Entry #9
[MEDIA=youtube]Bbx-nn6TMlE[/MEDIA]
White Lotus was a little surprised when the rocking sounds of the electric guitar sung across the arena. For fans of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, only one specific female whose tenacity and ferocity could only be matched by the entrance music. And for the wrestling fans in general, they were also aware of not only what the next competitor has accomplished throughout her career, but also of her skills and various moves.
Moments later, a forty year old woman with long, black hair with reddish highlights all over stood on the center of the staged with her hands on her hips.
She then took off her red t-shirt to display her revealing, sexy wrestling attire.
She wore a silver bra with red streaks along the edges, held together by a white emblem in the shape of a spider. The competitor's tights also had the same matching color as her top. She had a red kneepad on her left leg, but a leg brace on her right. Finally, her black boots had the designs of a bunch of spider webs.
"Uh-oh!"
"One of the most dominant competitors in all of women's wrestling! Here comes Tara!"
"This feisty female ruled the Knockouts Division in TNA! A five time TNA Knockouts Champion, a former TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion! She's rough! She's tough! And she's got her sights set White Lotus!"
"Even so, Tara's only human, Al! Unlike White Lotus who has superhuman powers, the former TNA Knockout pales in comparison to this young woman!"
"I wouldn't count Tara out just yet, Ray! Tara has defeated Awesome Kong back in 2011, and her strength almost matches White Lotus's! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us!"
Tara slowly entered the ring while keeping her eyes on the black haired girl.
A couple of minutes ago, she did witness White Lotus not only punched a steel chair to the crowd, but she also took out three of the best fighters in the world. Without a doubt, approaching the young woman with extreme caution was crucial.
One mistake and not only she could be eliminate, but also suffer some serious injuries along the way.
So to be on the safe side, Tara made her way towards the wrestler in the corner and went right to work on Sakura Hagiwara, stomping her injured ribs.
This tactic of hers earned the former TNA Knockout a flurry of boos.
"Hold on! Wait a minute! What's going on here? Tara's going after the #1 entrant instead of White Lotus? What's the point? Sakura's helpless! She can't defend herself!"
"That doesn't matter, Ray! Don't forget that this is the Ryona Rumble! It's every woman for herself! And if you ask me, this is a smart move by Tara! Why waste your energy on someone like White Lotus when you can go after the weakened Sakura Hagiwara?"
Meanwhile, White Lotus stood in the opposite corner, looking mightily confused.
While it is not against the rules to attack an opponent who's almost helpless, it's still unethical. But then again, this is a battle royale, meaning the match will continue until one competitor was left. So, essentially, there's nothing wrong with brutally assaulting the former teenage idol with powerful stomps to the midsection.
But she wasn't finished with her yet. Tara brought the poor Japanese teen to a standing position and dragged her to a nearby corner.
She banged her the turnbuckle a few times.
Afterwards, she delivered punch after punch to the exposed head.
All the while, Sakura's arms laid helplessly on the top ropes, unable to protect the girl's skull.
The moment she thought of defending herself, another shot to the head would sent her back to La-La Land.
Next, the five time TNA Knockouts Champion placed her opponent's head in between her legs and lifted her up on her shoulders.
It appeared as if Tara was going for a powerbomb, which would've been a devastating blow to her head and torso at the same time. But instead of slamming Hagiwara hard on the mat, the TNA Knockout focused back on the turnbuckle. She threw the teenage idol into the corner.
Sakura's head snapped back when her body collided against the padding.
She fell flat on her face and passed out.
"My God, folks! Sakura Hagiwara's is flat on her stomach, nearly lifeless!"
"And it looks like she's going after Tina Armstrong now!"
Tara went right to work on the blonde haired wrestler. She sat on top of Tina and started choking her. Once again, White Lotus stood in her corner, waiting for the newest entrant to face her. But Tara kept her focus on the blonde.
The twenty-four year old woman kicked and fought for air. But apparently, her body was too weak to put up a fight. Before Tina was about to go to sleep, Tara released the hold and unleashed a few vicious hooks to her beautiful face.
Tara then helped the weakened Tina Armstrong back up to a vertical base.
A few forearm shots knocked the blonde on the ropes.
The former TNA Knockout then Irish Whipped her opponent to the other side of the ring.
Tina bounced off the cables and sprinted toward the dark haired female.
Suddenly, Tara unleashed a powerful superkick to her opponent's jaw.
Tina Armstrong fell hard on the mat.
Her arms and legs spread out like an eagle.
The five time Knockouts Champion raised her arms in victory.
To end the onslaught in style, Tara returned to the seventeen year old girl and helped her to her feet.
Next, she lifted Sakura Hagiwara up on her shoulders in a fireman's carry.
She walked toward the center of the ring and faced the camera with an arrogant chuckle on her face.
Suddenly, Tara spun her opponent around and changed positions.
She then finished her signature technique, the Spider's Web.
"Wow! The power of the Tara on display ladies and gentlemen!"
"Oh boy! How much punishment can Sakura take?"
Tara made it back to a standing position and faced White Lotus once again.
The eighth entrant took that stare as a challenge. She walked toward the forty year old wrestler and the two female locked in a staring contest. Tara mouthed off all kinds of insults toward her young opponent, trying to get inside her head.
But all of the trash talking in the world couldn't break through the disciplined White Lotus.
In order to prove her point, Tara executed a standing backflip.
Her body landed against Sakura's exposed belly.
The standing moonsault further damaged the #1 entrant's midsection.
"Oh my! An impressive run here by the former TNA Knockouts Champion!"
"Man, Sakura's ribs must be on fire right now! I don't think she can breathe normally without feeling some kind of pain in her body!"
But the time for games was over. It was time for Tara to do some damage to White Lotus. Even though this petite girl had super strength and other fascinating powers, that still wasn't enough to scare her.
Sure White Lotus has lifted Beth Phoenix almost ten feet in the air, took a chair shot directly to the head and punched that steel weapon into the crowd. That still didn't impress her.
To even the odds, Tara found a weapon that was left in the ring, thanks to the fifth entrant of the Ryona Rumble.
The former TNA Knockout picked up the guitar by the neck, figuring that this would be the perfect weapon to do some real damage.
Tara pulled her arms back and took aim at White Lotus's head.
As for the #8 entrant, she had her hands on her hips, unafraid of the oncoming cheap shot.
Suddenly, the five time TNA Knockouts Champion unleashed a powerful swing to the body of White Lotus.
*DONG*
Tara nailed the young woman's skull with Candy Cane's signature weapon. Since the moment arm on the guitar was longer than the steel chair, the torque on the electric guitar was greater. Scientifically, the damage to White Lotus's head would be even greater than from Beth Phoenix's chair shot a couple of minutes ago. Everyone in the arena expected the black haired girl to collapse on the mat.
Too bad that wasn't the case.
Not only White Lotus took the full blunt of the attack, but she left a depression on the electric guitar's body.
The instrument's fretboard had also broke off, leaving the strings of guitar the only attachments to the weapon. White Lotus walked toward the former TNA Knockout. Her eyes told her opponent she's not showing her any mercy.
Tara clasped her hands together and pleaded for forgiveness, but to no avail.
Suddenly, the young woman detected someone running towards her blindside. The eighth entrant used her power of flight to avoid the oncoming attack.
Too bad for Tara, she had no time react. She didn't see Tina Armstrong closing the distance, nor delivering a running dropkick to her.
Tara fell on her back and was knocked in a dazed.
The force of the kick sent the retired Knockout stumbling into the corner.
"Whoa! Good grief! What a dropkick! Tara didn't even see her coming!"
"I don't think that was Tina's intention, Ray! I believe she was trying to attack White Lotus while she wasn't looking! But superhuman reflexes is one of her powers! I guess Tina Armstrong wasn't aware of that!"
White Lotus landed gracefully back in the ring behind the blonde haired woman.
The Dead or Alive wrestler quickly turned around and bravely charged toward her opponent, even though she was no match for her.
Tina delivered a set of hard punches and kicks to White Lotus's head and side.
Once again, the young woman took each attack. She smiled at the blonde for the wrestler's valiant efforts.
A few seconds later, White Lotus lifted Tina Armstrong up in a gorilla press, showing the entire audience her superior strength.
She then drops the twenty-four year old down on her back.
The pain to her spine was immense. To Tina, it felt like she hand handed on hard steel, rather than the actual mat.
The poor woman had her back arched into the letter C and groaned in pain.
"Look at the strength! And there goes Tina Armstrong! Al, you gotta be impressed with what you're seeing right now! White Lotus has put on a clinic ever since she entered the ring!"
"And I am very impressed! This girl is definitely special! Just look at the carnage inside and outside the ring! Bodies are scattered all over, thanks to this young woman who has truly made a name for herself on this grand stage!"
The black haired girl decided that enough was enough for now. She saw the numbers on the titantron counting down once again. In a few seconds, the next entrant of the Ryona Rumble will make her entrance.
Everyone in the arena was on their feet, cheering their lungs out. Perhaps the next competitor would provide White Lotus a challenge. Either that or maybe another woman in over her head in this matchup. As the clock ticked down, the suspense in the arena has risen.
"We will be about a third of the way there! Entry #10 is about to enter the match!"
