Lena is more than a
little cocky and arrogant.
I mean she is aware of
the fact that there are other grapplers out there better than she is.
When you have the
equivalent of a black belt in Brazilian Ju Jitsu you are probably allowed a
certain swagger in your step.
One day there are try
outs for a pro style roster.
Like WWE? Dena reckons
she’s gotta give this a go – how hard can it be?
She even does up a bit
of a goth look, let’s try doing the whole heel thing.
The woman she picks
out is pretty big in her own right – Dena has seen her before.
Dena knows that her
training partner is not at that level of being a black belt, so this is going
to be easy.
The bell rings.
That seems like a long
time ago.
Someone is shouting
regularly. The words are things like “break it!” and counts that never get
higher than four.
Dena does distinctly
remember that original thumb poke, her eye is still watering a bit.
After that it seems
there’s been a lot of getting choked over the ropes, grabbing by the hair, kicking
when down.
The most recent event
was a whip toss into the corner turnbuckles.
Dena slams back first
and it’s like there’s an electric fire running the length of her spine.
Staggering off the
turnbuckle and forward she walks right into the sleeper hold, and then staggers
a little further to the middle of the ring.
Normally Lena would
shake this easy as.
Today her bell has
been (metaphorically) rung repeatedly already and her legs aren’t working
properly after the turnbuckle slam on her back.
And as the sleeper
squeezes in her legs aren’t coming back.
What the hell!
This isn’t fair!!!
What about all the
other illegal moves and cheats up to this point?!?!?!
This part is perfectly
legal, right in the middle of the ring.
Just where Treena
wants it…
