The opening riff of the music played to the rhythm of the flickering lights as The Celestial Stunner stepped into the arena, welcomed by a chorus of boos. Despite not being scheduled for a match tonight, The Singaporean walked towards the ring, clad in a skimpy navy blue one-piece with a V-neck that plunged all the way down to her navel, completed with yellow knee pads and white boots. With a towel hanging over her neck, Estrina ascended the ring steps and carefully stepped through the ropes and made a beeline toward the Announcer's side of the ring, requesting a mic.
ESTRINA STARFIRE:
THUD! THUD!
Estrina tested the mic with a few taps before bringing it to her lips.
"Well, well, well, look who's gathered here to witness greatness! It seems that all of you are blessed with the opportunity to witness the grandeur that is me!"
"Yes, my recent string of losses may have tarnished my record. BUT let's be clear: It is not because I am weak! NO! In fact, those were mere flukes! "
"I stand here, and demand a match from anyone who thinks they can add another 'L' to my records and prove ALL OF YOU WRONG!" Estrina punctuated her statement with a sweep of her finger around the ring.
Starfire dropped the mic (much to the Announcer's chagrin) then turned her attention to the stage and stretched her arms wide, daring anyone in the locker room to show themselves. Several seconds went by with no response Estrina sighed in disgust, made a show of tapping her foot and glancing at an invisible watch only to look up when the crowd cheered the unexpected arrival of.... Senior Official Nick Castle?
Hurrying down the aisle amidst a flurry of disappointed grumbling from those present, Castle called out, “What're you doing, Estrina? The card's loaded tonight, you can't just barge out here and demand a match!”
“The hell I can't!” Estrina countered. “I talked to Bethany this afternoon and she told me she was certain some loser would be desperate enough to accept my challenge, even if it means getting her ass kicked in front of the world!”
Already at the foot of the ramp, Nick strode to the steel steps and made his way up to the apron. “Don't lie to me, Estrina! I just spoke with Bethany and she told me to get out here so you'd stop holding up the sh--”
INVINCIBLE:

Nick looked startled and Estrina looked confused but the FAWNatics didn't notice, they were too busy cheering their guts out when the Announcer called out, “Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Estrina's opponent! Hailing from Antonio Bay, California, she stands at five feet four inches tall and weighs in tonight at one hundred and thirty-three pounds. She is a former Intercontinental Champion, a former World Champion and last but certainly not least, the Girl of 8,675, 309 Holds! This is JENNY JACOBS!”
“She told me we didn't have any extra time on the card.” Castle grumbled under his breath.
“She told me it was gonna be Winter Fyre!” Estrina hissed through clenched teeth.
JENNY JACOBS:
The curtain parted again and this time it was the Innovator with J's already raised high overhead. Though she'd failed to thwart Victoria Hackenschmidt from surpassing her formerly record setting IC title reign during her last appearance a few months back, that defeat didn't stop the crowd from welcoming the veteran at full volume. Acknowledging the response with a grin and a holstering of those dangerous finger guns, Jacobs turned her attention to the Celestial Stunner and started her way toward the ring. For tonight's match against the former Lightweight Champion she wore the indigo version of her ‘starstruck’ briefs as well as a matching halter-style top with the cups held together by a small metal buckle in the shape of a star. Her boots and pads were a deep, glossy black while her hair was swept back in a bob that just tickled her shoulders. Reaching the shadow of the squared circle, she took the time to make a circuit around the ring to greet all the front row FAWNatics heading up the steel steps.
Careful to wipe the soles of her boots on the apron, she took the top rope in both hands and vaulted into the squared circle with a crisp little 'thump!' Giving the fuming brunette a wide berth for the moment, she turned to the hard camera and offered everyone another pair of upraised J's. Both of them went into the holsters this time, thus ensuring she'd be ready for any potential sweaty sneak attack Estrina might launch during Nick's final inspection.
Estrina, clearly quite perturbed over having her thunder stolen by the Girl of 8,675,309 Holds, rushed from the corner as soon as the bell sounded to claim the center of the squared circle well before her blonde adversary. “Who do you think you are, huh?” she snapped at the approaching veteran. “Just because you got your sorry ass kicked by Hackenschmidt doesn't mean you can strut out here to try and ruin MY moment.” Starfire smirked, looked Jacobs up and down. “Not like you're going to succeed. Victoria might be a giant weirdo, but she also proved you're not good enough to hang with elite level taleNNGGGHH!”
Jenny sprang up and drew her knees in close just to piston her legs straight forward, the former World Champion THWHAPPING Estrina's chest with a gorgeous Dropkick that saw Jacobs push off in a Moonsault-like flip that brought her down on her stomach while Starfire crashed to the deck!
DROPKICK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2uqzP7KRBc
The shot hit hard but Estrina was on her knees in an instant and--'oooooooooooooohhhh!' from the crowd when Jenny stepped to the kneeling battler and held a pair of J's inches from her nose! Starfire swatted them away, popped to her feet and lashed out with a Clothesline that Jacobs ducked at the last possible instant. Starfire ground to a halt, pivoted around on her back foot and hopped forward to unleash a Super Kick aimed at the point of the veteran's chi—NO!
Jenny caught hold of the brunette's ankle and took a step back to keep the limb stretched out full length. In the next instant she dropped into a crouch, then shot up on tiptoe and flung Starfire's foot high into the sky! Most wrestlers would've landed awkwardly on their head and shoulders if subjected to such treatment, but the Celestial Stunner pushed off with her remaining foot to provide enough momentum to transform the potentially rough landing into a gorgeous flip that saw her stick the landing with both arms raised in a jaunty 'V'!
“That all you got, old timer?” Starfire taunted over the noise of the crowd. “You're gonna have to do better than that to hang with--” A thunderous cheer from the Jacobites when their leader stepped in and once again held the J's directly in front of Estrina's nose! “How dare you!” Starfire slapped Jenny's hands down, then rocked her back on her heels with a heavy shove! “You put your damned hands in my face again and I'll--”
CRACK!
Estrina's head snapped to the side when Jenny lit up one side of her face with a huge Bitch Slap! “What're you gonna do, cutie?” Jacobs taunted as the brunette rubbed at the welt on her cheek. “What's an elite competitor like you have in mind? Ya gonna drip on--”
Estrina rocked her with another hard shove, then ran her fingertips up her torso so she could flick a mist of sweat into the blonde fa—NOT TONIGHT!
Jenny put a stop to that rudeness with a single hard Knife-Edge Chop across her opponent's tits! Starfire grimaced and stamped her feet, both hands flying to freshly raised wel—Jacobs grabbed hold of her left wrist in both hands and treated the former Lightweight Champion to an Arm Ringer that doubled Estrina over. In the same instant Jenny sidled in on the brunette's left flank and deftly threaded her right leg around Starfire's left thigh. “NO!” Estrina shouted in concern. “What do you think you're doing, this is MY movVEERRRGGHHH!”
Jacobs brought her left leg up and over, the NorCal Sensation pressing the back of that thigh down across the nape of Estrina's neck to apply a great deal of strain! “What, this is your move?” Jacobs jostled her constraining thigh, as she reached her left arm across Starfire's back to hook her right bicep and craaaaaaaaaaaaank that arm back at an unpleasant angle. “If it's your move, why're you showing off my J's?”
OCTOPUS:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNWdFdvyMoY
Estrina was doing nothing of the sort of course, at least not until Jacobs grabbed hold of her opponent's vulnerable right hand smooshed her middle, ring, and pinkie fingers down into a loose fist. The result was more 'L' than 'J', but it didn't stop the FAWNatics from breaking into a rousing chant of 'JEN-NY! JEN-NY!' as the blonde kept Starfire on display.
Forced to brace her free hand against the mat to alleviate the worst of the pressure, Estrina growled, “Eeeerrrhhhh... get off of me! I'm not about to submit to yoOW! OW! OW!”
Jenny let loose of Starfire's hand so she could deliver several undefended slaps to the smaller wrestler's squirming glutes! “Oh, I think you will submit.” Jacobs teased the squirming battler. “And even if you don't, I'll still scratch my name on your cheeks!”
“No you won't!” Estrina pushed up and managed to waddle a few steps closer to the ropes. “You're not gonna do anything but lick my Pitssssseeerrrrggghhhhhhh!”
“The Innovator curled her index finger into a hook and slowly draaaaaaaaaaaggged it along Estrina's right butt cheek in an angry red 'J'! “Aren't you supposed to be really slippery?” Jacobs resumed swatting her foe's glutes, much to the delight of the Summer Swelter crowd.
Even though it was early in the match, Nick Castle knew the Octopus was nothing to trifle with, especially when the hold was cinched so tight. Kneeling beside the action, he asked, “What do you say, Estrina? Need me to call for the--”
“NO!” Starfire snapped at once. “I'm not going to quit to this washout!”
Jacobs frowned, responded to the insult with a sharp pinch to the Asian Sensation's wriggling buns. “Better watch your mouth, sweat-stain.” she warned. “Otherwise I'll tie you in knots so tight they'll have to--”
Estrina shifted abruptly, lowering her head and drawing back to escape the crushing weight of the blonde's leg. This new freedom allowed the brunette to slip the arm control and drop to her back where she immediately twisted around and--“OOOFFFHH!” Starfire got caught in her own escape hatch when the Innovator planted a foot on either side of her hips and dropped a heavy butt bomb into the pit of her stomach! Spinning around to secure a more traditional mount, Jacobs grabbed a handful of Estrina's hair and yanked her head off the mat so she could tuck it beneath her left armpit. From there the blonde reached behind her own back and clasped her hands in a S-grip that made it all the more difficult for Starfire to wriggle free when Jenny wrenched back on what was essentially a Guillotine Choke.
Growling as she was subjected to the painful predicament, Starfire balled her right hand into a fist and pounded several punches into Jacobs' left hip before she grabbed hold of the veteran's waistband and gave it a sharp yank! The wedgie earned a grimace from JJ, but she didn't relent so Starfire used the grip to pivot the blonde to one side which in turn allowed the Celestial Stunner to spin onto her knees so the Guillotine was now little more than a Front Facelock. Confident she was on her way out, Estrina gave Jenny another rude wedgie and followed up with some spanking of her own. “You're not good enough to compete with me, loser!” she explained to the brawny blonde. “Better hold on while you still can because sooner or later you'll be nothing but my towEEERRRGGHHHHH!” Breaking the S-grip without relinquishing her control over the brunette's head, Jacobs straightened up and twisted around behind Estrina. Doing so twisted the Front Facelock into one of the Inverted variety and things grew all the more dire when the blonde dropped to a seat and slapped a Scissors around her opponent's waist!
NO ESCAPING THE INNOVATOR:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJeRog3IIEA
“This is your move too, right?” Jenny taunted as she bore down on the Scissors and craaaaaaaaaanked back on the Facelock while Estrina wailed into her armpit! “Can't say I ever gave much thought to submitting a brat with my armpit before, but all that crying tells me I should reconsider! Hey, is my deodorant doing a good job? It's supposed to moisturize, I'd hate to have it grinding against your mouth and nose.” The smirk on Jenny's face suggested such a thing wouldn't bother her in the slightest, especially when she squeezed the Bodyscissors even harder to earn louder groans from her struggling captive.
“BIDGE!” Starfire squealed in muffled disgust as she tried to prize Jenny's arm clear of her face. “YHUR GHONNA PAY FOR EEERRRRGGGGHHHH!”
Jacobs curled her free hand into a claw and plunged it into the brunette's belly, the veteran making a point to gouge her index finger into the other wrestler's navel! “For what, baby?” Jenny teased. “Answering your challenge? Shutting your big mouth? Or maybe you're just mad I'm embarrassing you the same way you've embarrassed so many othRRGGHH OW DAMMIT!”
Estrina couldn't quite get free, but she wriggled enough to get her mouth against Jenny's bicep and she bit down until the former World Champion was forced to abandon her hooks! Barrel rolling clear of the blonde's grasp as soon as she was free, Starfire slid under the bottom rope and backpedaled across the narrow aisle to rest against the guardrail.
As for Jenny, she pushed to one knee and gingerly rubbed at the bright red crescent marring the underside of her arm. On her feet shortly thereafter, the NorCal Sensation walked over to the edge and mounted the bottom rope to invite her foe back into the ring. “That all you've got, baby? If you wanted to bite your way out you should've challenged me to a catfight.”
Estrina scowled and continued to massage the nape of her aching neck. “I can beat you in whatever kind of match I want!” she countered. “Now get your old ass back so I can return to the ring!”
Jenny actually climbed onto the second rope and Estrina scrambled to one side to avoid any possible high risk offense. The blonde just scoffed and flipped off her perch to land in the middle of the ring where she immediately raised the J's to a raucous cheer from the capacity crowd.
"What a bitch..." Estrina muttered under her breath before rejoining Jenny in the squared circle. Tension rose as The Celestial Stunner met The Innovator at the center of the ring and lowered herself into a grappling stance, drawing Jenny in for a Test of Strength.
"So that's what you want h-ARGHH!" Just as Jenny was ready to engage, Estrina surprised the blonde with a kick to the midsection! Starfire followed up with a couple of dazing blows to the face, sending Jacobs into the ropes before whipping her across the ring. The veteran shook off the dizzying blows and stomped her foot firmly against the canvas on the first step before counter-whipping the Singaporean into the ropes instead.
"Cheap tactics ain't gonna work on me, Starfire!" Jenny followed Estrina to the center of the ring as she sought to knock the returning brunette to the canvas with a Clothesline--But NO! The Celestial Stunner slipped under the attacking arm and followed through to the opposite ropes before knocking the Innovator down with a forearm on the return trip!
Jenny did not stay down for long, she scrambled to her feet but was quickly flattened again with two boots to the chest as soon as she stood up. Starfire swiftly peeled Jacobs from the canvas and trapped her in a Front Facelock. With a firm grasp on Jenny's waistband, The Flawless Immortal lifted Jenny into the air and sent her crashing back-first onto the canvas with a classic Vertical Suplex!
SUPLEX
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPxbjIs7wYM
Estrina floated over Jenny's body and pressed her shoulders to the mat for the...
ONE!
TWO!
The Innovator forcefully kicked out at 'TWO' and sat up but soon found herself trapped in the ensnaring arm of Starfire. The Celestial Stunner capitalized on the opening and secured Jenny in a vise-like grip, trapping her in a Sleeper Hold. The Celestial Stunner sought to wear down the blonde, hoping to drain her energy and reduce her chances of mounting a comeback. Jenny's air supply diminished as the pressure on her neck and throat increased. Refusing to succumb to the hold, Jacobs mustered her energy and pushed them both to their feet. Rotating her body bit by bit as the hold would allow, positioning her elbow towards Estrina's midsection and knocking her wind out. "URGH! URGH!" Starfire's hold loosened, allowing Jenny to slip loose but Estrina caught her by the hair and yanked the blonde to the mat!
"ARGHH!!" Jacobs grunted and clutched her head in pain after it collided with the deck. Starfire received a warning from the Senior Official about the illicit hair pulling but she was paying him no mind. Instead, she quickly followed up with a stomp into Jenny's ribs, forcing her to curl on one side.
"Don't you dare steal my move you old hag!" Starfire snarled and delivered a kick to the small of Jenny's exposed back. The Sweaty Sensation picked Jenny off the canvas and shoved her into the corner by a palm on her face. With a firm grip on Jenny's wrist, Estrina forcefully whipped her toward the opposite corner of the ring. The Innovator's back collided with the turnbuckle, eliciting a resounding THUD. Before Jenny could regain her bearings, Estrina seized the moment, charging forward with remarkable speed and agility. Leaping into the air with astonishing precision, Starfire propelled herself toward her vulnerable opponent. Her knees were aimed directly at Jenny's chest, poised to deliver a devastating blow.
Right before the collision, Jenny slipped out of the corner but Estrina reacted quickly as well, planting both feet on the second rope instead of colliding into the turnbuckle. Jenny tried to take advantage of the opening but Estrina executed a flawless back-flip then allowed her to land behind The Innovator. Jacobs charged The Sweaty Sensation but got taken to the ground with a drop toe hold and Starfire quickly secured both of Jenny's legs under her arms and trapped her in a painful Boston Crab!
BOSTON CRAB
www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVLnXmI0pIs
"I'm putting full effort this time! Tap out bitch!" Estrina yelled as she leaned farther back!
Jacobs only grunted and bared her teeth, the veteran holding on despite the increasingly painful angle of the Boston Crab. Far from pleased by this resolute silence, Starfire bounced her butt against the small of Jenny's back once, twice, three times, then began to slide back so the curve of her glutes came to rest atop the blonde's shoulders. “So you like J's, is that right?” Estrina taunted. “My favorite letter is O, because I love bending losers in circles!”
“Eeerrggghhh... is that the reason?” Jacobs braced her elbows against the mat and tried to crawl forward, but a rough yank 'n butt scrub combo from the brunette put a stop to those efforts. “I thought it was because everyone sees you and goes, 'Oh, here's the chick with the glandular probRRRGGGHHHHHHH!”
The Celestial Stunner shifted back even more, now the full weight of her rump was resting firmly on the back of Jenny's head! “The hell they do!” she snarled. “They say, 'here comes the greatest lightweight of her generation and the woman who humiliated Jenny Jacobs into retiremWHOAH!”
Nasty as the Crab was, Estrina's current position meant there wasn't a whole lot of body for the blonde to get clear of, and the brunette's own natural sweatiness ensured the NorCal Sensation a short (albeit incredibly unpleasant) slide under Starfire to wind up flat on her back with her legs still in the other woman's possession. Smiling in spite of the lingering pain of the hold, Jacobs winked at Estrina and offered her a pair of J's--
“STOP DOING THAT!” Estrina bellowed with rage, stretched her foe's stems wide and raised her right foot high just to stamp down on the blonde's tum—NO! Jenny caught Starfire's boot in both hands and twisted hard enough to send the former Lightweight Champion sprawling to the deck with an awkward thud. Spinning to one knee as soon as Starfire landed, Jacobs caught hold of the brunette's left ankle and lifted her lower leg off the mat. In the blink of an eye the Girl of 8,675,309 Holds snaked her right leg around the exposed limb and lunged forward to stretch out on Estrina's back while simultaneously scissoring that trapped limb at a remarkably unpleasant angle. To make matters worse, Jacobs knotted her hands in an S-grip beneath the other wrestler's chin and craaaaaaaaaaaaaanked back to put incredible strain on her foe's neck!
STF:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y4_c2jcELI
“How's this for full effort?” Jenny used the STF to yank Estrina's head back and forth several times. “You wanna tap out? Admit I'm the better wrestler in front of every--”
“NO!” Starfire shouted. “I won't tap out and you're not better than me!” To prove it she grabbed hold of Jenny's wrists and pulled down hard enough that the blonde felt her hands starting to slip fr-- Jacobs let loose, grabbed a double handful of Estrina's hair and pulled her head back that much farther! “HAIR!” Estrina complained. “Ref, she's pulling my harrrggghhhhh!”
Jacobs went right back to the legal S-grip, only now she scraped her knuckles against the brunette's mouth and nose! “You need to be more than slippery to be great, honey.” she huffed. “You're not just going to drip your way to another title. You want to prove you're as great as you claim to be? Get out of this hold without sweating all over me!”
Estrina shook her head in defiance even though it hurt like hell to do so. “Scru... screw you! I don't have to impress NNNNNGGHHHHHHH!”
Jenny switched grips, trapping Estrina's chin in the crook of her elbow so she could squeeze an awful flush into the brunette's features. “Yeah you do, cutie.” Jacobs explained. “You open your mouth to make a challenge, you better be ready to back it up when someone answers. So are you gonna back it up? Or tap the hell out?”
Starfire didn't respond with words, rather she smashed her hands to the mat and uttered a low growl as she began to draaaaaaaaaaaaag their combined weight across the canvas. Jenny made no attempt to stop the former Lightweight Champion's progress, though she certainly didn't ease the journey in any way. Indeed Starfire's complexion had gone an ugly red before she finally stretched out a hand and grabbed hold of the bottom rope. “Break!” she demanded at once. Jacobs let loose, swatted the brunette's shoulders, then got up and retreated to the middle of the ring amidst applause from the crowd.
As for Estrina, she took several deep breaths and rubbed the kinks out of her neck while keeping a close eye on the blonde. After several more seconds she asked, “You think you're going to embarrass me?”
Jenny arched an eyebrow and raised her hands in a grappler's crouch. “I'm going to teach you a lesson, sweetie. How embarrassing you find it is entirely up to you.” With that she extended a foot out in front and swept it across the canvas before her, daring Estrina to come forward.
Estrina propelled herself back up to her feet, a determined smile crossing her face at the formidable challenge posed by the former World Champion. "Don't be too sure, Jenny," she taunted, relishing the competitive spirit that fueled their clash. Pushing a strand of sweat-matted hair back from her face, Starfire leaned against the ropes, catching her breath for a moment.
Regaining her composure, Estrina confidently stepped toward the center of the ring, assuming a grappler's stance. She circled her opponent, her eyes locked onto Jenny's, as the anticipation between them reached a fever pitch. Engaging in a Collar and Elbow Lock-Up, they both fought for control, their bodies straining against each other in a display of raw strength and determination.
"Don't underestimate me, Old Hag!" Estrina shouted defiantly, the fire in her voice matching the intensity in her eyes. In a sudden burst of power, she exerted all her might, shoving Jenny forcefully into the corner. The impact sent shock waves of surprise through the veteran's body, momentarily stunning her.
Jenny stood in the corner, her eyes wide with disbelief at Estrina's unexpected display of strength. The Innovator quickly re-calibrated her strategy, realizing that she couldn't afford to underestimate her opponent.
As the animosity between Jenny and Estrina escalated, Castle, sensing the need to intervene, began a count to break the intense lock-up. The crowd's anticipation grew as the referee's voice echoed throughout the arena, "ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...”
Acknowledging the authority of the Senior Official, Starfire reluctantly relinquished the lock-up, raising her arms in the air as a gesture of compliance. A mischievous smile played across her face as she saw an opportunity to further unnerve her opponent. In a provocative move, Estrina ran her fingertips under her own arm, collecting the sweat that had accumulated.
"Is that all you've got, Jenny? It seems the former World Champion has lost her edge! Maybe the years have finally caught up with you!." Estrina taunted as she retreated to the center of the ring.
Undeterred by Estrina's taunting words, Jenny maintained her composure and wiped the streak of perspiration off her face with a calm smile. Her eyes locked onto her opponent's, radiating a quiet confidence that spoke volumes. Jenny charged towards Estrina, showcasing a resilience that refused to be shaken by mind games or taunts.
Jacobs seized the moment to strike back. In a swift and fluid motion, she delivered a resounding Forearm Strike, connecting squarely with Estrina's cheek. The impact sent the Celestial Stunner stumbling backward, momentarily caught off guard by the force behind Jenny's blow. Regaining her footing, Estrina quickly composed herself, fueled by a surge of adrenaline. Determination blazed in her eyes as she answered with a forearm strike of her own, matching Jenny's intensity. The two wrestlers stood locked in a fierce exchange of forearms, each blow delivered with precision and vigor.
As the speed and ferocity of their exchange increased, beads of sweat began to form on both Jenny's and Estrina's brows, glistening under the bright arena lights. The physical exertion and adrenaline coursing through their bodies heightened their perspiration, making their skin slick with moisture. With each forearm strike, the impact caused tiny droplets of sweat to scatter into the air, sparkling like diamonds for a split second before dissipating into the atmosphere.
Eventually Jenny's relentless assault began to take its toll on Estrina. The successive blows landed true over and over again, causing the Celestial Stunner to waver and her movements to become momentarily disjointed. Sensing an opening, Jenny capitalized on the dazed state of her opponent by running the ropes and returning with a powerful Dropkick. However, the resilient Starfire quickly regained her composure, turning the tables on Jenny with lightning speed! With impeccable timing, she intercepted the former World Champion's airborne assault, countering with a thunderous Clothesline that sent Jenny spiraling through the air. The impact of the blow was jarring, flipping Jenny in a graceful yet forceful arc before she crashed against the canvas.
The Celestial Stunner let out a rallying war cry and swiftly rebounded the ropes, executing a elegant back-flip as she approached The Innovator and splashed across her body with a running Shooting Star Press!
RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS:

Jenny shuddered as Starfire splashed across her body. Estrina hooked the back of Jacobs' leg for the...
ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Despite Jenny's valiant effort to kick out, she found herself in a disoriented state as she rose to her feet. The impact of Estrina's running SSP had taken its toll, leaving her momentarily dazed and struggling to regain her bearings.
"I'm just starting to sweat!" Estrina remarked as she hit the ropes and caught Jenny's head as she returned to hit her with a Swinging Neckbreaker! The impact of the maneuver reverberated through the ring as Jenny's neck and upper back slammed forcefully against the canvas. The crowd gasped in response, witnessing the calculated strategy of Estrina as she targeted Jenny's vulnerable neck, aiming to weaken her in preparation for the Event Horizon or The Pits of Starfire.
RUNNING SWINGING NECKBREAKER:

Clutching her neck, Jenny winced in pain as she pushed herself upright. The strain from the swinging Neckbreaker was evident on her face, showcasing the toll it had taken on her. She knew that her opponent would seize any opportunity to exploit her weakened state, but Jacobs was not one to be easily defeated. As Starfire closed in, Jenny readied herself for whatever was to come. She caught Starfire by surprise, swiftly wrapping her arm around the Celestial Stunner's nape. With a powerful surge of energy, Jenny executed a lightning-fast Sambo Suplex, hoisting her sweat-drenched opponent off her feet and forcefully slamming her into the canvas.
SAMBO SUPLEX
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ykszPbe9pA
Both wrestlers laid side-by-side, chest heaving with exhaustion!
Cognizant of the hard-hitting nature of the match thus far, the Castle positioned himself close to the fallen wrestlers and waited a few seconds to see if either would begin to rise of her own volition. When they did not, he took a step back and lifted a finger to the rafters as he called out, “ONE!” This was quickly followed by two, three, and four, but it wasn't until “FIVE!” that blonde and brunette rolled in opposite directions to come up on their hands and knees. T'was a good start for sure, just not good enough to halt the zebra's tally, which had reached “EIGHT!” by the time both wrestlers were back on their fee—Estrina pumped a Toe Kick into Jenny's tummy, then caught her in a Front Facelock and slung the Innovator's left arm across her shouldNO!
Jacobs slipped loose of the Facelock and seized hold of Starfire's left wrist in the process. A quick go-behind folded Estrina's left arm up between her shoulders in a Hammerlock that the blonde maintained by holding onto that wrist with her left hand even after she'd dipped beneath the brunette's right arm. Longtime Jacobites in attendance for Summer Swelter let out a loud roar when the NorCal Sensation reared back and lashed out with her right arm to THAWHACK Starfire across the sternum with a 'Captivating' Lariat!
CAPTIVATING LARIAT:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iay0bXZC7hQ
The strike knocked Estrina flat and left her in perfect position to be covered, but Jenny bypassed the opportunity in favor of twining her fingers in the brunette's hair so she could haul her off the mat. Switching over to a Wristlock before the official could complain about her tactics, the blonde pointed Estrina toward a corner on the far side of the ring and hurled her toward it with an Irish Whip. Starfire made the trip in record time, not that this was necessarily a good thing as it ensured she was still going full bore when she swung around and BWUUUNGED spine-first against the top turnbuckle!
Everything was still shivering from that impact when the former World Champion flew in and drilled a huge Elbow Smash into the Celestial Stunner's jaw! Jacobs bounced clear on impact and so did Starfire, or rather, she wobbled clear of the turnbuckles following the ropes to come to a woozy stop about halfway to the next post. Jenny noted this, jogged to the opposite set of strands and bounced out of 'em to ensure she had a whole lotta extra momentum when she sprinted back across the canvas to land her second Elbow Smash in less than ten seconds!
The rubber-coated steel kept Estrina on her feet, but she was looking pretty ragged when the blonde cleared out and made yet another trip across the canvas. Only vaguely aware of the peril headed in her direction, Starfire stumbled toward the middle of the ring and—THWHACK! Jenny damned near took her head off with a Lariat that dropped the Californian to hip and shoulder while Estrina landed on the back of her head and shoulders like someone who'd just absorbed a particularly stiff Powerbomb! Starfire slopped to her back as the FAWNatics groaned in sympathy, though their support shifted focus once Jenny crawled over and draped herself across the brunette's chest for a count of...
ELBOW SMASHES & A LARIAT:

ONE...
TWO...
THRNOOOO!
Starfire lifted a shoulder off the mat to earn at least another three seconds in the match! Jacobs leaned back on her haunches, mopped a forearm across her brow and showed three fingers to Nick, who responded with only two.
Nodding in mild irritation at the expected answer, the Girl of 8,675,309 Holds helped herself to Estrina's boots, then got to her feet with those limbs spread wide. This earned a cheer from the crowd that faded when JJ didn't stomp the showboat's briefs, then got louder again once she turned around so her back was to the flattened former Lightweight Champion. Trapping Estrina's ankles in the triangles created by her forearms, biceps and torso, Jacobs locked her hands, then dipped her knees and maneuvered in such a fashion that Starfire was slowly but surely flipped onto her stomach. This shift allowed Jenny to step over the other wrestler's prone frame and the instant she did she dropped into a deep crouch, the Innovator using every bit of her hundred and thirty pounds to craaaaaaaaaaaank the brunette's spine into an awful curve courtesy the Whately Reef Crab!

“ARRRRRRRRHHHHHH!” Estrina wailed to the heavens as Jenny tried to break her in half, a situation made only more difficult by the FAWNatics that started to chant, 'TAP! TAP! TAP!'
Smiling as the chant grew in strength, Jacobs bobbed in time with it for several seconds before she said, “Know what your problem is, baby? You've always gotta run that mouth. You've always gotta TELL everyone how great you are. Me? I'd rather let my offense... and your sobbing, SHOW them how good I am.”
“YOU'RE NOT ON MY LEVEL!” Estrina shrieked as she pushed up on her palms, an adjustment that did nothing for the pain in her back. “YOU NEVER HAVE BEEN, NOT EVEN ON YOUR BEST DAAAAAAYYYYYYIIIIIEEEE!”
Jacobs sank into a deep squat that put even more strain on the brunette's vertebrae. “You're right, I'm not on your level.” Jacobs countered. “The big gold belts in my trophy room confirm I'm several stories ABOVE your level. You wanna come up and see the view from here? Try winning. Better yet, just stop whining.”
“SCREW YOU!” Estrina made it a few feet closer to the ropes, only to moan in frustration when the blonde dragged her back to the middle. “I'M BETTER THAN YOU'VE EVERNNNGHHH!”
Jenny went up on tiptoes, then dropped down full force to THWHUMP the small of Estrina's back with a nasty Butt Bomb! Dragging Starfire up by her shoulder-straps while the brunette was still writhing, Jacobs snatched a Wristlock and slung her into the ropes as hard as she could. The Innovator charged in the other direction, Jenny presumably looking for a little more momentum before she met Estrina in the middle for—NO! Starfire dipped a Lariat attempt and continued onto the far side while Jenny did the same. Their second pass proved quite different when Estrina took to the skies and leaned all the way back, the Celestial Stunner THWHUNKING her left knee into the veteran's face with vicious force!
STARSTRUCK:

Starstruck into the middle of next week, Jacobs hit the deck in a heap while Estrina landed flat on her aching spine! Starfire cried out and pressed both hands to the small of her back, but a couple seconds was all she needed to scramble to her haunches and-- Jenny rolled clear of the pin attempt, the dazed battler oozing under the bottom rope to the floor half a heartbeat before Estrina could grab hold and reel her back in!
In a burst of frustration, Starfire slapped the canvas beneath her. She couldn't contain her disappointment at the turn of events, but she knew better than to waste precious time dwelling on it. The fiery Estrina stepped onto the ring apron and backed herself into the corner, gesturing for The Innovator to get up before running along the edge of the ring and crushing Jenny beneath her with a Diving Meteora!
APRON METEORA:

The Celestial Stunner collected the fallen Jacobs from the ringside and grabbed a handful of waistband and her hair. With a forceful spin, Starfire twirled her opponent around, disorienting her further before shoving her under the bottom rope and back into the ring. Starfire dove under the bottom rope and barreled Jenny to the center where she hooked her leg for the...
ONE!
TWO!
THRNOO!!!
Even though Estrina was visibly frustrated by the escape, she composed herself with a deep breath and raked back the sweat-matted hair that clung to her forehead. As Starfire rose to her feet, her eyes widened with surprise to see Jenny already beginning to stir. Determined to maintain her advantage, she delivered a series of stomps to Jenny's back, keeping her opponent down. With Jenny weakened beneath her, Estrina reached down, grabbing a handful of her opponent's attire. In a single fluid motion she effortlessly hoisted Jenny up, showcasing her strength and executed a Fisherman Suplex, seamlessly bridging her body for the pinning combination.

ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOOOOOOO!!!
"DAMN IT!" The Sweaty Sensation shouted in frustration and disgust she slammed the hand onto the canvas with a resounding THUD! The Asian took a brief moment to catch her breath before catching the weakened Jenny by the wrist and pulled her to a kneeling position. The intensity in her eyes remained unwavering as she focused on her weakened opponent. Seizing Jacobs by the wrists, Starfire got to her feet and yanked the blonde's arms behind her in an painful 'V'. The crowd held their breath, sensing the impending climax of the match as the Celestial Stunner prepared to deliver her finishing move, the dreaded 'Event Horizon.'
The Celestial Stunner reeled her leg back and dro--NO!!! With a sudden burst of energy, The Innovator forcefully threw Estrina forward, disrupting her momentum and causing her to crash to the canvas, landing on her back. Wasting no time, Jenny capitalized on her advantage. and dead-lifted the surprised Starfire, hoisting her high into the air. With a thunderous impact, Jenny executed a high-angled Back Suplex, forcefully slamming Estrina back-first onto the canvas. And as if one Back Suplex wasn't enough, Jenny picked Estrina up and delivered two more devastating Snap Back Suplexes for good measure!

The Innovator scurried toward the splayed Starfire and pressed onto her chest for the...
ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOOOOOOO!!!!
Starfire kicked out of what could have been a three count if Jenny had hooked her leg! Seizing the opportunity, she took hold of Estrina, pulling her towards her and locking her into a Standing Headscissors. With a display of her own strength, Jenny wrapped her arms tightly around Estrina's waist and hauled Starfire onto her shoulders. But Estrina, refusing to succumb, pushed herself off Jenny's perch and managed to land gracefully on her feet to evade the Powerbomb attempt. Taking advantage of the momentary opening, Estrina swiftly struck back, launching a kick to Jenny's midsection, doubling her over in pain. With Jenny gaping and vulnerable, she hooked her opponent's head, driving it forcefully into the canvas with a thunderous DDT!
DDT

Jacobs somersaulted through the landing to finish on her back in a loose-limbed starfish while Estrina tumbled alongside the blonde to bounce back to her feet while the ring was still shivering. “SHE'S DONE!” Starfire bellowed at the top of her lungs as she made a point of stepping on Jenny's tummy as she tromped over to the nearest corner and grabbed the top rope in both hands. Raucous roars from the capacity crowd when Starfire hopped up and twisted around in midair to land atop the high rent district facing her flattened adversary. Left hand thrown high overhead, the former Lightweight Champion made a show of tracing her fingers up that armpit so she could 'flick' a mist of sweat at the vulnerable blonde. Jenny offered no reply herself, so the Jacobites provided plenty of boos, not that the Celestial Stunner seemed to mind. Indeed Estrina was all smiles when she leapt off and twisted around in midair, the brunette leading with her feet in a gorgeous back-flip brought every bit of her weight down on the Innovator's che—NO!
Jenny rolled toward the corner, leaving that stretch of canvas as a most unwelcome crash-pad for the Princess of Perspir—NOT TONIGHT!
Starfire saw the escape and adjusted accordingly, the nimble battler landing on her feet just to drop into a backward somersault that returned her to verticality much closer to the opposite side of the squared circle. As for Jacobs, she clambered to boot-leather, locked eyes with Estrina and beckoned her forward with a pair of upraised J's. “How're you gonna beat me from way over there, honey?”
Pretty features strained by frustration, Starfire swiped both pits but instead of flicking her fingers at the blonde she rushed forward at top speed! Jenny noted this aggressive approach and exploded out to meet her, blonde and brunette meeting at center ring where the latter lashed out with a Lariat meant to turn the former inside ou—Jenny dipped beneath Estrina's right arm while simultaneously hooking her own right arm across Starfire's chest so she could press that hand between her shoulders. In the same breath Jacobs dipped down low and popped her hips, the NorCal Sensation flipping over backward to land on her tummy while Estrina was THAWHAMMED to the deck courtesy the Jenny-Cide!
JENNY-CIDE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VjrO-DoNrc
Twisting to a seat the instant the maneuver connected, Jacobs stretched out back-first across Starfire's chest and captured both legs in a bundle that pointed Estrina's buns to the lights for a count of...
ONE...
TWO...
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Castle bounded to his feet throwing a desperate sort of 'don't ring it!' signal to the Timekeeper to ensure the match kept going, such was the narrowness of Starfire's escape! Jenny saw him do this, the man's actions didn't really register in her brain until she held up three fingers and he shook his head emphatically 'no'. “It was only two, Jenny!” he told her over the incredulous cacophony. “Match is still live!”
Expression changing from stunned to stern after she swiped a hand through her hair, Jacobs abruptly rolled Starfire onto her stomach and sidled down so she could take possession of her opponent's ankles. “Let's see you slip your way out of this one, baby.”
Possessing an ankle in each hand, the Girl of 8,675,309 Holds forced Estrina's right shin into the pit of her left knee, then folded that leg back to secure a Figure Four. Twisting around to brace her right knee against the small of Starfire's back, Jenny kept hold of those tangled boots and pulled Estrina's knotted legs off the mat so she could tuck them beneath her right arm. In the same instant she slipped her right hand through the negative space created by Estrina's stems and clasped her hands atop Starfire's left knee-pad to make sure she couldn't just squirm free of Jacobs' Ladder!
JACOBS' LADDER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvNEx-_gBmk
“Hrrrgghhh....AAAAAAARRRRRHHHHH!” Starfire wailed to wake the dead as the agonizing stretch curved her spine into a tipped over 'J'.
“Give up!” Jenny ordered as she leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaned back on the agonizing hold. “Give up or I'll make sure your toes touch the back of your head!”
“Nuuuuhhhhh... NO!” Starfire braced her palms against the mat and started to push off only to shriek even louder when Jacobs ground the point of her encroaching knee into the Celestial Stunner's back. Estrina wailed even louder and Jenny bounced along to the 'TAP!' chants that had grown louder as Starfire went from 'J' to 'C' and ever closer to 'O'.
“What do you say, Estrina?” the ref sounded concerned and rightfully so, the distance between the toe of Starfire's boots and the back of her skull was rapidly dwindling. “Do you give up? Just say the word and--”
“NO!” Estrina flailed wildly, shooing the zebra away before she planted her palms on the canvas and started to puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush up as high as she could. “SHE CAN'T MAKE ME SUBMIT! I'M THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WOROOOOOHHHHHH GAAAAAAAAHHHHH!”
Jenny shifted her right knee to the nape of Starfire's neck and pulled that much harder! Now the trapped brunette was almost straight up and down and the 'TAP!' chants had given way to groans of sympathetic anguish as the Celestial Stunner was bent in ways the human body was never meant to--
“GIVE!” Estrina had been pulling her own hair, now she let loose and swatted the mat with both hands. “I GIVE! I GIVE! I GI--”
“YOU SUBMIT!” Jenny barked over the CLANG of the bell.
“I SUBMIT!” Estrina sobbed. “Now lemme go!”
The Innovator did, though not until a heartbeat after the Announcer called, “Ladies and gentlemen, your winner via submission... JENNY JACOBS!”
Jenny tossed the brunette's legs aside and stood tall, the former World Champion basking in the adulation of the capacity crowd.
The same could not be said of Estrina, who only writhed and moaned in the victrix's shadow. She'd been so goddamned close, but in the end she'd made the last mistake and it'd cost her dearly. The demoralized beauty was about to roll under the bottom rope when Jacobs dropped down beside her on one knee. “Did good tonight, sweaty.” JJ patted her brunette on the butt. “Not everyone can claim to have kicked out of the Jenny-Cide in the middle of the ring. “But you're never going to be the best if you waste so much energy telling everyone how good you are. If you were REALLY that good, you wouldn't have to tell 'em. They'd tell you.”
Jacobs patted Estrina's hip again, then stood up and set a boot atop Starfire's buns while she raised the J's one more time. They were still hoisted high when the feed cut to a promo for tonight's World Title bout.

The opening riff of the music played to the rhythm of the flickering lights as The Celestial Stunner stepped into the arena, welcomed by a chorus of boos. Despite not being scheduled for a match tonight, The Singaporean walked towards the ring, clad in a skimpy navy blue one-piece with a V-neck that plunged all the way down to her navel, completed with yellow knee pads and white boots. With a towel hanging over her neck, Estrina ascended the ring steps and carefully stepped through the ropes and made a beeline toward the Announcer's side of the ring, requesting a mic.
ESTRINA STARFIRE:
THUD! THUD!
Estrina tested the mic with a few taps before bringing it to her lips.
"Well, well, well, look who's gathered here to witness greatness! It seems that all of you are blessed with the opportunity to witness the grandeur that is me!"
"Yes, my recent string of losses may have tarnished my record. BUT let's be clear: It is not because I am weak! NO! In fact, those were mere flukes! "
"I stand here, and demand a match from anyone who thinks they can add another 'L' to my records and prove ALL OF YOU WRONG!" Estrina punctuated her statement with a sweep of her finger around the ring.
Starfire dropped the mic (much to the Announcer's chagrin) then turned her attention to the stage and stretched her arms wide, daring anyone in the locker room to show themselves. Several seconds went by with no response Estrina sighed in disgust, made a show of tapping her foot and glancing at an invisible watch only to look up when the crowd cheered the unexpected arrival of.... Senior Official Nick Castle?
Hurrying down the aisle amidst a flurry of disappointed grumbling from those present, Castle called out, “What're you doing, Estrina? The card's loaded tonight, you can't just barge out here and demand a match!”
“The hell I can't!” Estrina countered. “I talked to Bethany this afternoon and she told me she was certain some loser would be desperate enough to accept my challenge, even if it means getting her ass kicked in front of the world!”
Already at the foot of the ramp, Nick strode to the steel steps and made his way up to the apron. “Don't lie to me, Estrina! I just spoke with Bethany and she told me to get out here so you'd stop holding up the sh--”
INVINCIBLE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdEPbPQH15o
Nick looked startled and Estrina looked confused but the FAWNatics didn't notice, they were too busy cheering their guts out when the Announcer called out, “Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Estrina's opponent! Hailing from Antonio Bay, California, she stands at five feet four inches tall and weighs in tonight at one hundred and thirty-three pounds. She is a former Intercontinental Champion, a former World Champion and last but certainly not least, the Girl of 8,675, 309 Holds! This is JENNY JACOBS!”
“She told me we didn't have any extra time on the card.” Castle grumbled under his breath.
“She told me it was gonna be Winter Fyre!” Estrina hissed through clenched teeth.
JENNY JACOBS:
The curtain parted again and this time it was the Innovator with J's already raised high overhead. Though she'd failed to thwart Victoria Hackenschmidt from surpassing her formerly record setting IC title reign during her last appearance a few months back, that defeat didn't stop the crowd from welcoming the veteran at full volume. Acknowledging the response with a grin and a holstering of those dangerous finger guns, Jacobs turned her attention to the Celestial Stunner and started her way toward the ring. For tonight's match against the former Lightweight Champion she wore the indigo version of her ‘starstruck’ briefs as well as a matching halter-style top with the cups held together by a small metal buckle in the shape of a star. Her boots and pads were a deep, glossy black while her hair was swept back in a bob that just tickled her shoulders. Reaching the shadow of the squared circle, she took the time to make a circuit around the ring to greet all the front row FAWNatics heading up the steel steps.
Careful to wipe the soles of her boots on the apron, she took the top rope in both hands and vaulted into the squared circle with a crisp little 'thump!' Giving the fuming brunette a wide berth for the moment, she turned to the hard camera and offered everyone another pair of upraised J's. Both of them went into the holsters this time, thus ensuring she'd be ready for any potential sweaty sneak attack Estrina might launch during Nick's final inspection.
Estrina, clearly quite perturbed over having her thunder stolen by the Girl of 8,675,309 Holds, rushed from the corner as soon as the bell sounded to claim the center of the squared circle well before her blonde adversary. “Who do you think you are, huh?” she snapped at the approaching veteran. “Just because you got your sorry ass kicked by Hackenschmidt doesn't mean you can strut out here to try and ruin MY moment.” Starfire smirked, looked Jacobs up and down. “Not like you're going to succeed. Victoria might be a giant weirdo, but she also proved you're not good enough to hang with elite level taleNNGGGHH!”
Jenny sprang up and drew her knees in close just to piston her legs straight forward, the former World Champion THWHAPPING Estrina's chest with a gorgeous Dropkick that saw Jacobs push off in a Moonsault-like flip that brought her down on her stomach while Starfire crashed to the deck!
DROPKICK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2uqzP7KRBc
The shot hit hard but Estrina was on her knees in an instant and--'oooooooooooooohhhh!' from the crowd when Jenny stepped to the kneeling battler and held a pair of J's inches from her nose! Starfire swatted them away, popped to her feet and lashed out with a Clothesline that Jacobs ducked at the last possible instant. Starfire ground to a halt, pivoted around on her back foot and hopped forward to unleash a Super Kick aimed at the point of the veteran's chi—NO!
Jenny caught hold of the brunette's ankle and took a step back to keep the limb stretched out full length. In the next instant she dropped into a crouch, then shot up on tiptoe and flung Starfire's foot high into the sky! Most wrestlers would've landed awkwardly on their head and shoulders if subjected to such treatment, but the Celestial Stunner pushed off with her remaining foot to provide enough momentum to transform the potentially rough landing into a gorgeous flip that saw her stick the landing with both arms raised in a jaunty 'V'!
“That all you got, old timer?” Starfire taunted over the noise of the crowd. “You're gonna have to do better than that to hang with--” A thunderous cheer from the Jacobites when their leader stepped in and once again held the J's directly in front of Estrina's nose! “How dare you!” Starfire slapped Jenny's hands down, then rocked her back on her heels with a heavy shove! “You put your damned hands in my face again and I'll--”
CRACK!
Estrina's head snapped to the side when Jenny lit up one side of her face with a huge Bitch Slap! “What're you gonna do, cutie?” Jacobs taunted as the brunette rubbed at the welt on her cheek. “What's an elite competitor like you have in mind? Ya gonna drip on--”
Estrina rocked her with another hard shove, then ran her fingertips up her torso so she could flick a mist of sweat into the blonde fa—NOT TONIGHT!
Jenny put a stop to that rudeness with a single hard Knife-Edge Chop across her opponent's tits! Starfire grimaced and stamped her feet, both hands flying to freshly raised wel—Jacobs grabbed hold of her left wrist in both hands and treated the former Lightweight Champion to an Arm Ringer that doubled Estrina over. In the same instant Jenny sidled in on the brunette's left flank and deftly threaded her right leg around Starfire's left thigh. “NO!” Estrina shouted in concern. “What do you think you're doing, this is MY movVEERRRGGHHH!”
Jacobs brought her left leg up and over, the NorCal Sensation pressing the back of that thigh down across the nape of Estrina's neck to apply a great deal of strain! “What, this is your move?” Jacobs jostled her constraining thigh, as she reached her left arm across Starfire's back to hook her right bicep and craaaaaaaaaaaaank that arm back at an unpleasant angle. “If it's your move, why're you showing off my J's?”
OCTOPUS:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNWdFdvyMoY
Estrina was doing nothing of the sort of course, at least not until Jacobs grabbed hold of her opponent's vulnerable right hand smooshed her middle, ring, and pinkie fingers down into a loose fist. The result was more 'L' than 'J', but it didn't stop the FAWNatics from breaking into a rousing chant of 'JEN-NY! JEN-NY!' as the blonde kept Starfire on display.
Forced to brace her free hand against the mat to alleviate the worst of the pressure, Estrina growled, “Eeeerrrhhhh... get off of me! I'm not about to submit to yoOW! OW! OW!”
Jenny let loose of Starfire's hand so she could deliver several undefended slaps to the smaller wrestler's squirming glutes! “Oh, I think you will submit.” Jacobs teased the squirming battler. “And even if you don't, I'll still scratch my name on your cheeks!”
“No you won't!” Estrina pushed up and managed to waddle a few steps closer to the ropes. “You're not gonna do anything but lick my Pitssssseeerrrrggghhhhhhh!”
“The Innovator curled her index finger into a hook and slowly draaaaaaaaaaaggged it along Estrina's right butt cheek in an angry red 'J'! “Aren't you supposed to be really slippery?” Jacobs resumed swatting her foe's glutes, much to the delight of the Summer Swelter crowd.
Even though it was early in the match, Nick Castle knew the Octopus was nothing to trifle with, especially when the hold was cinched so tight. Kneeling beside the action, he asked, “What do you say, Estrina? Need me to call for the--”
“NO!” Starfire snapped at once. “I'm not going to quit to this washout!”
Jacobs frowned, responded to the insult with a sharp pinch to the Asian Sensation's wriggling buns. “Better watch your mouth, sweat-stain.” she warned. “Otherwise I'll tie you in knots so tight they'll have to--”
Estrina shifted abruptly, lowering her head and drawing back to escape the crushing weight of the blonde's leg. This new freedom allowed the brunette to slip the arm control and drop to her back where she immediately twisted around and--“OOOFFFHH!” Starfire got caught in her own escape hatch when the Innovator planted a foot on either side of her hips and dropped a heavy butt bomb into the pit of her stomach! Spinning around to secure a more traditional mount, Jacobs grabbed a handful of Estrina's hair and yanked her head off the mat so she could tuck it beneath her left armpit. From there the blonde reached behind her own back and clasped her hands in a S-grip that made it all the more difficult for Starfire to wriggle free when Jenny wrenched back on what was essentially a Guillotine Choke.
Growling as she was subjected to the painful predicament, Starfire balled her right hand into a fist and pounded several punches into Jacobs' left hip before she grabbed hold of the veteran's waistband and gave it a sharp yank! The wedgie earned a grimace from JJ, but she didn't relent so Starfire used the grip to pivot the blonde to one side which in turn allowed the Celestial Stunner to spin onto her knees so the Guillotine was now little more than a Front Facelock. Confident she was on her way out, Estrina gave Jenny another rude wedgie and followed up with some spanking of her own. “You're not good enough to compete with me, loser!” she explained to the brawny blonde. “Better hold on while you still can because sooner or later you'll be nothing but my towEEERRRGGHHHHH!” Breaking the S-grip without relinquishing her control over the brunette's head, Jacobs straightened up and twisted around behind Estrina. Doing so twisted the Front Facelock into one of the Inverted variety and things grew all the more dire when the blonde dropped to a seat and slapped a Scissors around her opponent's waist!
NO ESCAPING THE INNOVATOR:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJeRog3IIEA
“This is your move too, right?” Jenny taunted as she bore down on the Scissors and craaaaaaaaaanked back on the Facelock while Estrina wailed into her armpit! “Can't say I ever gave much thought to submitting a brat with my armpit before, but all that crying tells me I should reconsider! Hey, is my deodorant doing a good job? It's supposed to moisturize, I'd hate to have it grinding against your mouth and nose.” The smirk on Jenny's face suggested such a thing wouldn't bother her in the slightest, especially when she squeezed the Bodyscissors even harder to earn louder groans from her struggling captive.
“BIDGE!” Starfire squealed in muffled disgust as she tried to prize Jenny's arm clear of her face. “YHUR GHONNA PAY FOR EEERRRRGGGGHHHH!”
Jacobs curled her free hand into a claw and plunged it into the brunette's belly, the veteran making a point to gouge her index finger into the other wrestler's navel! “For what, baby?” Jenny teased. “Answering your challenge? Shutting your big mouth? Or maybe you're just mad I'm embarrassing you the same way you've embarrassed so many othRRGGHH OW DAMMIT!”
Estrina couldn't quite get free, but she wriggled enough to get her mouth against Jenny's bicep and she bit down until the former World Champion was forced to abandon her hooks! Barrel rolling clear of the blonde's grasp as soon as she was free, Starfire slid under the bottom rope and backpedaled across the narrow aisle to rest against the guardrail.
As for Jenny, she pushed to one knee and gingerly rubbed at the bright red crescent marring the underside of her arm. On her feet shortly thereafter, the NorCal Sensation walked over to the edge and mounted the bottom rope to invite her foe back into the ring. “That all you've got, baby? If you wanted to bite your way out you should've challenged me to a catfight.”
Estrina scowled and continued to massage the nape of her aching neck. “I can beat you in whatever kind of match I want!” she countered. “Now get your old ass back so I can return to the ring!”
Jenny actually climbed onto the second rope and Estrina scrambled to one side to avoid any possible high risk offense. The blonde just scoffed and flipped off her perch to land in the middle of the ring where she immediately raised the J's to a raucous cheer from the capacity crowd.
"What a bitch..." Estrina muttered under her breath before rejoining Jenny in the squared circle. Tension rose as The Celestial Stunner met The Innovator at the center of the ring and lowered herself into a grappling stance, drawing Jenny in for a Test of Strength.
"So that's what you want h-ARGHH!" Just as Jenny was ready to engage, Estrina surprised the blonde with a kick to the midsection! Starfire followed up with a couple of dazing blows to the face, sending Jacobs into the ropes before whipping her across the ring. The veteran shook off the dizzying blows and stomped her foot firmly against the canvas on the first step before counter-whipping the Singaporean into the ropes instead.
"Cheap tactics ain't gonna work on me, Starfire!" Jenny followed Estrina to the center of the ring as she sought to knock the returning brunette to the canvas with a Clothesline--But NO! The Celestial Stunner slipped under the attacking arm and followed through to the opposite ropes before knocking the Innovator down with a forearm on the return trip!
Jenny did not stay down for long, she scrambled to her feet but was quickly flattened again with two boots to the chest as soon as she stood up. Starfire swiftly peeled Jacobs from the canvas and trapped her in a Front Facelock. With a firm grasp on Jenny's waistband, The Flawless Immortal lifted Jenny into the air and sent her crashing back-first onto the canvas with a classic Vertical Suplex!
SUPLEX
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPxbjIs7wYM
Estrina floated over Jenny's body and pressed her shoulders to the mat for the...
ONE!
TWO!
The Innovator forcefully kicked out at 'TWO' and sat up but soon found herself trapped in the ensnaring arm of Starfire. The Celestial Stunner capitalized on the opening and secured Jenny in a vise-like grip, trapping her in a Sleeper Hold. The Celestial Stunner sought to wear down the blonde, hoping to drain her energy and reduce her chances of mounting a comeback. Jenny's air supply diminished as the pressure on her neck and throat increased. Refusing to succumb to the hold, Jacobs mustered her energy and pushed them both to their feet. Rotating her body bit by bit as the hold would allow, positioning her elbow towards Estrina's midsection and knocking her wind out. "URGH! URGH!" Starfire's hold loosened, allowing Jenny to slip loose but Estrina caught her by the hair and yanked the blonde to the mat!
"ARGHH!!" Jacobs grunted and clutched her head in pain after it collided with the deck. Starfire received a warning from the Senior Official about the illicit hair pulling but she was paying him no mind. Instead, she quickly followed up with a stomp into Jenny's ribs, forcing her to curl on one side.
"Don't you dare steal my move you old hag!" Starfire snarled and delivered a kick to the small of Jenny's exposed back. The Sweaty Sensation picked Jenny off the canvas and shoved her into the corner by a palm on her face. With a firm grip on Jenny's wrist, Estrina forcefully whipped her toward the opposite corner of the ring. The Innovator's back collided with the turnbuckle, eliciting a resounding THUD. Before Jenny could regain her bearings, Estrina seized the moment, charging forward with remarkable speed and agility. Leaping into the air with astonishing precision, Starfire propelled herself toward her vulnerable opponent. Her knees were aimed directly at Jenny's chest, poised to deliver a devastating blow.
Right before the collision, Jenny slipped out of the corner but Estrina reacted quickly as well, planting both feet on the second rope instead of colliding into the turnbuckle. Jenny tried to take advantage of the opening but Estrina executed a flawless back-flip then allowed her to land behind The Innovator. Jacobs charged The Sweaty Sensation but got taken to the ground with a drop toe hold and Starfire quickly secured both of Jenny's legs under her arms and trapped her in a painful Boston Crab!
BOSTON CRAB
www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVLnXmI0pIs
"I'm putting full effort this time! Tap out bitch!" Estrina yelled as she leaned farther back!
Jacobs only grunted and bared her teeth, the veteran holding on despite the increasingly painful angle of the Boston Crab. Far from pleased by this resolute silence, Starfire bounced her butt against the small of Jenny's back once, twice, three times, then began to slide back so the curve of her glutes came to rest atop the blonde's shoulders. “So you like J's, is that right?” Estrina taunted. “My favorite letter is O, because I love bending losers in circles!”
“Eeerrggghhh... is that the reason?” Jacobs braced her elbows against the mat and tried to crawl forward, but a rough yank 'n butt scrub combo from the brunette put a stop to those efforts. “I thought it was because everyone sees you and goes, 'Oh, here's the chick with the glandular probRRRGGGHHHHHHH!”
The Celestial Stunner shifted back even more, now the full weight of her rump was resting firmly on the back of Jenny's head! “The hell they do!” she snarled. “They say, 'here comes the greatest lightweight of her generation and the woman who humiliated Jenny Jacobs into retiremWHOAH!”
Nasty as the Crab was, Estrina's current position meant there wasn't a whole lot of body for the blonde to get clear of, and the brunette's own natural sweatiness ensured the NorCal Sensation a short (albeit incredibly unpleasant) slide under Starfire to wind up flat on her back with her legs still in the other woman's possession. Smiling in spite of the lingering pain of the hold, Jacobs winked at Estrina and offered her a pair of J's--
“STOP DOING THAT!” Estrina bellowed with rage, stretched her foe's stems wide and raised her right foot high just to stamp down on the blonde's tum—NO! Jenny caught Starfire's boot in both hands and twisted hard enough to send the former Lightweight Champion sprawling to the deck with an awkward thud. Spinning to one knee as soon as Starfire landed, Jacobs caught hold of the brunette's left ankle and lifted her lower leg off the mat. In the blink of an eye the Girl of 8,675,309 Holds snaked her right leg around the exposed limb and lunged forward to stretch out on Estrina's back while simultaneously scissoring that trapped limb at a remarkably unpleasant angle. To make matters worse, Jacobs knotted her hands in an S-grip beneath the other wrestler's chin and craaaaaaaaaaaaaanked back to put incredible strain on her foe's neck!
STF:

“How's this for full effort?” Jenny used the STF to yank Estrina's head back and forth several times. “You wanna tap out? Admit I'm the better wrestler in front of every--”
“NO!” Starfire shouted. “I won't tap out and you're not better than me!” To prove it she grabbed hold of Jenny's wrists and pulled down hard enough that the blonde felt her hands starting to slip fr-- Jacobs let loose, grabbed a double handful of Estrina's hair and pulled her head back that much farther! “HAIR!” Estrina complained. “Ref, she's pulling my harrrggghhhhh!”
Jacobs went right back to the legal S-grip, only now she scraped her knuckles against the brunette's mouth and nose! “You need to be more than slippery to be great, honey.” she huffed. “You're not just going to drip your way to another title. You want to prove you're as great as you claim to be? Get out of this hold without sweating all over me!”
Estrina shook her head in defiance even though it hurt like hell to do so. “Scru... screw you! I don't have to impress NNNNNGGHHHHHHH!”
Jenny switched grips, trapping Estrina's chin in the crook of her elbow so she could squeeze an awful flush into the brunette's features. “Yeah you do, cutie.” Jacobs explained. “You open your mouth to make a challenge, you better be ready to back it up when someone answers. So are you gonna back it up? Or tap the hell out?”
Starfire didn't respond with words, rather she smashed her hands to the mat and uttered a low growl as she began to draaaaaaaaaaaaag their combined weight across the canvas. Jenny made no attempt to stop the former Lightweight Champion's progress, though she certainly didn't ease the journey in any way. Indeed Starfire's complexion had gone an ugly red before she finally stretched out a hand and grabbed hold of the bottom rope. “Break!” she demanded at once. Jacobs let loose, swatted the brunette's shoulders, then got up and retreated to the middle of the ring amidst applause from the crowd.
As for Estrina, she took several deep breaths and rubbed the kinks out of her neck while keeping a close eye on the blonde. After several more seconds she asked, “You think you're going to embarrass me?”
Jenny arched an eyebrow and raised her hands in a grappler's crouch. “I'm going to teach you a lesson, sweetie. How embarrassing you find it is entirely up to you.” With that she extended a foot out in front and swept it across the canvas before her, daring Estrina to come forward.
Estrina propelled herself back up to her feet, a determined smile crossing her face at the formidable challenge posed by the former World Champion. "Don't be too sure, Jenny," she taunted, relishing the competitive spirit that fueled their clash. Pushing a strand of sweat-matted hair back from her face, Starfire leaned against the ropes, catching her breath for a moment.
Regaining her composure, Estrina confidently stepped toward the center of the ring, assuming a grappler's stance. She circled her opponent, her eyes locked onto Jenny's, as the anticipation between them reached a fever pitch. Engaging in a Collar and Elbow Lock-Up, they both fought for control, their bodies straining against each other in a display of raw strength and determination.
"Don't underestimate me, Old Hag!" Estrina shouted defiantly, the fire in her voice matching the intensity in her eyes. In a sudden burst of power, she exerted all her might, shoving Jenny forcefully into the corner. The impact sent shock waves of surprise through the veteran's body, momentarily stunning her.
Jenny stood in the corner, her eyes wide with disbelief at Estrina's unexpected display of strength. The Innovator quickly re-calibrated her strategy, realizing that she couldn't afford to underestimate her opponent.
As the animosity between Jenny and Estrina escalated, Castle, sensing the need to intervene, began a count to break the intense lock-up. The crowd's anticipation grew as the referee's voice echoed throughout the arena, "ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...”
Acknowledging the authority of the Senior Official, Starfire reluctantly relinquished the lock-up, raising her arms in the air as a gesture of compliance. A mischievous smile played across her face as she saw an opportunity to further unnerve her opponent. In a provocative move, Estrina ran her fingertips under her own arm, collecting the sweat that had accumulated.
"Is that all you've got, Jenny? It seems the former World Champion has lost her edge! Maybe the years have finally caught up with you!." Estrina taunted as she retreated to the center of the ring.
Undeterred by Estrina's taunting words, Jenny maintained her composure and wiped the streak of perspiration off her face with a calm smile. Her eyes locked onto her opponent's, radiating a quiet confidence that spoke volumes. Jenny charged towards Estrina, showcasing a resilience that refused to be shaken by mind games or taunts.
Jacobs seized the moment to strike back. In a swift and fluid motion, she delivered a resounding Forearm Strike, connecting squarely with Estrina's cheek. The impact sent the Celestial Stunner stumbling backward, momentarily caught off guard by the force behind Jenny's blow. Regaining her footing, Estrina quickly composed herself, fueled by a surge of adrenaline. Determination blazed in her eyes as she answered with a forearm strike of her own, matching Jenny's intensity. The two wrestlers stood locked in a fierce exchange of forearms, each blow delivered with precision and vigor.
As the speed and ferocity of their exchange increased, beads of sweat began to form on both Jenny's and Estrina's brows, glistening under the bright arena lights. The physical exertion and adrenaline coursing through their bodies heightened their perspiration, making their skin slick with moisture. With each forearm strike, the impact caused tiny droplets of sweat to scatter into the air, sparkling like diamonds for a split second before dissipating into the atmosphere.
Eventually Jenny's relentless assault began to take its toll on Estrina. The successive blows landed true over and over again, causing the Celestial Stunner to waver and her movements to become momentarily disjointed. Sensing an opening, Jenny capitalized on the dazed state of her opponent by running the ropes and returning with a powerful Dropkick. However, the resilient Starfire quickly regained her composure, turning the tables on Jenny with lightning speed! With impeccable timing, she intercepted the former World Champion's airborne assault, countering with a thunderous Clothesline that sent Jenny spiraling through the air. The impact of the blow was jarring, flipping Jenny in a graceful yet forceful arc before she crashed against the canvas.
The Celestial Stunner let out a rallying war cry and swiftly rebounded the ropes, executing a elegant back-flip as she approached The Innovator and splashed across her body with a running Shooting Star Press!

Jenny shuddered as Starfire splashed across her body. Estrina hooked the back of Jacobs' leg for the...
ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Despite Jenny's valiant effort to kick out, she found herself in a disoriented state as she rose to her feet. The impact of Estrina's running SSP had taken its toll, leaving her momentarily dazed and struggling to regain her bearings.
"I'm just starting to sweat!" Estrina remarked as she hit the ropes and caught Jenny's head as she returned to hit her with a Swinging Neckbreaker! The impact of the maneuver reverberated through the ring as Jenny's neck and upper back slammed forcefully against the canvas. The crowd gasped in response, witnessing the calculated strategy of Estrina as she targeted Jenny's vulnerable neck, aiming to weaken her in preparation for the Event Horizon or The Pits of Starfire.
RUNNING SWINGING NECKBREAKER:

Clutching her neck, Jenny winced in pain as she pushed herself upright. The strain from the swinging Neckbreaker was evident on her face, showcasing the toll it had taken on her. She knew that her opponent would seize any opportunity to exploit her weakened state, but Jacobs was not one to be easily defeated. As Starfire closed in, Jenny readied herself for whatever was to come. She caught Starfire by surprise, swiftly wrapping her arm around the Celestial Stunner's nape. With a powerful surge of energy, Jenny executed a lightning-fast Sambo Suplex, hoisting her sweat-drenched opponent off her feet and forcefully slamming her into the canvas.
SAMBO SUPLEX

Both wrestlers laid side-by-side, chest heaving with exhaustion!
Cognizant of the hard-hitting nature of the match thus far, the Castle positioned himself close to the fallen wrestlers and waited a few seconds to see if either would begin to rise of her own volition. When they did not, he took a step back and lifted a finger to the rafters as he called out, “ONE!” This was quickly followed by two, three, and four, but it wasn't until “FIVE!” that blonde and brunette rolled in opposite directions to come up on their hands and knees. T'was a good start for sure, just not good enough to halt the zebra's tally, which had reached “EIGHT!” by the time both wrestlers were back on their fee—Estrina pumped a Toe Kick into Jenny's tummy, then caught her in a Front Facelock and slung the Innovator's left arm across her shouldNO!
Jacobs slipped loose of the Facelock and seized hold of Starfire's left wrist in the process. A quick go-behind folded Estrina's left arm up between her shoulders in a Hammerlock that the blonde maintained by holding onto that wrist with her left hand even after she'd dipped beneath the brunette's right arm. Longtime Jacobites in attendance for Summer Swelter let out a loud roar when the NorCal Sensation reared back and lashed out with her right arm to THAWHACK Starfire across the sternum with a 'Captivating' Lariat!
CAPTIVATING LARIAT:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iay0bXZC7hQ
The strike knocked Estrina flat and left her in perfect position to be covered, but Jenny bypassed the opportunity in favor of twining her fingers in the brunette's hair so she could haul her off the mat. Switching over to a Wristlock before the official could complain about her tactics, the blonde pointed Estrina toward a corner on the far side of the ring and hurled her toward it with an Irish Whip. Starfire made the trip in record time, not that this was necessarily a good thing as it ensured she was still going full bore when she swung around and BWUUUNGED spine-first against the top turnbuckle!
Everything was still shivering from that impact when the former World Champion flew in and drilled a huge Elbow Smash into the Celestial Stunner's jaw! Jacobs bounced clear on impact and so did Starfire, or rather, she wobbled clear of the turnbuckles following the ropes to come to a woozy stop about halfway to the next post. Jenny noted this, jogged to the opposite set of strands and bounced out of 'em to ensure she had a whole lotta extra momentum when she sprinted back across the canvas to land her second Elbow Smash in less than ten seconds!
The rubber-coated steel kept Estrina on her feet, but she was looking pretty ragged when the blonde cleared out and made yet another trip across the canvas. Only vaguely aware of the peril headed in her direction, Starfire stumbled toward the middle of the ring and—THWHACK! Jenny damned near took her head off with a Lariat that dropped the Californian to hip and shoulder while Estrina landed on the back of her head and shoulders like someone who'd just absorbed a particularly stiff Powerbomb! Starfire slopped to her back as the FAWNatics groaned in sympathy, though their support shifted focus once Jenny crawled over and draped herself across the brunette's chest for a count of...

TWO...
THRNOOOO!
Starfire lifted a shoulder off the mat to earn at least another three seconds in the match! Jacobs leaned back on her haunches, mopped a forearm across her brow and showed three fingers to Nick, who responded with only two.
Nodding in mild irritation at the expected answer, the Girl of 8,675,309 Holds helped herself to Estrina's boots, then got to her feet with those limbs spread wide. This earned a cheer from the crowd that faded when JJ didn't stomp the showboat's briefs, then got louder again once she turned around so her back was to the flattened former Lightweight Champion. Trapping Estrina's ankles in the triangles created by her forearms, biceps and torso, Jacobs locked her hands, then dipped her knees and maneuvered in such a fashion that Starfire was slowly but surely flipped onto her stomach. This shift allowed Jenny to step over the other wrestler's prone frame and the instant she did she dropped into a deep crouch, the Innovator using every bit of her hundred and thirty pounds to craaaaaaaaaaaank the brunette's spine into an awful curve courtesy the Whately Reef Crab!
WHATELY REEF CRAB:

“ARRRRRRRRHHHHHH!” Estrina wailed to the heavens as Jenny tried to break her in half, a situation made only more difficult by the FAWNatics that started to chant, 'TAP! TAP! TAP!'
Smiling as the chant grew in strength, Jacobs bobbed in time with it for several seconds before she said, “Know what your problem is, baby? You've always gotta run that mouth. You've always gotta TELL everyone how great you are. Me? I'd rather let my offense... and your sobbing, SHOW them how good I am.”
“YOU'RE NOT ON MY LEVEL!” Estrina shrieked as she pushed up on her palms, an adjustment that did nothing for the pain in her back. “YOU NEVER HAVE BEEN, NOT EVEN ON YOUR BEST DAAAAAAYYYYYYIIIIIEEEE!”
Jacobs sank into a deep squat that put even more strain on the brunette's vertebrae. “You're right, I'm not on your level.” Jacobs countered. “The big gold belts in my trophy room confirm I'm several stories ABOVE your level. You wanna come up and see the view from here? Try winning. Better yet, just stop whining.”
“SCREW YOU!” Estrina made it a few feet closer to the ropes, only to moan in frustration when the blonde dragged her back to the middle. “I'M BETTER THAN YOU'VE EVERNNNGHHH!”
Jenny went up on tiptoes, then dropped down full force to THWHUMP the small of Estrina's back with a nasty Butt Bomb! Dragging Starfire up by her shoulder-straps while the brunette was still writhing, Jacobs snatched a Wristlock and slung her into the ropes as hard as she could. The Innovator charged in the other direction, Jenny presumably looking for a little more momentum before she met Estrina in the middle for—NO! Starfire dipped a Lariat attempt and continued onto the far side while Jenny did the same. Their second pass proved quite different when Estrina took to the skies and leaned all the way back, the Celestial Stunner THWHUNKING her left knee into the veteran's face with vicious force!
STARSTRUCK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ekcc91yp7Q0
Starstruck into the middle of next week, Jacobs hit the deck in a heap while Estrina landed flat on her aching spine! Starfire cried out and pressed both hands to the small of her back, but a couple seconds was all she needed to scramble to her haunches and-- Jenny rolled clear of the pin attempt, the dazed battler oozing under the bottom rope to the floor half a heartbeat before Estrina could grab hold and reel her back in!
In a burst of frustration, Starfire slapped the canvas beneath her. She couldn't contain her disappointment at the turn of events, but she knew better than to waste precious time dwelling on it. The fiery Estrina stepped onto the ring apron and backed herself into the corner, gesturing for The Innovator to get up before running along the edge of the ring and crushing Jenny beneath her with a Diving Meteora!
APRON METEORA:

The Celestial Stunner collected the fallen Jacobs from the ringside and grabbed a handful of waistband and her hair. With a forceful spin, Starfire twirled her opponent around, disorienting her further before shoving her under the bottom rope and back into the ring. Starfire dove under the bottom rope and barreled Jenny to the center where she hooked her leg for the...
ONE!
TWO!
THRNOO!!!
Even though Estrina was visibly frustrated by the escape, she composed herself with a deep breath and raked back the sweat-matted hair that clung to her forehead. As Starfire rose to her feet, her eyes widened with surprise to see Jenny already beginning to stir. Determined to maintain her advantage, she delivered a series of stomps to Jenny's back, keeping her opponent down. With Jenny weakened beneath her, Estrina reached down, grabbing a handful of her opponent's attire. In a single fluid motion she effortlessly hoisted Jenny up, showcasing her strength and executed a Fisherman Suplex, seamlessly bridging her body for the pinning combination.

ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOOOOOOO!!!
"DAMN IT!" The Sweaty Sensation shouted in frustration and disgust she slammed the hand onto the canvas with a resounding THUD! The Asian took a brief moment to catch her breath before catching the weakened Jenny by the wrist and pulled her to a kneeling position. The intensity in her eyes remained unwavering as she focused on her weakened opponent. Seizing Jacobs by the wrists, Starfire got to her feet and yanked the blonde's arms behind her in an painful 'V'. The crowd held their breath, sensing the impending climax of the match as the Celestial Stunner prepared to deliver her finishing move, the dreaded 'Event Horizon.'
The Celestial Stunner reeled her leg back and dro--NO!!! With a sudden burst of energy, The Innovator forcefully threw Estrina forward, disrupting her momentum and causing her to crash to the canvas, landing on her back. Wasting no time, Jenny capitalized on her advantage. and dead-lifted the surprised Starfire, hoisting her high into the air. With a thunderous impact, Jenny executed a high-angled Back Suplex, forcefully slamming Estrina back-first onto the canvas. And as if one Back Suplex wasn't enough, Jenny picked Estrina up and delivered two more devastating Snap Back Suplexes for good measure!

The Innovator scurried toward the splayed Starfire and pressed onto her chest for the...
ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOOOOOOO!!!!
Starfire kicked out of what could have been a three count if Jenny had hooked her leg! Seizing the opportunity, she took hold of Estrina, pulling her towards her and locking her into a Standing Headscissors. With a display of her own strength, Jenny wrapped her arms tightly around Estrina's waist and hauled Starfire onto her shoulders. But Estrina, refusing to succumb, pushed herself off Jenny's perch and managed to land gracefully on her feet to evade the Powerbomb attempt. Taking advantage of the momentary opening, Estrina swiftly struck back, launching a kick to Jenny's midsection, doubling her over in pain. With Jenny gaping and vulnerable, she hooked her opponent's head, driving it forcefully into the canvas with a thunderous DDT!

Jacobs somersaulted through the landing to finish on her back in a loose-limbed starfish while Estrina tumbled alongside the blonde to bounce back to her feet while the ring was still shivering. “SHE'S DONE!” Starfire bellowed at the top of her lungs as she made a point of stepping on Jenny's tummy as she tromped over to the nearest corner and grabbed the top rope in both hands. Raucous roars from the capacity crowd when Starfire hopped up and twisted around in midair to land atop the high rent district facing her flattened adversary. Left hand thrown high overhead, the former Lightweight Champion made a show of tracing her fingers up that armpit so she could 'flick' a mist of sweat at the vulnerable blonde. Jenny offered no reply herself, so the Jacobites provided plenty of boos, not that the Celestial Stunner seemed to mind. Indeed Estrina was all smiles when she leapt off and twisted around in midair, the brunette leading with her feet in a gorgeous back-flip brought every bit of her weight down on the Innovator's che—NO!
Jenny rolled toward the corner, leaving that stretch of canvas as a most unwelcome crash-pad for the Princess of Perspir—NOT TONIGHT!
Starfire saw the escape and adjusted accordingly, the nimble battler landing on her feet just to drop into a backward somersault that returned her to verticality much closer to the opposite side of the squared circle. As for Jacobs, she clambered to boot-leather, locked eyes with Estrina and beckoned her forward with a pair of upraised J's. “How're you gonna beat me from way over there, honey?”
Pretty features strained by frustration, Starfire swiped both pits but instead of flicking her fingers at the blonde she rushed forward at top speed! Jenny noted this aggressive approach and exploded out to meet her, blonde and brunette meeting at center ring where the latter lashed out with a Lariat meant to turn the former inside ou—Jenny dipped beneath Estrina's right arm while simultaneously hooking her own right arm across Starfire's chest so she could press that hand between her shoulders. In the same breath Jacobs dipped down low and popped her hips, the NorCal Sensation flipping over backward to land on her tummy while Estrina was THAWHAMMED to the deck courtesy the Jenny-Cide!
JENNY-CIDE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VjrO-DoNrc
Twisting to a seat the instant the maneuver connected, Jacobs stretched out back-first across Starfire's chest and captured both legs in a bundle that pointed Estrina's buns to the lights for a count of...
ONE...
TWO...
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Castle bounded to his feet throwing a desperate sort of 'don't ring it!' signal to the Timekeeper to ensure the match kept going, such was the narrowness of Starfire's escape! Jenny saw him do this, the man's actions didn't really register in her brain until she held up three fingers and he shook his head emphatically 'no'. “It was only two, Jenny!” he told her over the incredulous cacophony. “Match is still live!”
Expression changing from stunned to stern after she swiped a hand through her hair, Jacobs abruptly rolled Starfire onto her stomach and sidled down so she could take possession of her opponent's ankles. “Let's see you slip your way out of this one, baby.”
Possessing an ankle in each hand, the Girl of 8,675,309 Holds forced Estrina's right shin into the pit of her left knee, then folded that leg back to secure a Figure Four. Twisting around to brace her right knee against the small of Starfire's back, Jenny kept hold of those tangled boots and pulled Estrina's knotted legs off the mat so she could tuck them beneath her right arm. In the same instant she slipped her right hand through the negative space created by Estrina's stems and clasped her hands atop Starfire's left knee-pad to make sure she couldn't just squirm free of Jacobs' Ladder!
JACOBS' LADDER:

“Hrrrgghhh....AAAAAAARRRRRHHHHH!” Starfire wailed to wake the dead as the agonizing stretch curved her spine into a tipped over 'J'.
“Give up!” Jenny ordered as she leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaned back on the agonizing hold. “Give up or I'll make sure your toes touch the back of your head!”
“Nuuuuhhhhh... NO!” Starfire braced her palms against the mat and started to push off only to shriek even louder when Jacobs ground the point of her encroaching knee into the Celestial Stunner's back. Estrina wailed even louder and Jenny bounced along to the 'TAP!' chants that had grown louder as Starfire went from 'J' to 'C' and ever closer to 'O'.
“What do you say, Estrina?” the ref sounded concerned and rightfully so, the distance between the toe of Starfire's boots and the back of her skull was rapidly dwindling. “Do you give up? Just say the word and--”
“NO!” Estrina flailed wildly, shooing the zebra away before she planted her palms on the canvas and started to puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush up as high as she could. “SHE CAN'T MAKE ME SUBMIT! I'M THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WOROOOOOHHHHHH GAAAAAAAAHHHHH!”
Jenny shifted her right knee to the nape of Starfire's neck and pulled that much harder! Now the trapped brunette was almost straight up and down and the 'TAP!' chants had given way to groans of sympathetic anguish as the Celestial Stunner was bent in ways the human body was never meant to--
“GIVE!” Estrina had been pulling her own hair, now she let loose and swatted the mat with both hands. “I GIVE! I GIVE! I GI--”
“YOU SUBMIT!” Jenny barked over the CLANG of the bell.
“I SUBMIT!” Estrina sobbed. “Now lemme go!”
The Innovator did, though not until a heartbeat after the Announcer called, “Ladies and gentlemen, your winner via submission... JENNY JACOBS!”
Jenny tossed the brunette's legs aside and stood tall, the former World Champion basking in the adulation of the capacity crowd.
The same could not be said of Estrina, who only writhed and moaned in the victrix's shadow. She'd been so goddamned close, but in the end she'd made the last mistake and it'd cost her dearly. The demoralized beauty was about to roll under the bottom rope when Jacobs dropped down beside her on one knee. “Did good tonight, sweaty.” JJ patted her brunette on the butt. “Not everyone can claim to have kicked out of the Jenny-Cide in the middle of the ring. “But you're never going to be the best if you waste so much energy telling everyone how good you are. If you were REALLY that good, you wouldn't have to tell 'em. They'd tell you.”
Jacobs patted Estrina's hip again, then stood up and set a boot atop Starfire's buns while she raised the J's one more time. They were still hoisted high when the feed cut to a promo for tonight's World Title bout.
