Women's Division Amateur Elimination Tournament First Round After you have read the story, please answer the 2 short questions at the end
As the popularity of the FFF wrestling federation continued to grow, the management decided to increase their efforts to bring the best female wrestling talent to their fans. As a result, they decided to seek out new potential wrestlers for each of their wrestling divisions and placed advertisements in numerous publications seeking interested women to try out for spots on their wrestling roster. The response was overwhelming, so auditions were held and the field of applicants whittled down to 6 women in each division who would compete for the right to become a professional FFF wrestler.
The 12 finalists were then brought in and run through a one week preparatory session since they each had varying levels of wrestling experience. Once the training concluded, the night of the Amateur Elimination Tournament arrived and each showed up at the FFF’s arena for their attempt to become a professional wrestler. The women were separated into 2 locker rooms; those under the age of 40 directed into the Women’s Division locker room while those over the age of 40 were directed into the Veteran’s Division locker room.
As each of the hopefuls walked into their respective locker rooms, they were surprised to find 4 of the active wrestlers in each room, dressed in their wrestling attire. Each of the amateurs reacted in varying ways; some were intimidated by the sight of the pros while others displayed a level of arrogance, smirking at them as they walked by. But the one common factor was that no one knew why they were there.
That mystery was also true of the pros, who had been directed to show up at the arena and be ready to wrestle, though they were told nothing further. No one had explained to them who they would be facing or if they would even be wrestling at all. They were simply told to show up and be prepared to wrestle, but nothing further. As a result, there was a great deal of consternation amongst them, and as they watched the amateurs enter their respective locker rooms, the pros were not exactly welcoming.
As a result of this, the tension was thick as each of the women went about their preparations. The amateurs already had the opportunity to get to know their competition from the week of training which had already taken place, but even still, there was clearly some posturing going on between them. But once everyone was suited up and ready to wrestle, the even got underway as the attention turned out into the arena. Two separate wrestling rings had been set up in the center, and as the announcer climbed up into one of them, the capacity crowd’s attention turned toward him. Just then the 8 pros were called from the locker room and escorted down to seats at ringside; the 4 Women’s Division wrestlers taking a front row seat below one of the rings while the 4 Veteran’s Division wrestlers sat beneath the other. Once they settled in, the announcer began to speak.
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to a unique event for our wrestling federation. We have searched high and low to find the best wrestling talent available, and tonight we present to you 12 women who will be vying for the opportunity to become professional wrestlers. But before I introduce them to you, let me first draw your attention to some …… let’s call them ….. interested parties. From our Women’s Division, seated in the first row of the ring to my left .... Please welcome .......... ADINA ........... BARBARA .......... ESTELA .......... and MOLLY!”
Each of them women stood and waved to the cheers of the crowed before the announcer resumed.
“And from our Veteran’s Division, let’s hear it for .......... THE BABE .......... BIG BAD BERTHA .......... COCOA .......... and MS. LIBERTY!”
Only 3 of the 4 acknowledged the cheers of the crowd with Bertha remaining seated with a scowl on her face as she took a drag of her cigarette. With the 8 pros now introduced, although their reason for being present still not revealed, the announcer then introduced the aspirant wrestlers.
““And now for our competitors. First off, vying for a spot in our Women’s Division ... she is 32 years of age, stands 5 foot 8 inches tall and weighs 125 pounds ... Please welcome ... ATHENA!”
As the crowd applauded, the fit and attractive Athena trotted briskly toward the ring. Wearing a red bikini with her long, black hair flowing as she ran, Athena smiled at the applause though her high level of intensity was obvious. As a fitness competitor, appearing in numerous Ms. Fitness contests, Athena was no stranger to large, cheering crowds and seemed very focused and unintimidated as she made her way up into the ring.
“Next ... At 25 years of age, standing 5 foot 6 inches tall and weighing 110 pounds ... Please welcome ...LOTUS!”
With the applause continuing, the jovial and pretty Lotus skipped carelessly toward the ring, stopping to greet the fans along the way. As the daughter of Veteran’s Division wrestler Samurai, Lotus was no stranger to the world of professional wrestling though her actual ring experience was minimal to this point. Unlike her mother; who had a very stern and purposeful demeanor; Lotus was much more a free spirit. She seemed to revel in the ovation she was given and her lighthearted attitude clearly irritated her mother, who was seated near the front of the arena. So as Lotus stopped to greet her mother on the way toward the ring, Samurai grabbed the sides of her daughter’s head, pulling it closer so that the two were eye to eye.
“CONCENTRATE!” Samurai barked at her daughter with a thick Japanese accent, though the daughter seemed to disregard the warning as she continued to skip to ringside.
Wearing a skimpy blue bikini with a coating of oil on her svelte figure, Lotus interacted playfully with the cheering crowd as she made her way around the ring, stopping to greet Athena, who reluctantly nodded back at her.
“Next ... at 26 years of age, standing 5 foot 5 inches tall and weighing 115 pounds ... Please welcome ... PEACHES!”
The comely, young woman began to jog down to ringside in her pink bikini, and as the crowd got sight of her, the cheers rose to the loudest level so far. With her short, dark brown hair, radiant smile and voluptuous bosom, it was obvious that Peaches was a fan favorite. She too was no stranger to cheering crowds, having worked as a foxy boxer and oil wrestler for the past couple of years. Though her wrestling experience was limited to the casualness of non-competitive skirmishes, Peaches nonetheless was confident and had obviously won over the fans, who continued to howl for her as she entered the ring.
“Next ... At 29 years of age, she stands 5 foot 7 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds ... Please welcome ... ROXY!”
The attractive blonde strode forward, walking with an air of arrogance as the crowd cheered, though more modestly than they had for her popular predecessor. With a pompous smirk on her pretty face, she ignored the fans as she stared up into the ring, trying to gain a psychological advantage. Upon entering the ring, she strut around the women with an air of superiority, not winning her any new friends amongst her competition as the spotlights twinkled off of her pink, glitter outfit. Roxy’s work ethic as a personal trainer had honed her body into incredible shape, and she was surely going to be a force to be reckoned with, as evidenced by her egotism.
“Next ... At 21 years of age, standing 5 foot 9 inches tall and weighing 155 pounds ... Please welcome ... RUBY!”
The typical applause rose from the audience, but as Ruby came into view, many of the fans were shocked by her appearance and the applause noticeably diminished. Unlike the conventional attractiveness of the 4 previous contestants, Ruby’s appearance was anything but conventional. Her long hair was styled in dreadlocks which were dyed a bright, orangey red and her face had several metal studs pierced into it. She wore a bright red, vinyl corset which tightly clenched her midsection, her large breasts draped in red fishnet with her nipples barely covered by 2 round patches of red material. Matching fishnet stockings swathed her legs with a pair of knee high, red vinyl boots finishing off her look.
Wearing a completely blank expression on her face, Ruby walked stiffly toward the ring, the crowd not sure what to make of her. As an art student, it was clear that Ruby was in the midst of an experimental stage in her life, and her emotionless demeanor only added to her mystique. As she climbed into the ring, the fans had stopped applauding altogether, most gawking at the unusual young woman. She strode stiffly to a spot against the side ropes and turned in toward the ring, her eyes staring straight ahead, oblivious to her surroundings.
“And finally, our last Women’s Division candidate ... At 24 years of age, standing 5 foot 10 inches tall and weighing 115 pounds ... Please welcome .... TAWNY ”!
Anxious to gaze upon a more traditional looking wrestler, the fan’s applauded loudly as the nimble Tawny trotted toward the ring. Wearing a skimpy, golden bikini, Tawny smiled widely, her chocolate colored skin glistening under the lights. As a former gymnast, Tawny’s body was long and lean, much to the delight of the fans who showered her with cheers. She thrived on the competition, coming very close to achieving national recognition as a gymnast before injuring her wrist which forced her to retire from the sport. As she climbed between the ropes and into the ring, she waved to the fans before taking her spot, the announcer then describing what was next for the 6 women.
“Now that you have met all 6 of our contestants, let me explain how this tournament will work. The first round will feature all 6 women in the ring, competing against each other in a 5 minute Battle Royale. Elimination occurs when a woman is tossed from the ring. After 5 minutes have passed, whomever is left in the ring will move onto the final round, which I will address at the conclusion of our first round. So let’s get to it!”
With that a huge ovation rose from the crowd as a referee stepped into the ring. As the 6 women prepared for the start of the fight however, Athena stepped forward, angrily pointing at Ruby as she turned to address the referee.
“Wait a minute. She’s gotta take that crap out of her face before we start!”
Pointing to the piercings which adorned Ruby’s face, Athena was adamant, and the ref complied. So he instructed Ruby to remove her piercings as the crowd hooted and hollered. With no emotion on her face, Ruby began reaching into her mouth, and one by one, removing her facial jewelry. She handed each to the ref, who looked traumatized as he held them all. Finally, with all of her jewelry now removed, Ruby turned to look at Athena, again with no emotion on her face. Athena glared back at her just as the bell rang to signal the start of the fight.
Not surprisingly, Athena went right at Ruby, who reached up to block the attack as the two women locked up. As they struggled however, Peaches snuck up behind the bright red Ruby and quickly locked her in a full nelson, coiling her arms around Ruby’s and trapping them out to her sides. With the young art student now tied up, Athena slammed a knee into her gut, doubling her over. But Peaches quickly pulled her erect, allowing Athena to slam her fist into Ruby’s gut, knocking her to her knees. Peaches remained behind the fallen redhead, and quickly grabbed hold of her wrists, pulling them behind her while planting her foot into Ruby’s back. With her back arched and her chest protruding forward, Ruby’s head dipped down in front of her as Athena lifted her leg and sent a vicious stomp into Ruby’s left breast.
“AAAWWWWW!” howled the avant-garde Ruby as she faltered forward, wrapping her arms around her battered bosom.
Meanwhile, Roxy had begun to target Lotus, charging at her. But the agile oriental girl dropped into a crouch before whirling quickly with one leg extended, taking Ruby’s legs out form under her and knocking her to the mat. But before Lotus could resume the attack, Tawny came up from behind her and slammed her elbow into Lotus’s back, knocking her to her knees. The former gymnast then stepped forward, wrapping her powerful legs around Lotus’ head and locking her in a headscissors before tumbling downward and onto her side. Lotus furiously slapped at the canvas as she lay on her side with her head squashed between Tawny’s legs.
Roxy meanwhile targeted Athena, and as soon as she had finished her stomp on Ruby’s chest, found herself being grabbed by the blonde in a chokehold from behind. Roxy tightened her grip, tugging Athena toward the side ropes as she continued to wedge her forearm tightly beneath Athena’s chin. Peaches watched, but decided to move elsewhere, coming up behind Tawny, who was still applying the headscissors hold to Lotus. She decided to copy the maneuver, and quickly jumped up, wrapping her legs around Tawny’s head before falling down onto her side.
The crowd roared at the sight of the string of 3 women; Lotus at one end of the ring with her head wedged between Tawny’s legs, and Peaches on the other end, with her legs wrapped around Tawny’s head. The three struggled, Peaches clearly in the best position of the 3 as she applied as much pressure as she could with her shapely gams.
In the opposite corner, Roxy had forced Athena into the corner after choking her for several moments, and then lifted her knee into the fitness competitors’ gut. There was s soft THUD as Roxy’s knee hot Athena’s abdomen, but the rigid, dimpled six pack of Athena easily took the blow, allowing her to slam a forearm into Roxy’s chest, knocking her backward. She followed that up with another forearm to the side of Roxy’s head, knocking the blonde senseless. But as Roxy stumbled backward, Athena rushed her, grabbing her from between the legs and hoisting her body into the air.
Trying to kick and wriggle free, Roxy was carried to the side of the ring before Athena, with a loud grunt, hoisted the blonde over the top rope and tossed her from the ring, eliminating her from the contest. Before Athena could turn around however, Ruby had got to her feet and snuck up behind the brunette. She delivered a chop to the side of Athena’s neck, from behind, dropping the brunette to her knees. As Athena fell forward against the ropes, Ruby grabbed hold of her legs, yanking them in toward the ring as Athena clenched onto the ropes, her body now stretched parallel to the mat. Ruby pulled for a few moments as Athena refused to give in, but with a final tug, forced the brunette to break her grip as her body plunged downward and crashed against the canvas, face first.
As Athena wriggled on her belly, Lotus managed to finally break free from the scissorshold being applied by Tawny. She got to her knees and glanced over at Ruby, debating whether or not to go not offensive against her. But with Tawny still trapped in Peaches scissorhold, she decided to take the less risky course. With the pretty black girl on her side with her head intertwined, Lotus suddenly dove forward, driving the top of her head into Tawny’s gut. Groaning, Tawny began to squirm, though unable to move much from Peaches grasp.
Lotus then got to her feet as Ruby reached down, snatching hold of Athena by the hair and ripping her onto her feet. Lotus glanced across the ring and yelled for Ruby to “HOLD HER THERE!”
Turning to face the young, oriental woman, Ruby did just that as Lotus raced across the ring and delivered a drop kick to Athena’s face, launching her backward before she collapsed near the side ropes. Peaches watched from her seated position, but then finally decided to join the fray, uncoiling her legs from Tawny’s head and allowing her to cower into a ball. As she began to push herself onto her feet however, Lotus quickly jumped up and ran toward her, landing a drop kick on Peaches chest, jarring her down onto her back. The crowd erupted as the energetic and athletic Louts again got to her feet, Athena, Peaches and Tawny all sprawled out beneath her.
Across the ring, Ruby stood, waiting to see what Lotus would do next. But that indecision cost her as Lotus barreled toward her and landed a huge dropkick to Ruby’s chest, shooting her off of her feet and knocking her against the ropes. Lotus had worked the crowd into a frenzy as they cheered her, but as she got up, Athena had managed to sneak up behind her, and undetected, grabbed a handful of Lotus’ hair and charged across the ring before slamming her face down into the turnbuckle. With her head bouncing off of the corner, Lotus was then jarred downward once more, her pretty face smashing into the corner a second time before she dropped to one knee, Athena standing ominously over her.
Glancing up at the clock, Athena noticed that there was only one minute left in the round, and decided to step up her attacks. She targeted Tawny first, racing over to grab her by the hair and rip her onto her feet. She then pulled her across the ring before tossing her over the top rope, ending her tournament with little to show for it.
Four women now remained with Peaches standing in one corner, Louts kneeling in another and Ruby and Athena just a few feet apart. Once again choosing to be the aggressor, Athena charged at the redhead, but Ruby was ready this time, turning to deliver a Karate kick into the charging Athena’s gut. With the brunette doubled over, Ruby reached down to grab her by the hair, but just as she secured her grip, Peaches had climbed up onto the second rope and launched herself forward, delivering a brutal elbow drop down onto the back of ruby’s neck.
The blow sent a tingle down the redhead’s spine as she dropped to both knees, Peaches getting to her feet and matching up behind the fallen Ruby. Just as she did at the start of the match, she reached forward and secured Ruby’s wrists, pulling them back behind her as she planted her foot between the redhead’s shoulders blades. Pulled into the vulnerable position, Ruby was an easy target for Athena, who got to her feet and as before, stomped her foot down into Ruby’s chest.
With the redhead’s large bosom jiggling freely, Athena then repeated the stomp on her other breast as Peaches kept her trapped, the two obviously working in tandem. Ruby’s head fell forward, her long, red dreadlocks covering her face as Athena moved closer to stomp on her once again. Just as she punted her foot into Ruby’s ribcage however, Lotus charged at her and leaped into the air.
“WATCH OUT!” yelled Peaches, trying to warn the brunette, though her warning was too late.
Lotus blasted her in the back with as drop kick as Athena was shot to the mat, falling down onto her face. Peaches released Ruby’s arms, but gave her a kick in the back for good measure, knocking her to the canvas. She then charged at Lotus, who was still getting to her feet after delivering the dropkick, and grabbed her by the hair, though the lively Lotus quickly retaliated by firing a quick chop into Peaches gut.
“BWAAAAAW!” howled the oil wrestler as she doubled over, Lotus hopping upward to wrap her legs around Peaches bowed head before using the grip to flip her onto her back.
Landing hard on her back, Peaches slid a few inches as her large bosom jiggled wildly from beneath her skimpy top. Just under 30 seconds remained, and both Athena and Peaches were down as Ruby had got to one knee and Lotus was back on her feet. Trying to partner with the redhead, Lotus nodded toward Athena, suggesting that they both attack. Ruby followed the suggestion as they both approached the fallen brunette, but as they pulled her onto her knees, Athena ignited, firing a stiff jab into Lotus’ gut before turning and doing the same to Ruby.
Both women doubled over, allowing Athena to get to her feet. She then grabbed Ruby in a side headlock and dragged her over to the side ropes before tossing her back against them. With the back of her shoulder pressed against the ropes, Ruby was met with a huge knee to her gut. With the redhead folded in half once more, Athena then wedged her shoulder beneath the bent Ruby, hoisting her onto her shoulders and straightening up before dumping her over the top rope and out of the ring, eliminating her in the process.
Turning, Athena noticed Lotus ready to race toward her, but what Lotus did not see was that Peaches had got to her feet and snuck up behind her. So just as she was ready to charge forward, Peaches quickly trapped her in a full nelson from behind, allowing Athena to race forward and deliver a devastating kick to the vulnerable Japanese girl. Lotus collapsed to the canvas as Athena quickly snatched two handfuls of her hair, dragging her hastily toward the side ropes.
Peaches meanwhile stood across the ring watching, ready to charge up behind Athena and try to eliminate her once she had tossed Lotus from the ring. So she waited for the elimination to happen before making her move, and Athena did not disappoint. As the two women reached the ropes, Athena tossed the svelte Lotus between the top two ropes, sending her flying out of the ring. But just as Lotus' body was exiting the ring, the bell rang to signal the end of the 5 minute first round.
Both Athena and Peaches had survived, though Peaches missed her opportunity to also eliminate Athena. But the question which remained was, had Lotus been eliminated before the bell rang, or was she still in the ring and therefore had survived. Getting to her feet below the ring, Lotus was groggy and rubbed her head as her mother came over to her, looking up for the official announcement. It was obvious that Samurai was annoyed with her daughter, but she held her words to see what the final result would be. The announcer consulted with the judges, and after getting the final word, made his way back into the ring and grabbed the microphone.
"The official results of the first round of our Women's Division Amateur Elimination Tournament are that, after the expiration of the 5 minute time limit, only Athena and Peaches have survived and will move onto the next round!"
Lotus hung her head at ringside while her mother screamed furiously at the judges in Japanese, obviously irate with their decision. But once it became apparent that they would not change their ruling, she grabbed Lotus by the wrist and dragged her back toward the locker room, screaming at her in Japanese the entire way.
Back up in the ring, Athena and Peaches slapped each other’s hands in congratulations, having worked together well to survive elimination. The announcer then instructed them to take a seat in the first row with the 4 pro wrestlers from the Women's Division before informing the crowd that the first round of the Veteran's Division Tournament was coming up next!
