thumped her legs on the canvas in pain. Maddy's neck appeared to be in a very rough shape after several precise attacks from Starfire that a simple neck wrench would make her tap. Meanwhile, the insensate Starfire heaved on the canvas, struggling to get oxygen to her lungs, and more importantly, her brain after the choke.
“ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE...” Both of them started to get up at this point barely making up to their feet by the count of 'NINE!'
“Yuuuuuhhh... you're going to look real good wearing a neck-brace, bitch.” Estrina told the redhead as they resumed circling. “Maybe they medics can whip up something else to go around your waist since you'll never win a--”
“Fuck off, peg-leg.” Maddy snapped. “We both know you're gonna be the biggest prima donna the ICU has ever seen. God knows those poor people don't deserve you, but it'll be a fucking pleasure to not listen to your whining for a few--”
CRACK! The sound of Estrina's scathing Bitch Slap was followed by an audible groan from Maddy once the brunette snatched a huge hank of hair and wrenched her sore neck back at an awkward angle. “Keep that mouth shut, damn you.” Estrina jabbed a finger into Maddy's chest, then followed it with another brisk slap. “You just keep it shut and remember how unbelievably lucky you are to be in the presence of the world's greatest wrestNNNNGGGHHH!”
Crane pulled back her left foot and jabbed the toe of that boot into Starfire's vulnerable right knee! Estrina yelped, let loose of Mads' hair and hobbled backward on one leg in an effort to keep her weight off that throbbing joint. Eyes cold and hard, the Sultana of Slapstick feigned another kick to the brunette's knee, then flicked out an answering slap that swiveled the former Lightweight Champion's head to one side. In the next instant she caught hold of Starfire's dark hair and sprang into the air, Maddy kicking her legs out into a wide 'V' to guarantee there was nothing but a thin stretch of canvas between Estrina's startled mug and a wide swath of plywood!
SIT-OUT FACEBUSTER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uH54njruvM
The Celestial Stunner moaned and turned her head to the side, one questing hand flitting toward her nose to see if that awful delinquent had done any permanent damag-- “AAAARRRRMMMMPPPPHHHH!”
Still latched onto Starfire's hair, Crane forced her foe's head face-down and began to scrub it back and forth like someone trying to remove a particularly stubborn stain! “You're not the best anything.” Maddy growled over the muffled protestations of her wailing rival. “You're just a nasty little bully who can't deal with the fact that she's not as good as sherrrrggghhhhhh!”
Estrina couldn't pull her face away from the aggressive abrading so she shaped both hands into claws and clamped down on the insides of the New Yorker's thighs! “Bhedder dhan yoo!” Starfire bellowed against the mat as she tried to rip her way free of Maddy's grasp. “Nomadder whad, Ah'm bhedder dhan yoobidgeNNNNGGGHHH!”
Maddy yanked Estrina's head up by a good six inches and THWHONKED it down hard enough to make even Starfire's most strident detractors groan in sympathetic anguish. Taking a sec to catch her wind after Estrina settled down, Crane got to all fours then circled around to the other wrestler's feet and set to work pulling Starfire's right knee-pad down over her boot. Once that was done she clamped down on the brunette's right ankle then stood up and-- “NGH! NGH! NGH! UGGHH!”
Estrina twisted over onto her back, drew her left knee up to her chest and unleashed three quick kicks into the pit of Maddy's stomach! She followed this with a single shot to the redhead's trunks, a vile Low Blow that sent her crumpling to one knee! Roaring with triumph as she scrambled free of the other wrestler's clutches, Estrina scrambled to verticality and started to pull her knee-pad back into place before changing her mind. “This how you want to fight, loser?” she rubbed her bare knee for emphasis. “Let's see if you can handle it!” With that she hobbled back into the ropes and pushed off hard, the Celestial Stunner fighting through the pain to build up a strong head of steam before she hopped up, landed with her left foot on Crane's right knee so she could THWHACK her shin upside the penitent grappler's skull!
SHINING WIZARD:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6vu2GR8RhM
The Shining Wizard sent Maddy sprawling and Estrina almost went for a pin before she remembered it wouldn't do a damned thing. Instead she hobbled to her feet as quickly as she could while also shouting at Al Carpenter. “COUNT HER DOWN! COUNT THAT SORRY LOSER DOWN!”
The ref didn't need to be told twice, he moved into position and called out, “ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE... SIX...” Maddy rolled onto her stomach, reached out an arm and happened to drape it over the middle rope. Grabbing on at 'SEVEN!', she let out a woozy grunt and used the rubber-coated steel to drag herself upright just as Al called 'NINE!'
Back against the buckles on the far side of the ring, Estrina watched Maddy's return to verticality with open disgust. “Oh you stupid, stupid, bitch.” she hissed. “This isn't on me. It's not my fault you're too fucking dumb to know you're outclassed!”
Lining up her shot even as Maddy pushed herself away from the strands, Starfire bolted across the mat at top speed and took to the skies just as Crane was turning to find the Flawless Immortal. If this'd happened during either of their previous encounters Maddy would've been Starstruck on the spot, tonight however the Queen of the Facebusters managed to catch hold of Estrina's right ankle and take a giant step back to effectively transform the knock-out shot into a Single Leg Takedown! Stuffing Estrina's shin under one armpit, Crane yanked the brunette up into a near handstand before turning her over and sitting down full force, Mads clearly trying to touch the sole of Starfire's boot to the back of her head with the Half Crab!
SINGLE LEG CRAB:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGFCIWjMwZY
"ARGHHH! SHI-AHHH!” Estrina pulled her hair in agony while Maddy leaned back farther, rejoicing in the painful screams of the Singaporean star. Starfire threw several elbows into Maddy's hip but that only instigated her to jolt the hold, causing Estrina to tap on the mat furiously!
"Tapping won't save you sweaty! But it certainly makes me happy!" Maddy snarked as Estrina buried her face in the canvas.
"You think I don't know tha--ARGHH!! STOP!", Estrina's bark turned into pitiful puppy cries as Maddy lifted her entire lower half off the canvas, letting her damaged leg bear the weight. The elevation allowed Starfire to push her body off the ground and slipped between Maddy's legs! Using her free leg, Estrina kicked The Red Hook Joker in her midsection, freeing herself from her torturer's grasp, even if briefly.
"Need some help, peg-leg?" The Sultana of Slapstick circled around Estrina and interrupted the ref's count as she peeled the sweaty battler off the canvas. "Ugh--so damp.-UGH!" Maddy groaned as the half-risen Estrina struck her with a low blow once more! "You cheating..." Maddy turned to the side before going down on her knees, clutching her groin in pain.
"..No DQ bitch..." Estrina muttered as she struggled to her feet, wobbling slightly as she stood. Moving sluggishly,The Glistening Goddess moved behind Crane and shoved her chest-first onto the canvas. Straddled over Maddy, the sweaty battler signaled to the crowd with a raised left arm and swiping of her armpit before smearing that pit sweat over Maddy's features. "You better soak this up real good!' Starfire snarled as she pressed Maddy into the ground and snaked one arm over her head, making sure to stuff Maddy's nose and mouth were sealed by her damp rancid armpit!
PITS OF STARFIRE
youtu.be/vHUokxpuBpg
"MRRPRGGGGGGGHHHH!" Maddy thrashed and slapped the canvas as Estrina tried to bend her neck out of shape while cutting off her air. "PASS OUT BITCH!" Estrina shrieked as she twisted her body back-and-forth to grind Maddy's features. "YOU'RE DONE PIT SNIF-ARGH! ARGHH! ARGHHH!!!!"
The Red Hook Joker freed herself with a few elbow shots digging into Starfire's bad knee, throwing her off the mount! Estrina rolled away from Maddy, pulling her knee towards her chest, giving Crane necessary time to catch her breath. The ref moved into position and began counting, "ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...” Maddy made it to their feet by the count of 'SEVEN!' while Estrina rolled out of the ring hanging onto the apron for support.
The Smiling Knight aimed for the ropes, picking up speed as she charged at Estrina, attempting to send her into the barricade with a Baseball Slide but--NOO!!! Starfire moved out of the way and buffeted her opponent with a barrage of forearms before doubling her over with a knee to the gut!
"Screw you!" Estrina snarled before tucking Maddy's head between her legs and flipped her onto the shoulders. Not being able to hold the position for long on one good leg, The Flawless Immortal promptly dropped Maddy onto the apron, the stiffest part of the ring!
APRON POWERBOMB
youtu.be/EVlLgbAQiIE
"NGNNNN!" Maddy winced in pain before dropping back onto the ringside in slow-mo. "Still think lightweights are weak?!" Starfire questioned the crowd but was greeted with boos and jeers!
The ref moved toward the ropes and began counting, but seeing how Maddy was already clambering to her feet, Starfire prepared for her next attack. Rummaging under the ring, The Glistening Goddess pulled out a chair, much to the crowd's disapproval. Instead of swinging the chair, The Celestial Stunner opened it up and set the woozy Crane onto the seat. Estrina climbed onto the apron, patting her right knee a few times before hopping off the apron and smashing Maddy into the ground with a Meteora!
APRON METEORA
youtu.be/WbNXcODd2H8
The collision left Crane stretched out in a sprawled ruin that would've been a perfect opportunity for Estrina to call for a count if she hadn't been curled up beside the flattened redhead with her wounded right knee pulled close to her chest! Knowing damned well that Bethany Christian wouldn't allow a Last Woman Standing bout to end in a draw unless both competitors were at the bottom of an actual crater, Al Carpenter checked on each of his charges before stepping away to see who might rise first.
Well it took almost fifteen seconds but the Celestial Stunner finally rolled to all fours and crawled her way to the steel steps. “Count her down!” she demanded to the official. “Count her down, I knocked her the hell out!”
Al couldn't argue with that point so he took a step forward and called, “ONE... TWO... THREE...”
Cheers from the FAWNatics and a roar of disgust from Starfire when Mads flopped onto her stomach and fought to one knee! “WHAT THE HELL!?” Starfire shrieked at the ref. “SHE'S BEEN DOWN FOREVER, WHY'D YOU TAKE SO LONG TO START COUNTING?”
“You were down too, Estrina.” he answered as calmly as he could. “I can't start a count when you're both--”
“OH SHUT UP!” In no mood for any more nonsensical whining, Estrina stalked over to the penitent New Yorker, grabbed a double handful of hair and--THWHACK! Maddy shot to boot-leather just to leap up and snap the heel of one foot into Starfire's chin with a beautiful Crane Kick!
Estrina's head snapped backward and she wheeled around in a loopy half circle, the brunette tottering away from the resurgent Queen of Facebust--“Get back here, baby!” Maddy grabbed hold of Estrina's one-piece, reeled her in and quickly yanked both arms behind her back in a Double Chickenwing. Soon as that was done she bent her knees and hoisted Starfire off her feet, the Singaporean star yowling in pain at the pressure applied to her shoulders. This turned out to be the least of her problems when Maddy relinquished the Chickenwing to wrap her arms around Starfire's thighs while simultaneously slinging her down and dropping to a seat, the Princess of the Punchline THWHAPPING Estrina on her face, chest and tummy with a huge Render of the Vales!
RENDER OF THE VALES:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KDx892MAa0
Maddy looked at the ref so he'd know she was looking for a count but it never even got started because Starfire somehow bounced to her feet and kept right on walking! Or rather, stumbling awkwardly with both hands limp at her sides and a glassy 'wha hoppen?' expression pasted across her face as it seemed the former Lightweight Champion was running on nothing more than adrenaline and muscle memory. This combination got her around the nearest corner before exhaustion caught up and she pitched forward in a face-down heap.
“Drippy little cockroach.” Crane grunted as she got to her feet. “Of course you couldn't just stay here and lose. Start the count, Al.”
Carpenter was already on it, having bustled by Mads so he could get a better view of the other wrestler. “ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE... SIX...”
Estrina started to move, not vertically but horizontally, the vulnerable battler dragging herself toward the apron so it could aid her in standing up. The rules wouldn't let Crane stop Starfire from rising but she could sure as hell be there to meet her so she took a deep breath and hurried around the corner to-- “HEY! Where the fuck do you think you're going?”
Estrina hadn't just reached the apron, she'd pulled it up and dragged herself almost halfway under the ring! Not about to let her rival get away with that sort of brazen cheating, Maddy snagged hold of Starfire's ankles and started yanking her back out into the light! “NO! LET GO OF ME, DAMN YOU!” Estrina fought like a madwoman, twisting and writhing, she even managed to flip over onto her back, yet Crane refused to let her go.
“I don't think so, cutie. You want to crawl away and hide? Lemme give you a real reason to crawl away and hide!”
Shifting her grip so that Starfire's shins were trapped beneath her armpits, Mads locked her hands tight, then hunkered down low and hit full reverse to drag the struggling grappler back out into view. The odd chemical smell hit her first, Maddy didn't actually notice the damp towel until Estrina sat up and stuffed it into her face! Head swimming with a single deep breath, Crane let go and would've stumbled away if Starfire hadn't pressed her other hand to the back of the New Yorker's skull.
“GOTCHA NOW, LOSER!” Estrina proclaimed as Maddy tried to twist away from the smothering towel. “BET'CHA WISH YOU'D STAYED DOWN BEFORE, DON'T YA? WELL IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW!”
Maddy struggled ferociously at first, but her arms eventually went limp and dropped to her sides, followed by her knees to the ground. Satisfied with the outcome, The Flawless Immortal tossed the suspicious towel into the crowd, who quickly realized it had had been soaked in chloroform! The crowd booed loud but there was nothing Al could do!
Starfire pulled the drowsy Maddy back onto her knees and clutched both her wrists, choosing to put her knee on the line for safe measure. The Glistening Goddess drew her right knee back and slammed it into the back of Maddy's hurt neck!
EVENT HORIZON

"ARGHHH!" Estrina yelped in pain and fell onto the ground, clutching her knee in pain as Maddy crumpled to the floor. "COUNT HER! COUNT HER NOW!" Starfire shouted as she hurriedly got back to her feet and leaned onto the ring for support.
"ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE... SIX...” Maddy laid motionless as the count continued, "SEVEN... EIGHT...NINE... TEN!”
"YES!"
DING DING DING!
"Ladies and gentlemen, your winner via knockout! ESTRINA STARFIRE!”
Starfire raised her arms overhead and bellowed in exhausted triumph even as the crowd jeered in protest. Quite unimpressed by their disdain, Estrina gathered her strength and staggered towards her fallen rival, casually placing a boot on her Maddy's back to draw more ire from the FAWNatics. The victorious Starfire flexed her arms as the camera focused on her. "No one matches up to my flawlessness, not even you!" Starfire slid her hand under her arm and flicked beads of sweat onto the camera lens.
With that, she left the arena albeit with an awkward gait before the promo for the next match screened.
