Queen’s Cup Preview

This Queen’s Cup Preview match is a match between friends. Even though Ramu has been around wrestlers all her life, LuFisto has been one of her mentors for the last 5 years or so. They both need this match as they head into the Queen’s Cup next week. They shake hands once they are both in the ring. The ref calls for the bell.

They lockup and LuFisto gets the early edge with her strength advantage. Ramu quickly counters LuFisto’s strength with her natural speed. They both manage to counter the other’s best moves. The fans are loving watching two wrestlers at the top of their game not reverting to cheap shots and illegal tactics.

Ramu’s speed seems to be wearing LuFisto down a bit as the match goes on but LuFisto manages to kick out from pin attempts and escape from submission attempts. LuFisto manages to get her second or third wind and take the action to Ramu. LuFisto whips Ramu into the corner then his her with a few bootscrapes across the face. LuFisto goes to the opposite corner then charges across and hits Ramu with a somersault cannonball. As soon as LuFisto gets up the bell rings.
This match is a time limit draw

Yoshiko gets introduced and comes to the ring with her usual blank expression. She leans back in a corner and waits. The fans boo as Britney is introduced and comes to the ring. She waves them on, inviting more boos. Suddenly the lights go out. Like two weeks ago, several bumps and thumps can be heard. When the lights come back on, Britney is laid out on the mat and a sombrero is over her face. Yoshiko is still in her corner, holding a Mexican flag.

She hands the belt to the ref and gets in Portia’s face. The ref separates them. The official introductions are made. The ref calls for the bell.

Io takes the opening and takes Portia down with an armdrag. Io holds onto Portia’s arm and drags her over a couple more times. Portia manages to grab a rope and force a break. She gets to her feet and angrily complains to the referee about the bite and some alleged hair and tights pulling. Io grabs her from behind and rolls her up for a two count. Portia complains about her tights being pulled again. Using herself to block the referee’s view, Portia low blows Io with a kick.

Io forces a break when she slips out to the floor. Io rolls in and out to break the count and get a new one. Portia starts complaining again. Io rolls in and rolls out as soon as Portia tries an elbow drop. Io waves for Portia to come out to the floor. Portia jumps out and Io slides back in.
