Rina Hartling suffers her most devastating defeat yet at the hands of a far more experienced and extraordinarily cruel wrestler. A four-part series.

Rina Hartling vs. The Duchess of Doom
Rina wasn’t scheduled wrestle that night, so she was thrilled when she heard a spot had opened up on the booking schedule.
The always excitable brunette politely pushed her way through the crowd of wrestlers milling about the sign-up sheet, some of them discussing strategy for their upcoming matchups, some grumbling about having to wrestle low-level opponents or their placement on the card. None of that mattered to Rina, who was just hoping to get a match against someone. Anyone!
“Who’s left? Am I too late? Excuse me, pardon me… just need to get-oh, does someone have a pen? Or pencil? Help a girl out, eh?”
A marker was shoved into Rina’s hand and she hastily marked her name down in the one remaining empty spot, which to her surprise was right at the top of the sheet.
“Whoa! Main event spot? Someone must have dropped out. Hope nobody minds that I’m taking it.”
Rina’s question was met with a mixture stunned faces and amused chuckles. What she didn’t know was that the wrestler she would be replacing had conveniently “called in sick” when they learned who the other half of the main event was. It was a feared wrestler, a former legend that Rina wasn’t too familiar with as she was still new to the area and fairly new to the business in general. But a cursory read of the room made it obvious that it was not a woman anyone was in a hurry to step into the ring with.
“She’s gonna kill her,” one wrestler said.
“Massacre,” another chimed in. “Pure massacre.”
“RIP Rina,” said another.
As she often did in these awkward situations, Rina responded with a winning smile and a sheepish rubbing of her neck, unsure of what exactly she’d gotten herself into. She figured it was a good idea to ask at least one question.
“So who’s the ‘Duchess of Doom?’”
Broken
“Is that all you’ve got? Embarrassing,” the Duchess taunted.The veteran wrestler was right. This was getting embarrassing for Rina. The plucky Canadian had struggled to muster up any significant offence and it looked like her failed attacks had taken more out of her than it had the Duchess! As Rina gathered herself, fans could see her pretty muscles straining just to get her arms back up into a fighting posture, her gorgeous strands of hair already beginning to stray.
“There’s plenty more… nff… where that came from,” Rina replied softly.
Rina’s attempts to lift the Duchess only left her feeling drained, so she had to be careful with her next move. The crowd smelled blood and they were just waiting for Rina to make the mistake that would turn her into the Duchess’ ragdoll. She couldn’t stop imagining all of the worst-case scenarios: The Duchess plucking her out of mid-air and slamming her into the canvas. Or countering a strike by tripping Rina to the mat and tying her up in a nasty submission. Or just doing what she’d been doing all match, shrugging off Rina’s attacks and leaving her demoralized.
The jobber’s overthinking proved costly as the Duchess decided to take matters into her own hands. She took two imposing strides forward, immediately causing the space around Rina to shrink. Before Rina could dodge out of the way, the Duchess had snatched one of her wrists to keep her from moving.
*WHAP*
A hard slap cracked Rina across the face, almost more like a punch than an open-handed blow. The Duchess sharply swung her arm back in the same direction, connecting with a backhand to Rina’s cheek that almost knocked her right off of her feet. With a chuckle, she slapped Rina one more time, the impact traveling all the way down Rina’s body and making her toes shiver inside her boots.
Dumb and dizzy, Rina did nothing to stop the Duchess from scooping her up around the waist with one arm and holding her horizontal to the mat. The heel walked around the ring with Rina in tow, building anticipation for one of her signature moves, one that few opponents recovered from: the backbreaker.
“NNNYYYAAAAAHHH!” the athletic babe howled the Duchess dropped her spine across her knee with chilling precision and devastating force. Her execution of the simple, but cruel maneuver was well-regarded and for good reason as Rina discovered. Every inch of her body seized up, the pain so overwhelming she thought she might pass out right then and there; but no, any numbness she felt was replaced by a dull ache as her body remained bent out of shape for a few seconds that felt like minutes.
The Duchess shoved Rina off of her knee, sending the Canadian tumbling to the mat. Rina’s spine was aflame and she arched her back dramatically in an attempt to alleviate some of the tension. Her chest and crotch shot up as she balanced on her upper back and tip-toes. She eventually came to a rest on her side, her hand moving to massage herself.
*Damn… that… that really friggin’ hurt… I have to get up… I… GAAAH!*
Rina had begun to push herself up onto her elbows, her butt sliding along the mat, but her attempt to rise was snuffed out by the Duchess planting a heavy boot on her neck. She pushed down, causing Rina to gag and cough and her legs to kick helplessly. Rina pushed against the Duchess’ boot, but couldn’t move it an inch.
“You stay right there, pretty jobber. Your destruction is just beginning.”
