The house lights dimmed as a familiar tune began blasting through the arena.
MOUNTAIN SONG:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3j3mIXASfw
“Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for thirty minutes and is a Last Woman Standing Match! That means there are no pin-falls, no submissions, no count outs and no disqualifications! The match will only end when one woman can not answer the ten count administered by the referee. Introducing first, hailing from Singapore, she stands at five feet four inches tall and weighs in tonight at one hundred and eighteen pounds. She is the Celestial Stunner… ESTRINA STARFIRE!”
ESTRINA STARFIRE:
The lights shone brightly at the curtain revealing the silhouette of Starfire, stirring the fans to cheer as loud as they could. A cannonade of pyrotechnics soared into the air and Estrina stepped out of the smoke dispersed to reveal special entrance attire for Fawnamania. To celebrate her first anniversary in the promotion as well as her triumphant return, she had worked with the backstage crew to design an epic entrance for the event. She’d donned a red star-shaped mask and was clad in an elaborate sleeveless ring robe which glittered under the spotlights.
More Pyro went off beside her with each step she took down the ramp. She slowly climbed the steel steps and walked along the apron to the center, pointing a jaunty finger into the air to rally the crowd before entering the ring over the middle rope. She slowly undid her robe as she ascended the turnbuckle and removed both mask and robe at the same time, throwing them into lucky front row spectators. She paused for a moment and spread her arms widely into a “T” to pose, before treating them to a smile and wink.
The arena lights switched back on as she leapt back onto the ring, stretching herself as she waited for her opponent for the night.
With Estrina basking in the adulation of her first ‘Mania crowd, the Announcer called, “And introducing her opponent, hailing from New Haven Connecticut, she stands at five feet three inches tall and weighs in tonight at one hundred and fourteen pounds. Ladies and gentlemen she is the Red Menace… CLAUDIA ROONEY!”
CLAUDIA ROONEY:
A raucous round of jeers flooded the arena as the lights went dark and the speakers started ticking away. The clock soon faded to a keening guitar riff which in turn raised the house lights in crimson. Piercing this arterial vale was a single white spot trained on the stage, the only accompaniment to Red Light King’s ’Bullet In My Hand’.
I've got a fast life and a slow cuttin' knife
I've been drinkin' at a poisoned well.
No home and a bag of bones
And nothin' else left to sell.
I know why I'm in this hell
I just don't wanna believe.
Past that line you just can't tell
But right now
There's someone lookin' out for me!
Emerging from the dark of backstage in silence, Claudia Rooney raised an index finger to her lips, then put her hands together and ‘snapped’ an invisible stick over her knee, no doubt a reminder of what she had already done to the woman in the squared circle. The crowd didn’t like it much, not that Claudia gave a damn, she was just happy for the opportunity to embarrass an oxygen waster like Starfire on a stage this grand.
For tonight’s trouncing the Red Menace wore a sturdy black two-piece with hot pink flames airbrushed on the top and across the seat. The fiery scheme carried over to her pads and boots as both were a matching red, a perfect complement for the chunky bands adorning each wrist. Making a hard left when she reached the foot of the aisle, Claudia stamped up the steps and hopped onto the turnbuckles. It was from this perch that she spread her arms wide, urging the crowd to listen up as Mark Kasprzyk howled ‘I can’t see the light’.
Jumping from corner to floor as the lights returned to normal, Claudia stomped to center ring and beckoned Estrina to join her. Starfire did, the white-clad import chesting in on the hated redhead mere seconds after the challenge was issued. Certain that it was pointless to bother keeping them apart, Al Carpenter stood between the warring wrestlers and urged them for calm while he went through last minute inspections and instructions.
Practically nose to nose when the bell CLANGED, Claudia kicked things off on a properly mean-spirited note when she put one hand against the side of Estrina’s face and gave her a hard shove. “Walk away while you still can, loser.” the redhead suggested as Starfire backpedaled a few steps. “Or don’t. I’ve always wanted to see a bytch flown out of this place by helicoptNNNGGGGGHHHH!”
Estrina roared in and went low, driving a shoulder into Rooney’s belly while simultaneously hooking her behind the knees! Neither a Spear or a Double Leg Takedown, this energetic hybrid drove the Red Menace to the deck with a loud THWHUMP and set Starfire up in a near perfect mount. Filling one hand with her rival’s coppery locks, the Celestial Stunner balled her other hand into a fist and set to work pwak-pwak-PWAKING at Claudia’s forehead!
“YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE GETTING CARTED OUT OF HERE TONIGHT, SWEETIE!” she bellowed over the pugilistic accompaniment. “AND IF YOU DON’T STAY DOWN, YOU’RE GONNA NEED A WHOLE WING OF THE HOSPITAL ALL TO YOURSELF!”
Covered up behind a hasty guard she’d raised halfway through the brunette’s rant, Claudia almost demanded the ref address the closed hands before she remembered it was all perfectly legal. With that in mind she waited for Starfire to stop throwing hands, then reached up and--THWHUNK! Estrina snatched a double handful of Claudia’s hair, yanked her head off the mat, then bounced it like a basketball. Going right back to the hair-hold, Starfire got to her feet and forced the black-clad battler to do the same. Once upright the hair-hold gave way to a Wristlock, which in turn powered the Irish Whip that flung Rooney across the squared circle on a sharp diagonal.
Far slower to react than usual, Claudia still managed an abrupt half turn before she reached the corner, not that the switch ultimately did much good, as a rampaging Estrina was right there to THWHACK a huge Forearm Smash across her jaw! That in conjunction with the BWUUUNG of back-on-buckle was enough to loosen Rooney’s knees, but she’d barely started to slouch when Starfire caught her under the armpits.
“I don’t think so, honey.” the Asian import taunted as she muscled Claudia back up and stuffed her against the buckles. “You’re not getting counted down until I’m good and ready!” The Whist Warrior had no answer for that, so Estrina mounted the second rope and laid claim to Rooney’s hair for the second time in as many minutes. “I wonder what’ll burn brighter,” Starfire pulled a fist back, drawing a bead on her prey’s forehead. “The overhead lights or the ones exploding behind your eyes?”
She brought her punchin’ hand down once, then twice and that was more than enough to set the FAWNatics to tracking the tally. ‘THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NI--’
Disappointment from all corners when Claudia braced both hands against Starfire’s tummy and shoved her clear of the corner with the count unfinished. Of course those bad feelings vanished when Starfire raced in, took to the skies and THWUMPED both knees into Claudia’s vulnerable chest! Rooney ‘OOOFFFHED!’ and dropped to her butt with no protest from Starfire. That was probably because the Celestial Stunner had already made her way to center ring for an equally swift return. The second set of Double Knees slammed into the redhead’s shoulders, the force of it just driving the bottom buckle between her shoulders.
DOUBLE KNEES IN CORNER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=akZmqqiLauM
Al took a step forward, thinking Estrina might call for a count, but she’d only bent over to twine her fingers in Claudia’s hair. “Up, bytch.” she ordered. “I said on your feet!” Another savage yank got a shout from Rooney but it also got Starfire what she wanted, a fair trade as far as the brunette was concerned. Taking a step back to admire her handiwork, Estrina paused, apparently remembering something crucial. “Oh, you dropped this earlier.”
CRAAACK! She pasted Claudia across the cheek with a Bytch Slap that more than answered the earlier Pie Face.
Deciding it was time to do some work away from the corners, Estrina felt it only proper to leave in style, so she yanked Rooney’s noggin down into a Front Facelock and marched her out just far enough to switch positions. “Been waiting for this a long time, Claudia.” Starfire admitted as she climbed the ropes to take a seat on the top turnbuckle. “I had plenty of time in rehab to think about exactly what I was going to do to you, and now that I’ve finally got the chance I don’t think you’ll endure a fraction of it! Still, no reason not to try!”
With the Silent Siren’s head snugged tight against her hip, Estrina braced both feet against the middle buckle and pushed off into a wide, looping circle that would’ve spiked Claudia’s skull into the mat if Rooney hadn’t wrapped both arms around her waist and rose to her full height. With their bodies forming a large capital ‘T’, Claudia kept right on turning until she was able to drop Estrina back where she’d started. Frowning in the wake of the thwarted DDT, Estrina pounded a few Overhand Forearm Smashes against the redhead’s back only to have Rooney answer back with half a dozen punches to the brunette’s ribs.
To make matters worse, Claudia grabbed hold of her scant briefs and YAAAAAAAAAAAANKED them as hard as she could! Starfire wailed and let go, the Facelock completely forgotten as she tried to deal with the wedgie. Didn’t have to endure it long thankfully, as Rooney let go after less than five seconds. Sighing with relief, Estrina reached back to tend to her togs and in doing so offered up her chin, which Claudia claimed for her own with a savage Super Kick! The brunette’s head snapped back, then she slumped forward, Starfire managing to grab hold of the top rope to keep herself as steady as possible after the brain-rattling strike. Taking a second to catch her breath following her opponent’s quick start, Claudia cleared off a ways, then raced into the corner and sprang onto the top rope to Estrina’s left. There was a loud THWHACK followed by groans from the crowd as the Enzugiri caromed off the side of Starfire’s skull.
TOP ROPE ENZUGIRI:

Forearms limp on her thighs, Estrina groaned and shook her head, working hard to clear the cobwebs before-- cries of shock and surprise from the FAWNatics when Rooney rushed in and treated the brunette to a single violent shove that sent Starfire tumbling from her perch all the way to floor almost twelve feet below! Crowded against the ropes almost at once, Al Carpenter waited long enough to make sure Estrina was in fact moving, then raised a hand over his head and shouted, “ONE… TWO… THREE…”
“C’mon bytch, get up!” the Whist Warrior demanded of her sprawled adversary. “I thought you were going to make this challenging!”
“FOUR… FIVE…SI--”
Starfire rolled to her stomach, pushed to all fours, then grabbed a handful of apron and used it to haul herself to vertical--”OOOOOOWWWWW!”
Estrina wailed long and loud when Rooney strode over and casually stamped on her right hand! Backing away from the ring without thinking about it, Starfire stuck her aching hand beneath her left arm, meaning she was rather preoccupied when Claudia vaulted over the top rope in a wicked little corkscrew that brought her down atop her opponent’s chest full force! Rooney rolled away at once, popped to her feet and teased the crowd with a deep, theatrical bow.
SLINGSHOT CORKSCREW PLANCHA:

“What the hell are you still doing in there, Carpenter?” Claudia asked after she noticed the referee hovering near the ropes. “Get out here and count this piece of garbage out!”
“ONE…TWO…THREE…FOU—“
Estrina began to sit up as the count continued but was immediately dropped back to the ground as Rooney straddled her waist and repeatedly punched her in the face! Punch-drunk, Claudia immediately pulled Estrina back to her feet and slammed her head against the ring apron! Starfire’s eyes grew droopy with the repeated blows and she only kept herself steady by leaning on the apron. Claudia raked Estrina’s long silky hair backward, exposing her face just long enough to spit on her cheek!
“I beat you twice! What makes you think it woul---?” PAK!
Starfire sent an ear-deafening slap across Claudia’s face in response to the disrespectful gesture! Stunned after the brutal forehand, Claudia stumbled backward and walked right into a head-splitting Roundhouse!
ROUNDHOUSE:

Claudia’s eyes showed glassy as her body slumped to the ground with drool trailing her head in mid-air as she fell.
“COUNT THIS BYTCH OUT!” Estrina shouted.
“ONE…TWO…THREE…FOUR...”
Claudia slowly planted her palms against the ground and pushed herself up slightly while shaking her senses back to rights. She folded her legs in, then her ankle and pushed herself up with most of her effort coming from one leg. The count stopped at “SEVEN” as she as she got onto both feet but immediately stumbled against the announcer’s table.
“I was afraid you might be counted out just like that. I have so much more for you.” Estrina taunted as she grabbed Rooney by her hair and waistband and threw her into the ring. As Claudia rolled to a stop, parallel to the ring ropes, Estrina hopped onto the ring apron and firmly held on to the top rope. She leaned back and taunted the top rope with all her weight and rolled over the top rope, smashing her outstretched leg onto the chest of Claudia.

Claudia’s legs jounced up upon the impact but Estrina was not ready to let her be counted down just yet. She picked the Redhead up, placed once hand behind her head and one hand between her thighs. Claudia was scooped up and dropped right on the back of her head with a Michinoku Driver.
MICHINOKU DRIVER:

Rooney settled into a starfish after the crash landing so Al started counting.
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE…
The Whist Warrior rolled onto her side and grabbed the bottom rope, then the middle and finally the top hoist herself back to verticality.
The fiery Starfire was unwilling to grant Claudia any room to breathe. She quickly moved behind Claudia and wrapped her arms around the waist and hauled…
“UGHHHH” The Silent Siren held onto the top rope, thwarting Estrina’s attempt at a German Suplex. Estrina tried once more to pry her opponent out of the ropes but was yet again met with resistance. Seizing the opportunity, Claudia snapped a mule kick back between her opponent’s thighs!
“UGHHHHHHHH!” Estrina groaned and her knees buckled as Claudia’s heel ground into her nether regions.
“No disqualification, bytch!” Claudia smirked.
Two hands cupped behind Starfire’s head, The Red Menace pressed her head against the ropes and DRAAAGGGGGGGED it along the ropes, blistering her face with the rubber-coated steel.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Estrina shrieked as her eyes flared with pain. She covered her face and landed beside the ropes as she writhed with agony.
“Your face is sure burning bright and red now!” Claudia remarked cockily before pinball-ing from the opposite ropes and sent Estrina out of the ring with a running Dropkick to her exposed stomach!
The Celestial Stunner dropped onto the ringside with a loud THUD and groaned in pain as the Red Menace followed her out of the ring and gave her a few good stomps to the head for good measure.
The white-clad beauty rolled to elbows and knees, crawling in search of a support to pull herself up. Little did she know, Rooney had just ripped a cord out of the nearest FAWN camera and was stalking her with the makeshift garrote stretched taut in her hands. Flashing a sinister grin, the Whist Warrior wrapped the cable around Estrina’s neck and choked the life out of her!
“HUUUURGGEHH” Estrina gagged and heaved. Her hands frantically clawed Claudia’s arms and begged for a release but Claudia proceeded to press her knee into the back of her head, squeezing the tears out of her eyes. After half a minute, Estrina’s struggles slowed, her eyes began to flutter and her hands dropped to her sides. Satisfied, Rooney released the hold, allowing Estrina to fall flat on the ground for the count. The ref panicked and immediately came down to the ringside to check Estrina’s breathing. After confirming Estrina was safe, he began to count.
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEV---
Estrina regained her consciousness and began to ascend. It was a slow struggle but thankfully, she stood on her feet at the count of nine to keep herself in the match before falling back onto her butt.
“F*ck, you really want to retire early, don’t you?” Claudia muttered to herself before she began looking under the ring for something, something that could really break Estrina in half. After a moment she slid a ladder from underneath the ring and set it flat across the narrow ringside aisle, suspended by the apron on one side and the barricade on the other. Claudia lifted the flaccid Estrina and dragged her toward the side of the ladder before tucking Estrina’s head between her thighs in a Standing Headscissors.
“This is it, punk! Your career in FAWN ends here!” Rooney growled as she wrapped her arms around Estrina’s waist and attempted to deadlift her onto her shoulders. However, her legs began to flutter as soon as her feet left the ground, making it difficult for Rooney to pick her onto her shoulders. Estrina’s hand firmly grabbed Claudia’s hamstring as she attempted a second lift.
“EUUUGHRRRHHHH” Estrina hauled Claudia overhead and dropped her back first into the unforgiving steel ladder!
BACK BODY DROP:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwuRk917hU4
“URGHHH!! FUUUUGRHH!! ARGHHHH!!!” Claudia’s body involuntarily spasmed as a tidal wave of pain ran through her spine. Her face was filled with anguish, her nose flared as she tried to breathe. Claudia had finally tasted the pain she put Estrina through unfortunately for her Starfire was not satisfied with letting matters rest there. The Celestial Stunner wrapped her left arm around Claudia’s head and pummeled her right fist into Claudia’s forehead once, twice and thrice, setting off the FAWNatics to track the punches once more!
“FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!”
“YEAHHHH!!!” Estrina came to a stop and threw her left fist into the air, signaling for the crowd to pause in anticipation. Smiling, the Celestial Stunner ran her hand down her armpit evoking a loud response from the crowd. The “TEN” finally came as Estrina slapped her right hand across Claudia’s face! The FAWNatics cheers didn’t end after the tenth count but only grew louder.
“YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING SPECIAL?” Estrina asked the crowd. Undoubtedly, the crowd shouted “YES!” in response.
“This is payback…” Estrina cooed into her nemesis’ ear as she firmly grabbed onto Claudia’s top.
“No…” Claudia pleaded but to no avail. Estrina stripped Claudia’s top off with one swift motion and threw it into the crowd, evoking immense cheering from the fans.
“You have no idea what I am capable of bytch! The night has just started!” Estrina growled as she went beneath the ladder Claudia was lying perpendicular to. The white-clad beauty folded Claudia’s leg into a “figure-four” and kept one hand on the hanging leg, while her other hand cupped onto Claudia’s chin.
“This is it!” Estrina whispered and BEEEEEEENNTTTT Claudia’s body over the ladder!
BOW AND ARROW:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr_wqt18Z4Q
“ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Claudia screamed in her torturous predicament and flared her free arms in the air with her bare breasts in full sight while Estrina’s feet slowly lifted off the ground, bending her back with all her weight. It didn’t take long before the Whist Warrior desperately screamed “I GIVE! I GIVE! LET ME GO!” to which Estrina replied, “NO SUBMISSIONS! REMEMBER?”
Rooney immediately shut up, the stretched redhead clearly more embarrassed by the useless surrender than her partially stripped condition. That was just fine by Estrina, she went right on reefing and wrenching at the trapped battler’s chin and ankles for another ten seconds before she raised her legs, braced both feet against the American’s backside and treated her to a disdainful shove. Too exhausted by her time on the ladder to muster much in the way of defense, Claudia hit the floor on her hip and shoulder, then slopped onto her tummy and didn’t move. Sliding her way out from under the ladder, Starfire put her hands on her hips and huffed, “Count her down!”
No need to tell Al twice, he moved over to Claudia and called out, “ONE… TWO…THREE… FOUR… FIVE… SIX… SEVEN…”
The Silent Siren pushed to all fours, grabbed hold of the apron and used it to haul herself to verticality, thus keeping herself in the match for a little while longer. Angry over the defiance but more than willing to continue the punishment, Starfire dipped under the ladder, came up beside her prey and grabbed a huge double handful of hair. Rooney cried out and fired an elbow into the brunette’s gut, unfortunately it didn’t stop the Celestial Stunner from yanking her up on tiptoe and THWHONKING her forehead into the apron! Claudia bounced up from the impact and reeled backward across the narrow aisle -- she might’ve plopped onto her butt if Starfire hadn’t stepped in beside her and hooked an arm across her shoulders.
Arranged side by side, Estrina threaded her near leg over Rooney’s, then leaned over and planted a taunting kiss on her cheek. “Like I told ya, baby. You don’t go down until I say you do!” With that she leaned forward, then whipped full reverse to BWAAANG the back of Claudia’s head and shoulders into the steel barricade! The force of it bruised some shins in the front row, but the FAWNatics were happy to endure for such an excellent view of the action.
BARRICADE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2-drYSXFk4
Adrenaline helped Estrina shake off the ache of her own impact and she was on her feet in the blink of an eye. Pausing just long enough to exchange high fives with a few of her supporters, the white-clad battler buried her hands in Rooney’s hair and dragged her back to boot-leather. “Kiss the floor, bytch.” Estrina hopped up and dropped to her knees, all the better to THWHUMP Claudia’s noggin against the thin blue mats with a no-frills Facebuster. Bounced over onto her back in the aftermath, Claudia was the perfect target for a count, but when Carpenter stepped up, Estrina waved him off. “Hold off for now. I’m not finished crushing her just yet.”
Al nodded in deferral and cleared out, giving the Celestial Stunner all the space she needed to climb onto the ladder bridge she’d created earlier.
Steady despite the awkward nature of her footing, Starfire raised both hands high and waggled her fingers, urging the crowd to get that much louder. Accompanied by the roar of their manmade thunder, Estrina leapt into the void, executed a perfect mid-air toe touch, then straightened out just in time to THWHAP the full weight of her near hundred and twenty pounds across Claudia’s fluttering midsection! The Frog Splash folded Rooney into a ‘V’, but hooking a leg was pointless, so Starfire swatted them aside and popped to her feet, the Eastern Import making sure to stamp on her foe’s belly as she strode by. “Count.” she told Al. “Let’s see if she’s got the guts to get up after that!”
Carpenter wasn’t about to comment on the Whist Warrior’s intestinal fortitude, even if she was currently splattered across the mat. Taking a careful position between his charges, he started to count. “ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FI--”
Surprise and a few grudging cheers from the ‘Mania crowd as Claudia hauled herself upright before the halfway point. Estrina shook her head in disgust, then turned around and jogged over to the steel steps down at the far end. Going from floor to steps to apron in approximately two seconds, Starfire drew a bed on the knock-kneed redhead and raced down the narrow ledge at a pace to rival Lily Burlingame. With Rooney barely vertical, Estrina took to the skies to divebomb down on her prey with a flawless Ecstasy Spla-NOOO! Claudia snatched the brunette out of the void and used Estrina’s own momentum to hurl herself into a flawless Standing Moonsault with Starfire strapped across her chest! The result was a brutal Power Slam, the white-clad lovely just CRUSHED between her foe and the floor!
MOONSAULT POWER SLAM:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL65G7XYV0E
Rocking back on her haunches after the explosive counter, Claudia raked a hand through her hair before slapping the brunette’s face. “That’s the thing about shooting stars,” the Silent Siren taunted her agonized opposition, “they always make the best craters.” She would’ve said more if Carpenter hadn’t moved in to start the count. “Not a chance, asshole.” Rooney chided after plunging her hands into Estrina’s hair. “I’m not even sort of done with this bytch yet.”
Al sighed but Claudia didn’t see it, she was too focused on peeling the white-clad wrestler off the deck. With Starfire in no condition to stop her, Claudia snuggled in against her prey’s left side, grabbed hold of her ankle and folded her leg so that Estrina’s heel was jammed against her butt. Then she slipped her head beneath the Asian’s left arm and slapped on a half Waistlock, everything she needed to hoist Starfire high into the air. The FAWNatics recognized the Shinbreaker at once, alas they didn’t grasp Rooney’s intent until she rushed down the aisle and BWAAAANGED Starfire’s folded leg down on the edge of the ladder!
Estrina wailed like a banshee, one hand flying to her abused limb, the other scrabbling at the ladder in hopes of staying upright. Claudia helped with the latter, at least in the short term. Turning the hobbled lovely around with an iron grasp on one shoulder, the Red Menace slung her left arm across Estrina’s chest while simultaneously dipping her head beneath the brunette’s left arm and cradling her damaged leg. Bearing down on all her hooks, Rooney got low and popped her hips to fling Starfire up, over and most importantly down, Estrina hitting the thinly-sheathed concrete with a sweaty SPLAT! Starfire hit full force, rolled onto her knees and immediately shrieked in pain as she put too much weight on the throbbing joint. She crumpled into a near fetal ball immediately thereafter, a tacit invitation for Al Carpenter to resume his duties.

“ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR--” Claudia strolled over and casually STOMPED the other woman’s back. “Dammit Claudia, if you hit her it resets the count!” the ref grumbled.
Rooney batted her eyes and smiled sweetly. “Oh, I know.” With that issue settled, Claudia bent down, curled her fingers around the thin white strap stretched across Estrina’s shoulders and ripped her top away with a violent little ‘snap!’ “Thought you could embarrass me, is that it?” the Silent Siren cooed as she tugged Estrina’s hands behind her back. “Little girl, you’re about to find out what happens to chicks who try to get famous at my expense.”
Estrina mumbled, tried to pull her hands loose, but Claudia kept ‘em under control as she used the shorn top to bind her adversary’s wrists together. With Starfire effectively down two arms and a leg, Rooney had no problem hauling her upright, though it took a bit more effort than usual to keep her there. Walking with an arm around Starfire’s shoulders like they were old friends and not mortal enemies, Claudia trudged over to the corner with the steel steps and promptly knocked them aside with a trio of well-placed kicks. Once they were out of the way she wrapped one arm around Starfire’s waist and braced her other hand against the Asian’s rump.
Groans of sympathy from those assembled when Claudia muscled Estrina up and THWHUMPED her crotch-first into the steel ring post! With her arms bound, Starfire was forced to lock her legs around the unforgiving steel to keep from dropping to the floor, which was exactly what Claudia wanted. Sliding under the bottom rope in a flash, she prized the brunette’s legs apart and pulled her groin into the post once, twice, three times! Holding an ankle in each hand, Rooney smirked and said, “Remember, submissions don’t count, skank.” She did a quick twist around Estrina’s left leg, dropped to her tush and laid Starfire’s left shin across her right leg, then hooked her own leg over the exposed ankle and squeeeeeeeeeeeezed down on the Figure Four!
“AAAAAAWWWWWW GAAAAAAHHHHD, STAAAAAAAAAAHHHHP!” Estrina screamed to life as Claudia tried to snap her leg. In the ring, Rooney planted her hands against the mat and lifted her butt into the air, adding that much more pressure to the already devastating hold.
"Ahhhhhh! No! No! STAHPPP!" Estrina shook her head and sobbed as the pressure mounted on the recently damaged leg. Her head slowly grew heavy with the blood rushing to her head. She tried bringing her body parallel to the ground with her recently strengthened core to at least relieve the pressure from the leg lock but the pain proved too much for her newfound strength to bear as she immediately went back hanging off the ring post. Like a melting candle, a pool of sweat collected beneath where she was hanging, this was clearly beyond any matches she has wrestled. Her painful screams slowly softened into pitiful moaning as the hold persisted.
It was more than a minute before Claudia decided she’d done enough damage to relinquish the hold. Without her hands to break the fall, Estrina fell right on her noggin with a THUD. Her neck twisted in a sickly angle as she landed, raising concerns through the crowd. Al quickly raced down to the ringside and started counting.
"ONE! TWO-"
A sigh of relief was heard from the crowd as the white-clad lovely began to crawl with the limited use of her limbs towards the barricade.
"THREE! FOUR! FI--"
The Whist Warrior followed her the ringside and pulled out a leather strap from under the ring while Estrina dragged herself up with the help of the barricade and rested with her back against the barricade. Rooney smiled deviously and pulled the strap taut as she closed in on Starfire. Rooney teased the white-clad lovely by caressing her small, perky breasts before she swung the leather strap and SMAACKED her bare chest, causing Estrina to yelp and cover up as best she could with her bound hands. Claudia prized her arms away, and dealt the twice and thrice, earning Estrina's puppy-like yelp with each blow.
"DAMN, that looks like it HURTS, girl!” Claudia teased as she patted her foe’s welted rack before sending Estrina over the barricade with an impactful Clothesline.
Security immediately jumped into the crowd to make way for the brawl. Limping on one leg and defenseless, the white-clad lovely quickly came under a barrage of punches to her face, causing her to stumble back deeper into the crowd and up a flight of stairs.
Claudia then tucked Estrina's head into her armpit and hauled her over with a Snap Suplex! Estrina's body bounced slightly off the ground before coming to a still.
"This is the end, bytch! Maybe you can still get work back at whatever shythole you crawled out of.” Claudia grabbed her stunned opponent by her cheek and snarled. She steadily climbed up progressively larger loudspeakers until she was six feet of the ground.
"Your career ends here!" Claudia, with her arms outstretched, leapt into the air and executed a flawless 450 spin and ...
"OHHHHHHHHHHH!" The crowd echoed out loud as Claudia landed hard into the concrete ground, body bouncing off the ground and flipped face up in a spread eagle.
The crowd cheered loudly as their favorite white-clad lovely rolled away in the nick of time.
Seeing both wrestlers down, Al immediately started the count for both of them.
"ONE! TWO! THREE--"
Estrina quickly got onto her belly and asked the fans to untie her hands. At the same time, Claudia was beginning to crawl her way but the brunette’s hands were freed just in time to nail a back elbow in Claudia's face, knocking her off her back.
Estrina looked at her hands at squeezed several times to get blood flowing again before she tiredly picked Claudia off the ground.
Claudia shoved Estrina's arms away and nailed a punch to the cheek of her attacker. Starfire’s head snapped violently to the right with a cloud of sweat billowing out behind. But Estrina was quick to return the favor. The two continued to trade punches in the crowd till even those closest lost count until Estrina finally sent her rolling down the flight of stairs with a Dropkick to her chest.
THUD! Claudia came to a stop as she crashed into the barricade. Estrina soon followed with her right hand over her waist, panting and staggering as she climbed down the stairs. Finally back at the base of the stairs, the Celestial Stunner picked and pressed Claudia on the barricade and sent her back to the ringside with her own neck-snapping Clothesline. Her body flipped backwards and over, coming to a stop on all fours.
But The Celestial Stunner was unable to keep up with the momentum, falling onto kneeling on one knee with one arm on the barricade for support. Body bruised, and leg hurting, the Celestial Stunner was basically surviving this match on borrowed time from her career lifespan. Sufficiently rested, Estrina slowly make her move over the barricade one leg at a time starting with a right leg when suddenly...
SMACK!!!
DEARLY DEPARTED:

The Whist Warrior quickly got up and delivered a Dearly Departed gift to Estrina before collapsing back to all fours. Estrina's body went limp immediately and fell off the barricade like Humpty Dumpty off the wall.
"ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIG---"
To the delightful surprise of the FAWNatics, The Celestial Stunner got onto her feet first before Claudia evoking loud cheers from the crowd.
Estrina picked Claudia by her hair and waistband and threw her under the bottom rope.
Limping on one leg, Estrina sluggishly slid back into the ring but was quickly interrupted when an equally exhausted Rooney dove forward and threw a hammer fist to the back of Estrina's head, weak but enough to nail her down for a brief moment.
"ONE!"
The two deadly nemeses soon began ascending together.
"TWO!"
Starting from hands and knees, they crawled toward each other and clinched like exhausted boxers.
Depending on each other for support, they slowly struggled to verticality and stopped the count. Still locked in a clinch, Claudia surged forward hard and pushed Estrina back against the ropes. Their sweaty bodies stuck to each other breast-to-breast, cheek-to-cheek like Velcro. Starfire raked back Claudia's sweat-matted copper hair and smacked that bytch with a Headbutt! Claudia backpedalled a few steps and kept herself from falling with hands on her knees.
Seeing the opportunity, the Celestial Stunner quickly lunged forward and tucked Claudia's head between her warm sweaty thighs.
"Thanks to you...*pants*...I have learned...*pants*...how effective this is!" Estrina stuttered and wrapped her arms around Claudia's waist. She took a deep breath and hauled Claudia's body upwards but struggled mid-way drop through the attempted Powerbomb. Even though Claudia was light, the damage Starfire's leg had sustained through the match was too much to completely haul her opponent onto her shoulders. Her face grimaced and flushed as she held Claudia in a mid-Powerbomb lift for three, maybe four seconds before she finally gives up and dropped Claudia with a Sit-Out Powerbomb on the back of her neck which turned out to be even more effective than the standard application!
However, the exhaustion had disoriented Starfire so much that she held on to the pin for what might be a five-count before realizing this match could not be won be pin-fall.
The color commentators quickly dubbed this move as this move as "Supernova" mostly because a few Starfire die-hards started chanting it aloud and it wasn’t long before the rest of the arena picked up on it.
Collapsing onto her butt after the hellacious sheer-drop Powerbomb, Estrina scooted away from the wrecked redhead and got to her feet. Then she looked to Al. “Count her down, please.”
She needn’t have wasted the breath, Carpenter was already in place and tolling off, “ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIVE… SIX… SEVEN… EIGHT… NINE--”
Rooney pushed to one knee, then let out a weary roar as she rose to her full height. Staggered by the force of her own escape, the former Trophy Wife sagged against the ropes, caught her breath, then straightened up. Eyes locked on Starfire as she worked the kinks out of her neck, she asked, “That all you got, sweaty?”
Starfire growled, wiped a hand across her midsection and ‘flicked’ a fine mist in her opponent’s direction. “That answer your question, bytch?”
Claudia pushed off the ropes, stomped over to the brunette and chested into her hard enough to rock Starfire back on her heels. “Mouth off to me one more time and I’ll drag your ugly face across every inch of this NNGGGHHH!”
Estrina stormed into the breach with a huge right hand that sent Claudia’s head snapping back in a cloud of burnished copper. Seeing an opportunity to avenge the lashing her girls suffered earlier, Starfire raised both hands high overhead and quickly brought them down in a single paddle that CRAAAACKED off Rooney’s décolletage! The crowd cheered while Claudia doubled over, so Estrina reeled her into a Front Facelock and would’ve spiked her with DDT if the Red Menace hadn’t dropped to one knee and started driving punches into her ribs! In no mood for resistance after the hell she’d been through already, Starfire bore down on the Facelock, raised her other arm and brought it THWHAPPING down across her opponent’s pale back half a dozen times.
“Punch me again and see what it gets you!”
Never one to bow to intimidation, Rooney slammed another fist into her attacker’s ribs and added an exclamation point with a heartless yank on her opponent’s waistband! Estrina shrieked in pain as the wedgie sawed into her, but she wasn’t about to let Claudia go without a fight, so she repaid like with like, the white clad brunette earning a yowl from her prey as she made that taut black lycra disappear. “LET GO!” Starfire demanded as she tugged her makeshift handle back n’ forth. “OR I’LL SPLIT YOU IN HALWHOAANO!”
Rooney gave up the wedgie as bade, but only to cinch her arms around the brunette’s waist. Hands locked tight, she bent her knees and took Estrina off her feet for what would’ve been a Northern Lights Suplex if the Celestial Stunner hadn’t kicked hard enough to return herself to the canvas. Grinning as she continued to grind her rival down with the pair of simple holds, Estrina taunted, “I don’t think so, witch! You want out? You’re gonna have to beg for mercy firOOOOOWWWW F*CK!”
Infuriated by her foe’s persistence, Claudia wormed a hand between Estrina’s thighs and clamped down with a vicious claw! Starfire actually tightened her coil on Rooney’s skull so she could use the other woman for support when she shifted her weight to one foot and drove half a dozen Kneelifts into the redhead’s chest. Then she broke the Facelock, straightened Claudia up and hopped just high enough to THWONK the point of her left knee into opposing chin!
CELESTIAL KNEE STRIKE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Z7EtUY2B4
She’d expected the Whist Warrior to go down on her ass after such a jaw-jacking strike, so imagine her dismay when Claudia reeled into the strands, bounced off and came back at a near run! Surprise and weariness slowed Starfire’s reflexes just enough that she wasn’t able to raise a guard before Rooney THWHACKED a stiff Forearm Smash into her mouth! Like the American before her, Estrina slogged across the canvas in a drunken backpedal, hit the ropes and charged back with an Elbow of her own. Only Claudia dropped to one knee, braced her hands against the brunette’s belly and launched her high into the air with a huge shove! Estrina windmilled her arms wildly, the Celestial Stunner trying to adjust in mid-air so she didn’t come down flat on her face. In this she was successful, in fact she would’ve landed on her feet without incident if the Silent Siren hadn’t reared back and damned near taken her head off with a second Elbow Smash! Estrina was knocked for a loop, landing hard on the back of her head and shoulders like she’d just been Powerbombed!
With Starfire folded up in a near jackknife, Claudia grabbed her prey’s ankles and rolled her backward so that Estrina somersaulted onto all fours. From there closed in, forced the Asian import’s head between her thighs, looped her arms around Starfire’s waist and dragged her to her feet. Taking the time to grrrrrrrrriiind her gams against Estrina’s ears, Rooney SMACKED her rival’s nearly bare glutes half a dozen times, then crooked her hands into claws and sloooooooooowly raked her nails up and down those defenseless curves!
Starfire squealed and swatted at Rooney’s knees, but the redhead ignored the resistance in favor of a few more passes with her claws. When that started to bore her she palmed Starfire’s glutes and squeezed hard, looking for all the world like a baker trying to tear off two exceptionally sturdy chunks of dough. Whimpering as she felt her muscles start to go numb, Estrina grunted, “Lemme go, you bytch. You can’t win this ooooohhhhh faaaaaaaahhhhhhk!”
Claudia curled her fists around the brunette’s waistband and proceeded to punish her with the single most hateful wedgie of Starfire’s vaunted career. “You want this to end?” Rooney was all dark eyes and gleaming smile as she wore the other woman down with her humiliating two-pronged attack. “Tap out on my ass. Tap right now or I’ll peel this nasty thing off and make you eat it.”
Estrina barked some muted defiance, alas, Rooney countered with her most emphatic tug yet and just like that her left hand swatted the Whist Warrior’s bunched buttocks. “Doesn’t mean anything, Claudia.” Al said from a safe distance. “She’s still standing and besides, submissions don’t count. You know that.”
“I do know that, Claudia agreed. And you’re wrong, Carpenter. That pathetic little display means everything!”
Content with the show of control, Claudia abruptly ended the wedgie and wrapped her arms around the Celestial Stunner’s waist. From there she dipped her knees and spun Starfire into a seat on her shoulders. The crowd pleaded with Estrina to escape but it was not to be. She only sat there, slumped and worn out as Rooney stepped to the edge of the squared circle and bounced her down across the rubber-coated steel. The springiness of the cable bounced her back to start and then some, giving Claudia all the momentum she needed to spin around and sit out in a thunderous Powerbomb that THAWHAMMED Estrina to the deck full force!
SLINGSHOT SIT-OUT POWERBOMB:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdSc3p3xBBs
The Silent Siren got to her feet when the ring was still shivering, but she waved Carpenter off when he tried to start the count. “Not yet.” she said. “I’m not quite finished with her.” With Starfire in no condition to stop her, Claudia grabbed her at wrist and ankle and dragged her around so the newcomer was stretched out parallel to the ropes. Once the positioning was good, Rooney dropped the captive limbs and vaulted over the ropes to land on the apron. Back to the audience, Claudia waggled her hips to amp up the noise, not that the din stopped her from whistling a few bars of ‘Another One Bites the Dust’. Then she leapt onto the top rope, disappeared into the lights and buzzsawed her way through 450 degrees before gravity and bad intentions brought her THWWHAMMING down atop Estrina’s upturned knees!
Practically launched off her foe by the gut churning collision, Claudia landed on her side and curled into a ball while Estrina rolled in the opposite direction and tended to her own aches. Positioned between them both, Algernon Carpenter took a deep breath and started to count.
Estrina held on to her injured leg as she dragged her body toward the nearest ropes. Meanwhile, Claudia wrapped her arms around her midsection, hissing in pain. The count went on till “SIX” and it was Estrina who got up onto her feet with the help of the ropes while Claudia was still struggling mid-way. Knowing that Claudia was likely to survive the count, the Celestial Stunner limped as briskly as she could toward Claudia and reeled her into a Front Facelock, hooked onto a single leg and hauled The Silent Siren over with a Fisherman’s Suplex! Claudia went up into the air like a fresh catch before landing hard on the deck of the ring!
Dog-tired, Estrina rolled onto her side then her knees as the ref started counting.
“No..” Estrina told Al with a tug on his pants. Estrina planned to prolong her beatdown for both good measure and payback.
“You ain’t stopping the future champ Claudia! Not tonight!” Estrina growled and pushed Claudia into the corner as she backpedaled to the opposing corner for some distance and accelerated towards Claudia with a Meteora!
METEORA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNyI7z7hsZs
She limped for a bit as she pulled Claudia out by the arm and whipped her to the opposite corner and hopped onto Claudia’s shoulders. Trapping her head between her thighs, Estrina back-flipped and threw The Silent Siren out of the corner with a Hurricanrana!
HURRICANRANA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqc_ogaWBcI
Claudia rolled into a kneeling position but was quickly pulled as the Celestial Stunner continued to build momentum. The Red Menace turned around as Estrina grabbed hold of her head when suddenly…
“ARGHHHHHHH…..” Estrina grunted as Claudia cheaply sank a fist between Estrina’s legs, bringing her momentum to a cold halt. Waves of jeering began echoing in the arena.
Barely standing on her wobbly legs, Claudia put one of her arms around Estrina’s waist, another on her butt and lifted the Asian Battler onto her shoulders and dropped her crotch first onto the ropes!
“Is this turning you on, sweaty?” Claudia teased and rocked the ropes up and down, causing Estrina to moan and yelp before she fell off the rope and out of the ring. Al quickly followed her out of the ring and count as she crawled along the ringside.
“ONE! TWO! THREE! FOU—“
Al was suddenly shoved aside by Claudia as she raised her leg overhead and slammed her heel on the back of Estrina’s head!
AXE KICK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuQCJro27LY
Estrina cowered her head behind both hands as Carpenter began to count. Claudia gloatingly turned toward the crowd and raised her fingers in time with Al’s toll.
“ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE---“
Estrina began to make her way towards the ring apron and slowly placed her hands on the apron to pull herself up, making it to her feet at the count of ‘NINE’.
Claudia turned around and looked on frustrated. She immediately moved in and landed her fists on Estrina’s face accompanied by occasional head slams into the mat, finally ending with DDT onto the concrete floor.
“Count her! Count her! NOW!” Claudia instructed Al.
“ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NIN---“
Estrina got up at “NINE” once more! Claudia looked on in shock, unnerved by The Awesome Asian’s undying resilience. She quickly cocked her right arm backward and rushed in for a Clothesline. Estrina ducked under her heavy arm and behind her in a nick of time. In one fluid motion, Estrina’s left arm went above and under Claudia’s left biceps and looped her right arm around Claudia’s head. It was too late when she realized she was about to be trapped in a disgusting hold she ‘taught’ Estrina herself. Her mouth and nose was soon pushed snug against Starfire’s armpit!
Estrina continued to wrap her legs around Claudia’s waist in a Bodyscissors and brought her opponent to the ground, squeezing air out of her torso.
“MMMMMPPPMMMMFFF” Claudia frantically tapped Estrina’s arm as Estrina ground her stubble pits up-and-down Claudia’s face, not to mention the salty taste of Estrina’s heavily sweated pit. The hold was simply too embarrassing and disgusting even by Claudia’s standards, the ironic creator of the hold.
Estrina tightened the hold by clasping her hands behind Claudia’s back in a tight S-grip. “Welcome to the Pit of Stafire!” Estrina screamed as Claudia continued to claw and struggl for an escape.
Their roles reversed as Claudia’s struggles began to slow to a stop and her eyes began to flutter.
“Yes…you pit sniffer…sniff it all in…” Estrina teased with reference to the remarks used on her after her loss to Anna Sharpe. Claudia’s eyes rolled back before finally went limp in her clutches.
Slowly, Estrina unlocked the hold and got up to her feet, hands on knees. As Al started to count, Estrina waved her hand “no” before standing straight up. She let out a faint smile and goofily lifted her right arm and “sniffed” her pit.
“Fresh!” she tiredly winked at the crowd, earning some laughter among the FAWNatics and certainly boosted her popularity. Shortly after the taunt, her hands went under Claudia’s armpits and dragged her seemingly-lifeless body onto the ladder from earlier and slid back into the ring. She tied her hair back into a ponytail and ascended the turnbuckle, slowly standing up from a squatted position while keeping her balance.
“This is 2.0!” Estrina shouted before leaping off into a cartwheel out of the ring!
ECSTASY SPLASH 2.0:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkxWm2Uvqc4
THUD! *rattles*
Claudia’s body bounced into a slight ‘V’ as the Splash connected. Estrina stood up with arms folding over her midsection in pain, the hurt no doubt due to the height at which the move was executed. There was no doubt, at this point however, that Claudia was staying down for good. In fact, anything done after the Pit Smother was overkill.
“Count her Al!” Estrina slid back into the centre of the ring and kneeled as Al proceeded to count.
The arena filled with echoes as the FAWNatics counted along the ref,
“ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!”
DING! DING! DING!
“Ladies and gentlemen, your winner via knockout and the Last Woman Standing… ESTRINNAAAAAA STAAAAAARFIREEEE!”
“YES!” Estrina celebrated as the spotlight shone on her battle-weary body. Aches began to surface as the adrenaline from the match wore off and Al needed to help the exhausted Estrina to her feet where he raised her arm.
She was still celebrating with the wreckage of Claudia Rooney laid out behind her when the ‘Mania coverage cut away to a video package for the next match.
MOUNTAIN SONG:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3j3mIXASfw
“Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for thirty minutes and is a Last Woman Standing Match! That means there are no pin-falls, no submissions, no count outs and no disqualifications! The match will only end when one woman can not answer the ten count administered by the referee. Introducing first, hailing from Singapore, she stands at five feet four inches tall and weighs in tonight at one hundred and eighteen pounds. She is the Celestial Stunner… ESTRINA STARFIRE!”
ESTRINA STARFIRE:
The lights shone brightly at the curtain revealing the silhouette of Starfire, stirring the fans to cheer as loud as they could. A cannonade of pyrotechnics soared into the air and Estrina stepped out of the smoke dispersed to reveal special entrance attire for Fawnamania. To celebrate her first anniversary in the promotion as well as her triumphant return, she had worked with the backstage crew to design an epic entrance for the event. She’d donned a red star-shaped mask and was clad in an elaborate sleeveless ring robe which glittered under the spotlights.
More Pyro went off beside her with each step she took down the ramp. She slowly climbed the steel steps and walked along the apron to the center, pointing a jaunty finger into the air to rally the crowd before entering the ring over the middle rope. She slowly undid her robe as she ascended the turnbuckle and removed both mask and robe at the same time, throwing them into lucky front row spectators. She paused for a moment and spread her arms widely into a “T” to pose, before treating them to a smile and wink.
The arena lights switched back on as she leapt back onto the ring, stretching herself as she waited for her opponent for the night.
With Estrina basking in the adulation of her first ‘Mania crowd, the Announcer called, “And introducing her opponent, hailing from New Haven Connecticut, she stands at five feet three inches tall and weighs in tonight at one hundred and fourteen pounds. Ladies and gentlemen she is the Red Menace… CLAUDIA ROONEY!”
CLAUDIA ROONEY:
A raucous round of jeers flooded the arena as the lights went dark and the speakers started ticking away. The clock soon faded to a keening guitar riff which in turn raised the house lights in crimson. Piercing this arterial vale was a single white spot trained on the stage, the only accompaniment to Red Light King’s ’Bullet In My Hand’.
I've got a fast life and a slow cuttin' knife
I've been drinkin' at a poisoned well.
No home and a bag of bones
And nothin' else left to sell.
I know why I'm in this hell
I just don't wanna believe.
Past that line you just can't tell
But right now
There's someone lookin' out for me!
Emerging from the dark of backstage in silence, Claudia Rooney raised an index finger to her lips, then put her hands together and ‘snapped’ an invisible stick over her knee, no doubt a reminder of what she had already done to the woman in the squared circle. The crowd didn’t like it much, not that Claudia gave a damn, she was just happy for the opportunity to embarrass an oxygen waster like Starfire on a stage this grand.
For tonight’s trouncing the Red Menace wore a sturdy black two-piece with hot pink flames airbrushed on the top and across the seat. The fiery scheme carried over to her pads and boots as both were a matching red, a perfect complement for the chunky bands adorning each wrist. Making a hard left when she reached the foot of the aisle, Claudia stamped up the steps and hopped onto the turnbuckles. It was from this perch that she spread her arms wide, urging the crowd to listen up as Mark Kasprzyk howled ‘I can’t see the light’.
Jumping from corner to floor as the lights returned to normal, Claudia stomped to center ring and beckoned Estrina to join her. Starfire did, the white-clad import chesting in on the hated redhead mere seconds after the challenge was issued. Certain that it was pointless to bother keeping them apart, Al Carpenter stood between the warring wrestlers and urged them for calm while he went through last minute inspections and instructions.
Practically nose to nose when the bell CLANGED, Claudia kicked things off on a properly mean-spirited note when she put one hand against the side of Estrina’s face and gave her a hard shove. “Walk away while you still can, loser.” the redhead suggested as Starfire backpedaled a few steps. “Or don’t. I’ve always wanted to see a bytch flown out of this place by helicoptNNNGGGGGHHHH!”
Estrina roared in and went low, driving a shoulder into Rooney’s belly while simultaneously hooking her behind the knees! Neither a Spear or a Double Leg Takedown, this energetic hybrid drove the Red Menace to the deck with a loud THWHUMP and set Starfire up in a near perfect mount. Filling one hand with her rival’s coppery locks, the Celestial Stunner balled her other hand into a fist and set to work pwak-pwak-PWAKING at Claudia’s forehead!
“YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE GETTING CARTED OUT OF HERE TONIGHT, SWEETIE!” she bellowed over the pugilistic accompaniment. “AND IF YOU DON’T STAY DOWN, YOU’RE GONNA NEED A WHOLE WING OF THE HOSPITAL ALL TO YOURSELF!”
Covered up behind a hasty guard she’d raised halfway through the brunette’s rant, Claudia almost demanded the ref address the closed hands before she remembered it was all perfectly legal. With that in mind she waited for Starfire to stop throwing hands, then reached up and--THWHUNK! Estrina snatched a double handful of Claudia’s hair, yanked her head off the mat, then bounced it like a basketball. Going right back to the hair-hold, Starfire got to her feet and forced the black-clad battler to do the same. Once upright the hair-hold gave way to a Wristlock, which in turn powered the Irish Whip that flung Rooney across the squared circle on a sharp diagonal.
Far slower to react than usual, Claudia still managed an abrupt half turn before she reached the corner, not that the switch ultimately did much good, as a rampaging Estrina was right there to THWHACK a huge Forearm Smash across her jaw! That in conjunction with the BWUUUNG of back-on-buckle was enough to loosen Rooney’s knees, but she’d barely started to slouch when Starfire caught her under the armpits.
“I don’t think so, honey.” the Asian import taunted as she muscled Claudia back up and stuffed her against the buckles. “You’re not getting counted down until I’m good and ready!” The Whist Warrior had no answer for that, so Estrina mounted the second rope and laid claim to Rooney’s hair for the second time in as many minutes. “I wonder what’ll burn brighter,” Starfire pulled a fist back, drawing a bead on her prey’s forehead. “The overhead lights or the ones exploding behind your eyes?”
She brought her punchin’ hand down once, then twice and that was more than enough to set the FAWNatics to tracking the tally. ‘THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NI--’
Disappointment from all corners when Claudia braced both hands against Starfire’s tummy and shoved her clear of the corner with the count unfinished. Of course those bad feelings vanished when Starfire raced in, took to the skies and THWUMPED both knees into Claudia’s vulnerable chest! Rooney ‘OOOFFFHED!’ and dropped to her butt with no protest from Starfire. That was probably because the Celestial Stunner had already made her way to center ring for an equally swift return. The second set of Double Knees slammed into the redhead’s shoulders, the force of it just driving the bottom buckle between her shoulders.
DOUBLE KNEES IN CORNER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=akZmqqiLauM
Al took a step forward, thinking Estrina might call for a count, but she’d only bent over to twine her fingers in Claudia’s hair. “Up, bytch.” she ordered. “I said on your feet!” Another savage yank got a shout from Rooney but it also got Starfire what she wanted, a fair trade as far as the brunette was concerned. Taking a step back to admire her handiwork, Estrina paused, apparently remembering something crucial. “Oh, you dropped this earlier.”
CRAAACK! She pasted Claudia across the cheek with a Bytch Slap that more than answered the earlier Pie Face.
Deciding it was time to do some work away from the corners, Estrina felt it only proper to leave in style, so she yanked Rooney’s noggin down into a Front Facelock and marched her out just far enough to switch positions. “Been waiting for this a long time, Claudia.” Starfire admitted as she climbed the ropes to take a seat on the top turnbuckle. “I had plenty of time in rehab to think about exactly what I was going to do to you, and now that I’ve finally got the chance I don’t think you’ll endure a fraction of it! Still, no reason not to try!”
With the Silent Siren’s head snugged tight against her hip, Estrina braced both feet against the middle buckle and pushed off into a wide, looping circle that would’ve spiked Claudia’s skull into the mat if Rooney hadn’t wrapped both arms around her waist and rose to her full height. With their bodies forming a large capital ‘T’, Claudia kept right on turning until she was able to drop Estrina back where she’d started. Frowning in the wake of the thwarted DDT, Estrina pounded a few Overhand Forearm Smashes against the redhead’s back only to have Rooney answer back with half a dozen punches to the brunette’s ribs.
To make matters worse, Claudia grabbed hold of her scant briefs and YAAAAAAAAAAAANKED them as hard as she could! Starfire wailed and let go, the Facelock completely forgotten as she tried to deal with the wedgie. Didn’t have to endure it long thankfully, as Rooney let go after less than five seconds. Sighing with relief, Estrina reached back to tend to her togs and in doing so offered up her chin, which Claudia claimed for her own with a savage Super Kick! The brunette’s head snapped back, then she slumped forward, Starfire managing to grab hold of the top rope to keep herself as steady as possible after the brain-rattling strike. Taking a second to catch her breath following her opponent’s quick start, Claudia cleared off a ways, then raced into the corner and sprang onto the top rope to Estrina’s left. There was a loud THWHACK followed by groans from the crowd as the Enzugiri caromed off the side of Starfire’s skull.
TOP ROPE ENZUGIRI:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwykiKMKlUw
Forearms limp on her thighs, Estrina groaned and shook her head, working hard to clear the cobwebs before-- cries of shock and surprise from the FAWNatics when Rooney rushed in and treated the brunette to a single violent shove that sent Starfire tumbling from her perch all the way to floor almost twelve feet below! Crowded against the ropes almost at once, Al Carpenter waited long enough to make sure Estrina was in fact moving, then raised a hand over his head and shouted, “ONE… TWO… THREE…”
“C’mon bytch, get up!” the Whist Warrior demanded of her sprawled adversary. “I thought you were going to make this challenging!”
“FOUR… FIVE…SI--”
Starfire rolled to her stomach, pushed to all fours, then grabbed a handful of apron and used it to haul herself to vertical--”OOOOOOWWWWW!”
Estrina wailed long and loud when Rooney strode over and casually stamped on her right hand! Backing away from the ring without thinking about it, Starfire stuck her aching hand beneath her left arm, meaning she was rather preoccupied when Claudia vaulted over the top rope in a wicked little corkscrew that brought her down atop her opponent’s chest full force! Rooney rolled away at once, popped to her feet and teased the crowd with a deep, theatrical bow.
SLINGSHOT CORKSCREW PLANCHA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6GP0I-MmTg
“What the hell are you still doing in there, Carpenter?” Claudia asked after she noticed the referee hovering near the ropes. “Get out here and count this piece of garbage out!”
“ONE…TWO…THREE…FOU—“
Estrina began to sit up as the count continued but was immediately dropped back to the ground as Rooney straddled her waist and repeatedly punched her in the face! Punch-drunk, Claudia immediately pulled Estrina back to her feet and slammed her head against the ring apron! Starfire’s eyes grew droopy with the repeated blows and she only kept herself steady by leaning on the apron. Claudia raked Estrina’s long silky hair backward, exposing her face just long enough to spit on her cheek!
“I beat you twice! What makes you think it woul---?” PAK!
Starfire sent an ear-deafening slap across Claudia’s face in response to the disrespectful gesture! Stunned after the brutal forehand, Claudia stumbled backward and walked right into a head-splitting Roundhouse!
ROUNDHOUSE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsDeYuH533A
Claudia’s eyes showed glassy as her body slumped to the ground with drool trailing her head in mid-air as she fell.
“COUNT THIS BYTCH OUT!” Estrina shouted.
“ONE…TWO…THREE…FOUR...”
Claudia slowly planted her palms against the ground and pushed herself up slightly while shaking her senses back to rights. She folded her legs in, then her ankle and pushed herself up with most of her effort coming from one leg. The count stopped at “SEVEN” as she as she got onto both feet but immediately stumbled against the announcer’s table.
“I was afraid you might be counted out just like that. I have so much more for you.” Estrina taunted as she grabbed Rooney by her hair and waistband and threw her into the ring. As Claudia rolled to a stop, parallel to the ring ropes, Estrina hopped onto the ring apron and firmly held on to the top rope. She leaned back and taunted the top rope with all her weight and rolled over the top rope, smashing her outstretched leg onto the chest of Claudia.
SLINGSHOT SOMERSAULT LEG DROP:[/b[
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VCBMZrp_BM
Claudia’s legs jounced up upon the impact but Estrina was not ready to let her be counted down just yet. She picked the Redhead up, placed once hand behind her head and one hand between her thighs. Claudia was scooped up and dropped right on the back of her head with a Michinoku Driver.
MICHINOKU DRIVER:

Rooney settled into a starfish after the crash landing so Al started counting.
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE…
The Whist Warrior rolled onto her side and grabbed the bottom rope, then the middle and finally the top hoist herself back to verticality.
The fiery Starfire was unwilling to grant Claudia any room to breathe. She quickly moved behind Claudia and wrapped her arms around the waist and hauled…
“UGHHHH” The Silent Siren held onto the top rope, thwarting Estrina’s attempt at a German Suplex. Estrina tried once more to pry her opponent out of the ropes but was yet again met with resistance. Seizing the opportunity, Claudia snapped a mule kick back between her opponent’s thighs!
“UGHHHHHHHH!” Estrina groaned and her knees buckled as Claudia’s heel ground into her nether regions.
“No disqualification, bytch!” Claudia smirked.
Two hands cupped behind Starfire’s head, The Red Menace pressed her head against the ropes and DRAAAGGGGGGGED it along the ropes, blistering her face with the rubber-coated steel.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Estrina shrieked as her eyes flared with pain. She covered her face and landed beside the ropes as she writhed with agony.
“Your face is sure burning bright and red now!” Claudia remarked cockily before pinball-ing from the opposite ropes and sent Estrina out of the ring with a running Dropkick to her exposed stomach!
The Celestial Stunner dropped onto the ringside with a loud THUD and groaned in pain as the Red Menace followed her out of the ring and gave her a few good stomps to the head for good measure.
The white-clad beauty rolled to elbows and knees, crawling in search of a support to pull herself up. Little did she know, Rooney had just ripped a cord out of the nearest FAWN camera and was stalking her with the makeshift garrote stretched taut in her hands. Flashing a sinister grin, the Whist Warrior wrapped the cable around Estrina’s neck and choked the life out of her!
“HUUUURGGEHH” Estrina gagged and heaved. Her hands frantically clawed Claudia’s arms and begged for a release but Claudia proceeded to press her knee into the back of her head, squeezing the tears out of her eyes. After half a minute, Estrina’s struggles slowed, her eyes began to flutter and her hands dropped to her sides. Satisfied, Rooney released the hold, allowing Estrina to fall flat on the ground for the count. The ref panicked and immediately came down to the ringside to check Estrina’s breathing. After confirming Estrina was safe, he began to count.
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEV---
Estrina regained her consciousness and began to ascend. It was a slow struggle but thankfully, she stood on her feet at the count of nine to keep herself in the match before falling back onto her butt.
“F*ck, you really want to retire early, don’t you?” Claudia muttered to herself before she began looking under the ring for something, something that could really break Estrina in half. After a moment she slid a ladder from underneath the ring and set it flat across the narrow ringside aisle, suspended by the apron on one side and the barricade on the other. Claudia lifted the flaccid Estrina and dragged her toward the side of the ladder before tucking Estrina’s head between her thighs in a Standing Headscissors.
“This is it, punk! Your career in FAWN ends here!” Rooney growled as she wrapped her arms around Estrina’s waist and attempted to deadlift her onto her shoulders. However, her legs began to flutter as soon as her feet left the ground, making it difficult for Rooney to pick her onto her shoulders. Estrina’s hand firmly grabbed Claudia’s hamstring as she attempted a second lift.
“EUUUGHRRRHHHH” Estrina hauled Claudia overhead and dropped her back first into the unforgiving steel ladder!
BACK BODY DROP:

“URGHHH!! FUUUUGRHH!! ARGHHHH!!!” Claudia’s body involuntarily spasmed as a tidal wave of pain ran through her spine. Her face was filled with anguish, her nose flared as she tried to breathe. Claudia had finally tasted the pain she put Estrina through unfortunately for her Starfire was not satisfied with letting matters rest there. The Celestial Stunner wrapped her left arm around Claudia’s head and pummeled her right fist into Claudia’s forehead once, twice and thrice, setting off the FAWNatics to track the punches once more!
“FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!”
“YEAHHHH!!!” Estrina came to a stop and threw her left fist into the air, signaling for the crowd to pause in anticipation. Smiling, the Celestial Stunner ran her hand down her armpit evoking a loud response from the crowd. The “TEN” finally came as Estrina slapped her right hand across Claudia’s face! The FAWNatics cheers didn’t end after the tenth count but only grew louder.
“YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING SPECIAL?” Estrina asked the crowd. Undoubtedly, the crowd shouted “YES!” in response.
“This is payback…” Estrina cooed into her nemesis’ ear as she firmly grabbed onto Claudia’s top.
“No…” Claudia pleaded but to no avail. Estrina stripped Claudia’s top off with one swift motion and threw it into the crowd, evoking immense cheering from the fans.
“You have no idea what I am capable of bytch! The night has just started!” Estrina growled as she went beneath the ladder Claudia was lying perpendicular to. The white-clad beauty folded Claudia’s leg into a “figure-four” and kept one hand on the hanging leg, while her other hand cupped onto Claudia’s chin.
“This is it!” Estrina whispered and BEEEEEEENNTTTT Claudia’s body over the ladder!
BOW AND ARROW:

“ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Claudia screamed in her torturous predicament and flared her free arms in the air with her bare breasts in full sight while Estrina’s feet slowly lifted off the ground, bending her back with all her weight. It didn’t take long before the Whist Warrior desperately screamed “I GIVE! I GIVE! LET ME GO!” to which Estrina replied, “NO SUBMISSIONS! REMEMBER?”
Rooney immediately shut up, the stretched redhead clearly more embarrassed by the useless surrender than her partially stripped condition. That was just fine by Estrina, she went right on reefing and wrenching at the trapped battler’s chin and ankles for another ten seconds before she raised her legs, braced both feet against the American’s backside and treated her to a disdainful shove. Too exhausted by her time on the ladder to muster much in the way of defense, Claudia hit the floor on her hip and shoulder, then slopped onto her tummy and didn’t move. Sliding her way out from under the ladder, Starfire put her hands on her hips and huffed, “Count her down!”
No need to tell Al twice, he moved over to Claudia and called out, “ONE… TWO…THREE… FOUR… FIVE… SIX… SEVEN…”
The Silent Siren pushed to all fours, grabbed hold of the apron and used it to haul herself to verticality, thus keeping herself in the match for a little while longer. Angry over the defiance but more than willing to continue the punishment, Starfire dipped under the ladder, came up beside her prey and grabbed a huge double handful of hair. Rooney cried out and fired an elbow into the brunette’s gut, unfortunately it didn’t stop the Celestial Stunner from yanking her up on tiptoe and THWHONKING her forehead into the apron! Claudia bounced up from the impact and reeled backward across the narrow aisle -- she might’ve plopped onto her butt if Starfire hadn’t stepped in beside her and hooked an arm across her shoulders.
Arranged side by side, Estrina threaded her near leg over Rooney’s, then leaned over and planted a taunting kiss on her cheek. “Like I told ya, baby. You don’t go down until I say you do!” With that she leaned forward, then whipped full reverse to BWAAANG the back of Claudia’s head and shoulders into the steel barricade! The force of it bruised some shins in the front row, but the FAWNatics were happy to endure for such an excellent view of the action.
BARRICADE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2-drYSXFk4
Adrenaline helped Estrina shake off the ache of her own impact and she was on her feet in the blink of an eye. Pausing just long enough to exchange high fives with a few of her supporters, the white-clad battler buried her hands in Rooney’s hair and dragged her back to boot-leather. “Kiss the floor, bytch.” Estrina hopped up and dropped to her knees, all the better to THWHUMP Claudia’s noggin against the thin blue mats with a no-frills Facebuster. Bounced over onto her back in the aftermath, Claudia was the perfect target for a count, but when Carpenter stepped up, Estrina waved him off. “Hold off for now. I’m not finished crushing her just yet.”
Al nodded in deferral and cleared out, giving the Celestial Stunner all the space she needed to climb onto the ladder bridge she’d created earlier.
Steady despite the awkward nature of her footing, Starfire raised both hands high and waggled her fingers, urging the crowd to get that much louder. Accompanied by the roar of their manmade thunder, Estrina leapt into the void, executed a perfect mid-air toe touch, then straightened out just in time to THWHAP the full weight of her near hundred and twenty pounds across Claudia’s fluttering midsection! The Frog Splash folded Rooney into a ‘V’, but hooking a leg was pointless, so Starfire swatted them aside and popped to her feet, the Eastern Import making sure to stamp on her foe’s belly as she strode by. “Count.” she told Al. “Let’s see if she’s got the guts to get up after that!”
Carpenter wasn’t about to comment on the Whist Warrior’s intestinal fortitude, even if she was currently splattered across the mat. Taking a careful position between his charges, he started to count. “ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FI--”
Surprise and a few grudging cheers from the ‘Mania crowd as Claudia hauled herself upright before the halfway point. Estrina shook her head in disgust, then turned around and jogged over to the steel steps down at the far end. Going from floor to steps to apron in approximately two seconds, Starfire drew a bed on the knock-kneed redhead and raced down the narrow ledge at a pace to rival Lily Burlingame. With Rooney barely vertical, Estrina took to the skies to divebomb down on her prey with a flawless Ecstasy Spla-NOOO! Claudia snatched the brunette out of the void and used Estrina’s own momentum to hurl herself into a flawless Standing Moonsault with Starfire strapped across her chest! The result was a brutal Power Slam, the white-clad lovely just CRUSHED between her foe and the floor!
MOONSAULT POWER SLAM:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL65G7XYV0E
Rocking back on her haunches after the explosive counter, Claudia raked a hand through her hair before slapping the brunette’s face. “That’s the thing about shooting stars,” the Silent Siren taunted her agonized opposition, “they always make the best craters.” She would’ve said more if Carpenter hadn’t moved in to start the count. “Not a chance, asshole.” Rooney chided after plunging her hands into Estrina’s hair. “I’m not even sort of done with this bytch yet.”
Al sighed but Claudia didn’t see it, she was too focused on peeling the white-clad wrestler off the deck. With Starfire in no condition to stop her, Claudia snuggled in against her prey’s left side, grabbed hold of her ankle and folded her leg so that Estrina’s heel was jammed against her butt. Then she slipped her head beneath the Asian’s left arm and slapped on a half Waistlock, everything she needed to hoist Starfire high into the air. The FAWNatics recognized the Shinbreaker at once, alas they didn’t grasp Rooney’s intent until she rushed down the aisle and BWAAAANGED Starfire’s folded leg down on the edge of the ladder!
Estrina wailed like a banshee, one hand flying to her abused limb, the other scrabbling at the ladder in hopes of staying upright. Claudia helped with the latter, at least in the short term. Turning the hobbled lovely around with an iron grasp on one shoulder, the Red Menace slung her left arm across Estrina’s chest while simultaneously dipping her head beneath the brunette’s left arm and cradling her damaged leg. Bearing down on all her hooks, Rooney got low and popped her hips to fling Starfire up, over and most importantly down, Estrina hitting the thinly-sheathed concrete with a sweaty SPLAT! Starfire hit full force, rolled onto her knees and immediately shrieked in pain as she put too much weight on the throbbing joint. She crumpled into a near fetal ball immediately thereafter, a tacit invitation for Al Carpenter to resume his duties.

“ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR--” Claudia strolled over and casually STOMPED the other woman’s back. “Dammit Claudia, if you hit her it resets the count!” the ref grumbled.
Rooney batted her eyes and smiled sweetly. “Oh, I know.” With that issue settled, Claudia bent down, curled her fingers around the thin white strap stretched across Estrina’s shoulders and ripped her top away with a violent little ‘snap!’ “Thought you could embarrass me, is that it?” the Silent Siren cooed as she tugged Estrina’s hands behind her back. “Little girl, you’re about to find out what happens to chicks who try to get famous at my expense.”
Estrina mumbled, tried to pull her hands loose, but Claudia kept ‘em under control as she used the shorn top to bind her adversary’s wrists together. With Starfire effectively down two arms and a leg, Rooney had no problem hauling her upright, though it took a bit more effort than usual to keep her there. Walking with an arm around Starfire’s shoulders like they were old friends and not mortal enemies, Claudia trudged over to the corner with the steel steps and promptly knocked them aside with a trio of well-placed kicks. Once they were out of the way she wrapped one arm around Starfire’s waist and braced her other hand against the Asian’s rump.
Groans of sympathy from those assembled when Claudia muscled Estrina up and THWHUMPED her crotch-first into the steel ring post! With her arms bound, Starfire was forced to lock her legs around the unforgiving steel to keep from dropping to the floor, which was exactly what Claudia wanted. Sliding under the bottom rope in a flash, she prized the brunette’s legs apart and pulled her groin into the post once, twice, three times! Holding an ankle in each hand, Rooney smirked and said, “Remember, submissions don’t count, skank.” She did a quick twist around Estrina’s left leg, dropped to her tush and laid Starfire’s left shin across her right leg, then hooked her own leg over the exposed ankle and squeeeeeeeeeeeezed down on the Figure Four!
“AAAAAAWWWWWW GAAAAAAHHHHD, STAAAAAAAAAAHHHHP!” Estrina screamed to life as Claudia tried to snap her leg. In the ring, Rooney planted her hands against the mat and lifted her butt into the air, adding that much more pressure to the already devastating hold.
"Ahhhhhh! No! No! STAHPPP!" Estrina shook her head and sobbed as the pressure mounted on the recently damaged leg. Her head slowly grew heavy with the blood rushing to her head. She tried bringing her body parallel to the ground with her recently strengthened core to at least relieve the pressure from the leg lock but the pain proved too much for her newfound strength to bear as she immediately went back hanging off the ring post. Like a melting candle, a pool of sweat collected beneath where she was hanging, this was clearly beyond any matches she has wrestled. Her painful screams slowly softened into pitiful moaning as the hold persisted.
It was more than a minute before Claudia decided she’d done enough damage to relinquish the hold. Without her hands to break the fall, Estrina fell right on her noggin with a THUD. Her neck twisted in a sickly angle as she landed, raising concerns through the crowd. Al quickly raced down to the ringside and started counting.
"ONE! TWO-"
A sigh of relief was heard from the crowd as the white-clad lovely began to crawl with the limited use of her limbs towards the barricade.
"THREE! FOUR! FI--"
The Whist Warrior followed her the ringside and pulled out a leather strap from under the ring while Estrina dragged herself up with the help of the barricade and rested with her back against the barricade. Rooney smiled deviously and pulled the strap taut as she closed in on Starfire. Rooney teased the white-clad lovely by caressing her small, perky breasts before she swung the leather strap and SMAACKED her bare chest, causing Estrina to yelp and cover up as best she could with her bound hands. Claudia prized her arms away, and dealt the twice and thrice, earning Estrina's puppy-like yelp with each blow.
"DAMN, that looks like it HURTS, girl!” Claudia teased as she patted her foe’s welted rack before sending Estrina over the barricade with an impactful Clothesline.
Security immediately jumped into the crowd to make way for the brawl. Limping on one leg and defenseless, the white-clad lovely quickly came under a barrage of punches to her face, causing her to stumble back deeper into the crowd and up a flight of stairs.
Claudia then tucked Estrina's head into her armpit and hauled her over with a Snap Suplex! Estrina's body bounced slightly off the ground before coming to a still.
"This is the end, bytch! Maybe you can still get work back at whatever shythole you crawled out of.” Claudia grabbed her stunned opponent by her cheek and snarled. She steadily climbed up progressively larger loudspeakers until she was six feet of the ground.
"Your career ends here!" Claudia, with her arms outstretched, leapt into the air and executed a flawless 450 spin and ...
"OHHHHHHHHHHH!" The crowd echoed out loud as Claudia landed hard into the concrete ground, body bouncing off the ground and flipped face up in a spread eagle.
The crowd cheered loudly as their favorite white-clad lovely rolled away in the nick of time.
Seeing both wrestlers down, Al immediately started the count for both of them.
"ONE! TWO! THREE--"
Estrina quickly got onto her belly and asked the fans to untie her hands. At the same time, Claudia was beginning to crawl her way but the brunette’s hands were freed just in time to nail a back elbow in Claudia's face, knocking her off her back.
Estrina looked at her hands at squeezed several times to get blood flowing again before she tiredly picked Claudia off the ground.
Claudia shoved Estrina's arms away and nailed a punch to the cheek of her attacker. Starfire’s head snapped violently to the right with a cloud of sweat billowing out behind. But Estrina was quick to return the favor. The two continued to trade punches in the crowd till even those closest lost count until Estrina finally sent her rolling down the flight of stairs with a Dropkick to her chest.
THUD! Claudia came to a stop as she crashed into the barricade. Estrina soon followed with her right hand over her waist, panting and staggering as she climbed down the stairs. Finally back at the base of the stairs, the Celestial Stunner picked and pressed Claudia on the barricade and sent her back to the ringside with her own neck-snapping Clothesline. Her body flipped backwards and over, coming to a stop on all fours.
But The Celestial Stunner was unable to keep up with the momentum, falling onto kneeling on one knee with one arm on the barricade for support. Body bruised, and leg hurting, the Celestial Stunner was basically surviving this match on borrowed time from her career lifespan. Sufficiently rested, Estrina slowly make her move over the barricade one leg at a time starting with a right leg when suddenly...
SMACK!!!
DEARLY DEPARTED:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYjOPbwDpsA
The Whist Warrior quickly got up and delivered a Dearly Departed gift to Estrina before collapsing back to all fours. Estrina's body went limp immediately and fell off the barricade like Humpty Dumpty off the wall.
"ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIG---"
To the delightful surprise of the FAWNatics, The Celestial Stunner got onto her feet first before Claudia evoking loud cheers from the crowd.
Estrina picked Claudia by her hair and waistband and threw her under the bottom rope.
Limping on one leg, Estrina sluggishly slid back into the ring but was quickly interrupted when an equally exhausted Rooney dove forward and threw a hammer fist to the back of Estrina's head, weak but enough to nail her down for a brief moment.
"ONE!"
The two deadly nemeses soon began ascending together.
"TWO!"
Starting from hands and knees, they crawled toward each other and clinched like exhausted boxers.
Depending on each other for support, they slowly struggled to verticality and stopped the count. Still locked in a clinch, Claudia surged forward hard and pushed Estrina back against the ropes. Their sweaty bodies stuck to each other breast-to-breast, cheek-to-cheek like Velcro. Starfire raked back Claudia's sweat-matted copper hair and smacked that bytch with a Headbutt! Claudia backpedalled a few steps and kept herself from falling with hands on her knees.
Seeing the opportunity, the Celestial Stunner quickly lunged forward and tucked Claudia's head between her warm sweaty thighs.
"Thanks to you...*pants*...I have learned...*pants*...how effective this is!" Estrina stuttered and wrapped her arms around Claudia's waist. She took a deep breath and hauled Claudia's body upwards but struggled mid-way drop through the attempted Powerbomb. Even though Claudia was light, the damage Starfire's leg had sustained through the match was too much to completely haul her opponent onto her shoulders. Her face grimaced and flushed as she held Claudia in a mid-Powerbomb lift for three, maybe four seconds before she finally gives up and dropped Claudia with a Sit-Out Powerbomb on the back of her neck which turned out to be even more effective than the standard application!
However, the exhaustion had disoriented Starfire so much that she held on to the pin for what might be a five-count before realizing this match could not be won be pin-fall.
The color commentators quickly dubbed this move as this move as "Supernova" mostly because a few Starfire die-hards started chanting it aloud and it wasn’t long before the rest of the arena picked up on it.
Collapsing onto her butt after the hellacious sheer-drop Powerbomb, Estrina scooted away from the wrecked redhead and got to her feet. Then she looked to Al. “Count her down, please.”
She needn’t have wasted the breath, Carpenter was already in place and tolling off, “ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIVE… SIX… SEVEN… EIGHT… NINE--”
Rooney pushed to one knee, then let out a weary roar as she rose to her full height. Staggered by the force of her own escape, the former Trophy Wife sagged against the ropes, caught her breath, then straightened up. Eyes locked on Starfire as she worked the kinks out of her neck, she asked, “That all you got, sweaty?”
Starfire growled, wiped a hand across her midsection and ‘flicked’ a fine mist in her opponent’s direction. “That answer your question, bytch?”
Claudia pushed off the ropes, stomped over to the brunette and chested into her hard enough to rock Starfire back on her heels. “Mouth off to me one more time and I’ll drag your ugly face across every inch of this NNGGGHHH!”
Estrina stormed into the breach with a huge right hand that sent Claudia’s head snapping back in a cloud of burnished copper. Seeing an opportunity to avenge the lashing her girls suffered earlier, Starfire raised both hands high overhead and quickly brought them down in a single paddle that CRAAAACKED off Rooney’s décolletage! The crowd cheered while Claudia doubled over, so Estrina reeled her into a Front Facelock and would’ve spiked her with DDT if the Red Menace hadn’t dropped to one knee and started driving punches into her ribs! In no mood for resistance after the hell she’d been through already, Starfire bore down on the Facelock, raised her other arm and brought it THWHAPPING down across her opponent’s pale back half a dozen times.
“Punch me again and see what it gets you!”
Never one to bow to intimidation, Rooney slammed another fist into her attacker’s ribs and added an exclamation point with a heartless yank on her opponent’s waistband! Estrina shrieked in pain as the wedgie sawed into her, but she wasn’t about to let Claudia go without a fight, so she repaid like with like, the white clad brunette earning a yowl from her prey as she made that taut black lycra disappear. “LET GO!” Starfire demanded as she tugged her makeshift handle back n’ forth. “OR I’LL SPLIT YOU IN HALWHOAANO!”
Rooney gave up the wedgie as bade, but only to cinch her arms around the brunette’s waist. Hands locked tight, she bent her knees and took Estrina off her feet for what would’ve been a Northern Lights Suplex if the Celestial Stunner hadn’t kicked hard enough to return herself to the canvas. Grinning as she continued to grind her rival down with the pair of simple holds, Estrina taunted, “I don’t think so, witch! You want out? You’re gonna have to beg for mercy firOOOOOWWWW F*CK!”
Infuriated by her foe’s persistence, Claudia wormed a hand between Estrina’s thighs and clamped down with a vicious claw! Starfire actually tightened her coil on Rooney’s skull so she could use the other woman for support when she shifted her weight to one foot and drove half a dozen Kneelifts into the redhead’s chest. Then she broke the Facelock, straightened Claudia up and hopped just high enough to THWONK the point of her left knee into opposing chin!
CELESTIAL KNEE STRIKE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Z7EtUY2B4
She’d expected the Whist Warrior to go down on her ass after such a jaw-jacking strike, so imagine her dismay when Claudia reeled into the strands, bounced off and came back at a near run! Surprise and weariness slowed Starfire’s reflexes just enough that she wasn’t able to raise a guard before Rooney THWHACKED a stiff Forearm Smash into her mouth! Like the American before her, Estrina slogged across the canvas in a drunken backpedal, hit the ropes and charged back with an Elbow of her own. Only Claudia dropped to one knee, braced her hands against the brunette’s belly and launched her high into the air with a huge shove! Estrina windmilled her arms wildly, the Celestial Stunner trying to adjust in mid-air so she didn’t come down flat on her face. In this she was successful, in fact she would’ve landed on her feet without incident if the Silent Siren hadn’t reared back and damned near taken her head off with a second Elbow Smash! Estrina was knocked for a loop, landing hard on the back of her head and shoulders like she’d just been Powerbombed!
With Starfire folded up in a near jackknife, Claudia grabbed her prey’s ankles and rolled her backward so that Estrina somersaulted onto all fours. From there closed in, forced the Asian import’s head between her thighs, looped her arms around Starfire’s waist and dragged her to her feet. Taking the time to grrrrrrrrriiind her gams against Estrina’s ears, Rooney SMACKED her rival’s nearly bare glutes half a dozen times, then crooked her hands into claws and sloooooooooowly raked her nails up and down those defenseless curves!
Starfire squealed and swatted at Rooney’s knees, but the redhead ignored the resistance in favor of a few more passes with her claws. When that started to bore her she palmed Starfire’s glutes and squeezed hard, looking for all the world like a baker trying to tear off two exceptionally sturdy chunks of dough. Whimpering as she felt her muscles start to go numb, Estrina grunted, “Lemme go, you bytch. You can’t win this ooooohhhhh faaaaaaaahhhhhhk!”
Claudia curled her fists around the brunette’s waistband and proceeded to punish her with the single most hateful wedgie of Starfire’s vaunted career. “You want this to end?” Rooney was all dark eyes and gleaming smile as she wore the other woman down with her humiliating two-pronged attack. “Tap out on my ass. Tap right now or I’ll peel this nasty thing off and make you eat it.”
Estrina barked some muted defiance, alas, Rooney countered with her most emphatic tug yet and just like that her left hand swatted the Whist Warrior’s bunched buttocks. “Doesn’t mean anything, Claudia.” Al said from a safe distance. “She’s still standing and besides, submissions don’t count. You know that.”
“I do know that, Claudia agreed. And you’re wrong, Carpenter. That pathetic little display means everything!”
Content with the show of control, Claudia abruptly ended the wedgie and wrapped her arms around the Celestial Stunner’s waist. From there she dipped her knees and spun Starfire into a seat on her shoulders. The crowd pleaded with Estrina to escape but it was not to be. She only sat there, slumped and worn out as Rooney stepped to the edge of the squared circle and bounced her down across the rubber-coated steel. The springiness of the cable bounced her back to start and then some, giving Claudia all the momentum she needed to spin around and sit out in a thunderous Powerbomb that THAWHAMMED Estrina to the deck full force!
SLINGSHOT SIT-OUT POWERBOMB:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdSc3p3xBBs
The Silent Siren got to her feet when the ring was still shivering, but she waved Carpenter off when he tried to start the count. “Not yet.” she said. “I’m not quite finished with her.” With Starfire in no condition to stop her, Claudia grabbed her at wrist and ankle and dragged her around so the newcomer was stretched out parallel to the ropes. Once the positioning was good, Rooney dropped the captive limbs and vaulted over the ropes to land on the apron. Back to the audience, Claudia waggled her hips to amp up the noise, not that the din stopped her from whistling a few bars of ‘Another One Bites the Dust’. Then she leapt onto the top rope, disappeared into the lights and buzzsawed her way through 450 degrees before gravity and bad intentions brought her THWWHAMMING down atop Estrina’s upturned knees!
Practically launched off her foe by the gut churning collision, Claudia landed on her side and curled into a ball while Estrina rolled in the opposite direction and tended to her own aches. Positioned between them both, Algernon Carpenter took a deep breath and started to count.
Estrina held on to her injured leg as she dragged her body toward the nearest ropes. Meanwhile, Claudia wrapped her arms around her midsection, hissing in pain. The count went on till “SIX” and it was Estrina who got up onto her feet with the help of the ropes while Claudia was still struggling mid-way. Knowing that Claudia was likely to survive the count, the Celestial Stunner limped as briskly as she could toward Claudia and reeled her into a Front Facelock, hooked onto a single leg and hauled The Silent Siren over with a Fisherman’s Suplex! Claudia went up into the air like a fresh catch before landing hard on the deck of the ring!
Dog-tired, Estrina rolled onto her side then her knees as the ref started counting.
“No..” Estrina told Al with a tug on his pants. Estrina planned to prolong her beatdown for both good measure and payback.
“You ain’t stopping the future champ Claudia! Not tonight!” Estrina growled and pushed Claudia into the corner as she backpedaled to the opposing corner for some distance and accelerated towards Claudia with a Meteora!
METEORA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNyI7z7hsZs
She limped for a bit as she pulled Claudia out by the arm and whipped her to the opposite corner and hopped onto Claudia’s shoulders. Trapping her head between her thighs, Estrina back-flipped and threw The Silent Siren out of the corner with a Hurricanrana!
HURRICANRANA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqc_ogaWBcI
Claudia rolled into a kneeling position but was quickly pulled as the Celestial Stunner continued to build momentum. The Red Menace turned around as Estrina grabbed hold of her head when suddenly…
“ARGHHHHHHH…..” Estrina grunted as Claudia cheaply sank a fist between Estrina’s legs, bringing her momentum to a cold halt. Waves of jeering began echoing in the arena.
Barely standing on her wobbly legs, Claudia put one of her arms around Estrina’s waist, another on her butt and lifted the Asian Battler onto her shoulders and dropped her crotch first onto the ropes!
“Is this turning you on, sweaty?” Claudia teased and rocked the ropes up and down, causing Estrina to moan and yelp before she fell off the rope and out of the ring. Al quickly followed her out of the ring and count as she crawled along the ringside.
“ONE! TWO! THREE! FOU—“
Al was suddenly shoved aside by Claudia as she raised her leg overhead and slammed her heel on the back of Estrina’s head!
AXE KICK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuQCJro27LY
Estrina cowered her head behind both hands as Carpenter began to count. Claudia gloatingly turned toward the crowd and raised her fingers in time with Al’s toll.
“ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE---“
Estrina began to make her way towards the ring apron and slowly placed her hands on the apron to pull herself up, making it to her feet at the count of ‘NINE’.
Claudia turned around and looked on frustrated. She immediately moved in and landed her fists on Estrina’s face accompanied by occasional head slams into the mat, finally ending with DDT onto the concrete floor.
“Count her! Count her! NOW!” Claudia instructed Al.
“ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NIN---“
Estrina got up at “NINE” once more! Claudia looked on in shock, unnerved by The Awesome Asian’s undying resilience. She quickly cocked her right arm backward and rushed in for a Clothesline. Estrina ducked under her heavy arm and behind her in a nick of time. In one fluid motion, Estrina’s left arm went above and under Claudia’s left biceps and looped her right arm around Claudia’s head. It was too late when she realized she was about to be trapped in a disgusting hold she ‘taught’ Estrina herself. Her mouth and nose was soon pushed snug against Starfire’s armpit!
Estrina continued to wrap her legs around Claudia’s waist in a Bodyscissors and brought her opponent to the ground, squeezing air out of her torso.
“MMMMMPPPMMMMFFF” Claudia frantically tapped Estrina’s arm as Estrina ground her stubble pits up-and-down Claudia’s face, not to mention the salty taste of Estrina’s heavily sweated pit. The hold was simply too embarrassing and disgusting even by Claudia’s standards, the ironic creator of the hold.
Estrina tightened the hold by clasping her hands behind Claudia’s back in a tight S-grip. “Welcome to the Pit of Stafire!” Estrina screamed as Claudia continued to claw and struggl for an escape.
Their roles reversed as Claudia’s struggles began to slow to a stop and her eyes began to flutter.
“Yes…you pit sniffer…sniff it all in…” Estrina teased with reference to the remarks used on her after her loss to Anna Sharpe. Claudia’s eyes rolled back before finally went limp in her clutches.
Slowly, Estrina unlocked the hold and got up to her feet, hands on knees. As Al started to count, Estrina waved her hand “no” before standing straight up. She let out a faint smile and goofily lifted her right arm and “sniffed” her pit.
“Fresh!” she tiredly winked at the crowd, earning some laughter among the FAWNatics and certainly boosted her popularity. Shortly after the taunt, her hands went under Claudia’s armpits and dragged her seemingly-lifeless body onto the ladder from earlier and slid back into the ring. She tied her hair back into a ponytail and ascended the turnbuckle, slowly standing up from a squatted position while keeping her balance.
“This is 2.0!” Estrina shouted before leaping off into a cartwheel out of the ring!
ECSTASY SPLASH 2.0:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkxWm2Uvqc4
THUD! *rattles*
Claudia’s body bounced into a slight ‘V’ as the Splash connected. Estrina stood up with arms folding over her midsection in pain, the hurt no doubt due to the height at which the move was executed. There was no doubt, at this point however, that Claudia was staying down for good. In fact, anything done after the Pit Smother was overkill.
“Count her Al!” Estrina slid back into the centre of the ring and kneeled as Al proceeded to count.
The arena filled with echoes as the FAWNatics counted along the ref,
“ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!”
DING! DING! DING!
“Ladies and gentlemen, your winner via knockout and the Last Woman Standing… ESTRINNAAAAAA STAAAAAARFIREEEE!”
“YES!” Estrina celebrated as the spotlight shone on her battle-weary body. Aches began to surface as the adrenaline from the match wore off and Al needed to help the exhausted Estrina to her feet where he raised her arm.
She was still celebrating with the wreckage of Claudia Rooney laid out behind her when the ‘Mania coverage cut away to a video package for the next match.
