Entry #2
(watch?v=ToEg0gackrg)
Needless to say that the second competitor was another crowd favorite. The applause and ovation was even louder than Sakura's. Everyone was on their feet, cheering for their favorite eye candy and WWE Diva. But the seventeen year old idol gulped nervously. She knew that her first opponent in the Ryona Rumble match will not be an easy one.
"Oh my gosh! Look who it is!"
A twenty-seven year old woman marched out of the curtains and onto the stage. She had both of her hands up, pointing to her adoring fans. Without a doubt, this Diva was beyond sexy. The pink and violet lights from above bounced off her perfect skin and gorgeous blonde hair. She wore a purplish bra with white outlines all around. Her white, skimpy shorts showed off her sexy legs. A purplish belt wrapped around her waist to keep it tight. The blonde also wore arm sleeves with the same matching color. Finally, she had white boots and kneepads that matched the color of her shorts.
"And her opponent, from Jacksonville, Florida... KELLY KELLY!"
She didn't need fireworks to get the crowd pumped up. She skipped happily down the ramp, high-fiving all of the fans on her right side. She then went back to the top of the ramp and did the same thing, but with the audience on the left. Next, the WWE Diva skipped around the barrier, making sure she gave everyone in the front row a high-five. Kelly Kelly then walked up the stairs, entered the ring and climbed to the top of the nearest turnbuckle. As she pointed and winked toward the crowd, cameras flashed all over the arena, taking pictures of the blonde.
"How do you like that, Ray? The former Divas Champion, Kelly Kelly, is in the match! I love the Ryona Rumble! You never know who's coming out or what surprises are in store!"
"You got that right, Al! Kelly Kelly has a fine background in cheerleading and gymnastics, which translate into some of the moves she unleashes on her opponents! And by working in a huge company like the WWE, she has faced a lot of Divas that tested her abilities! I mean, let's look at the list! She has wrestled Michelle McCool, Mickie James, and of course, Beth Phoenix!"
"Kelly Kelly has defeated her own share of powerful and talented wrestlers in the past! But tonight, and for the first two minutes, she's gonna have to deal with Sakura Hagiwara! Again, ladies and gentlemen, here are the rules for this match! Once you go over the top rope, and both of your feet hit the floor, you are eliminated! The last woman standing, will become the Greatest Champion in the World!"
The former Divas Champion hopped off of the second rope and faced the teenage idol on the opposite side of the ring. Sakura's look of determination, on the other hand, remained. The Japanese wrestler gave the blonde a nod as a sign of respect. Kelly Kelly smiled and repeated the same gesture.
It didn't take long for Kelly Kelly's entrance music to die down. The lights above the ring turned on, and everyone was ready for tonight's main event. As the crowd cheered on one last time, the announcer exited the ring and the referee pointed toward the person running the bell.
*DING, DING, DING*
Both women circles around the ring, trying to gauge their opponent's strengths, as well as ways they could attack.
"So, here we go folks! The Ryona Rumble is underway! Sakura Hagiwara and Kelly Kelly will start up the match! And every two minutes, another competitor will enter the ring! This will continue until all thirty competitors are in the ring!"
"Let me ask you, Ray! For Sakura Hagiwara, a girl with little experience and the #1 entrant, what type of strategy would you use in this match? It's bad enough that your first opponent is a former Divas Champion! But like you said before, another competitor will enter the ring every two minutes! If Sakura's going to win this event, she's going to have to survive for at least an hour, plus the wrath of twenty-eight other strong and talented women!"
"Good question, Al! To be honest, there's not really much you can do if you were the #1 or #2 entrant! But I guess it's all about surviving! Hagiwara has to pace herself and make sure she has enough energy to remain in the match! It's just like a marathon runner! And yes, it is true that Sakura Hagiwara has to survive for at least an hour to win the Ryona Rumble. But for now, she needs to concentrate on surviving Kelly Kelly, who is fresh and ready to go! If Sakura's worried about the women in the back instead of the ones in the ring, she'll be eliminated in a blink of an eye!"
The first two entrants began the Ryona Rumble match with a collar-and-elbow tie up. Both wrestlers refused to give in. They continued to push each other with all their might. After a few seconds of testing each other's strength, Sakura Hagiwara was the first to make her move. She locked the blonde in a headlock. The Japanese teen trapped Kelly Kelly's head with her arm and body. The former Divas Champion tried to remove Sakura's grip on her cranium, but the young idol would not to let go.
Kelly Kelly then backed Sakura into the ropes and somehow manages to get her to release the hold. She whipped the young woman toward the other side of the ring. Sakura bounced off the ropes and sprinted towards Kelly Kelly, who was about launch her first attack. She held her arm out, ready to clothesline her on the neck. But Sakura immediately ducked underneath Kelly Kelly's arm. She ricocheted off the other ropes and charged back at her opponent.
"Imada!" Sakura said to herself when she found an opening.
Hagiwara sprang off the ground and landed a low dropkick onto Kelly Kelly's left knee. The former Divas Champion fell to the ground, but quickly stood back on her feet. But Sakura was there waiting for her. She threw a couple of forearm shots to the face of Kelly Kelly, reeling the blonde until she was against the ropes. However, Hagiwara continued the assault with more forearm strikes to the head and a couple of roundkicks to the gut.
Sakura then tried to Irish Whip her opponent toward the ropes, but Kelly Kelly reversed it, sending the Japanese wrestler instead. When the idol rebounded, the blonde tried going for a clothesline again. But Sakura ducked underneath Kelly Kelly's arm, springboarded off of the second rope and landed on the former Divas Champion's chest with a diving crossbody.
With Kelly Kelly still on the ground, Hagiwara changed positions until she was mounted on top of the woman. The Japanese idol unleashed a fury of punches to the exposed head of Kelly Kelly.
"My God! Look at Hagiwara go, Ray! Right from the start of the match, Sakura's already on the offensive and Kelly Kelly's on her back!"
"Kelly Kelly may have the experience, but Sakura's as feisty as a cat! She's got the entire package, Al: speed, strength, flexibility, technique, endurance! You name it! She would've been my pick to win the Ryona Rumble, if she hadn't drew that #1 spot!"
Sakura got Kelly Kelly back to her feet and tried Irish Whipping her towards the ropes. Again, the blonde countered and threw the Japanese wrestler to the other side of the ring. But when the Hagiwara was in range, she took a page out of Kelly Kelly's book. A tilt-a-whirl headscissors on the former Divas Champion got everybody in the arena off of their feet. They were amazed with such explosiveness and excitement coming from this young woman.
Kelly Kelly had to catch her breath. She was extremely dizzy after taking so much shots to the head and spinning all over the place. The blonde made her way towards one of the corners so she could recover. Unfortunately, Sakura had the former Divas Champion right where she wanted her. The seventeen year old girl threw three shoulder thrusts into the gut of Kelly Kelly, making the weakened blonde exhale.
With her out of breath, Sakura stood on the second rope and grabbed the woman's head with her left hand. Hagiwara rose her right fist in the air before unleashing a fury of punches to Kelly Kelly's unprotected skull.
"1... 2... 3... 4... 5..." The crowd counted each time Sakura connected with the punch to her opponent's head. "... 8... 9... 10!"
"Listen to this crowd! They sure love to see Sakura Hagiwara in action!"
"Now, wait just a minute, Al! Sakura may have the crowd on their feet, but she's in a dangerous position right now! LOOK OUT!"
Somehow, Kelly Kelly managed to recover from the ten head shots. When Sakura's feet touched the ground, the blonde lifted the teenager by the armpits and threw her over the top rope. Hagiwara reacted just in the nick of time, grabbing the top rope with both hands and landing on the apron. Kelly Kelly tried to eliminate Sakura, but the idol gave the former Divas Champion another shoulder thrust to the belly, knocking her to the ground. The blonde rolled on her stomach and coughed for air.
"IKUZO!" Hagiwara said to herself.
She climbed the closest turnbuckle and measured the distance between herself and opponent. Kelly Kelly was on her back, still winded from the beating she had previously received. Sakura found her balance and rose both her arms up, getting the crowd pumped up for what's about to happen next. Suddenly, Hagiwara jumped forward and went for a diving splash across the blonde's stomach.
But Kelly Kelly rolled out of the way just in time. By then, it was too late for Sakura.
She couldn't brace herself in time as her chest and stomach slammed hard against the unforgiving canvas. Hagiwara gasped for air. It felt like she had the wind knocked out of her when she landed. Poor Sakura rolled on the mat, clenching her stomach and kicking her legs about, symbolizing how much pain she was in.
"I... Itai!" moaned the idol.
"Oh my God! What an impact! Sakura was going for a high-risk maneuver, but it backfired on her! Now, Sakura's ribs appeared to be injured! You can see her flopping around the ring like a fish out of water!"
"What the hell was she thinking? Going for a splash in the Ryona Rumble match? That wasn't really smart of Hagiwara! She had control of this match from the beginning! Now, instead of putting the nail in Kelly Kelly's coffin, that failed attempt was probably the nail in her own coffin!"
Sakura fought the pain and made her way towards a corner. Still clinching her ribs, the teenage idol managed to get back on her two feet. But she didn't see her opponent already standing on the opposite corner. Suddenly, the former Divas Champion cartwheeled and performed a couple of backflips before driving a back elbow into Hagiwara's jaw.
The stunned teenager hobbled toward the center of the ring like she has no idea where she's at. Kelly Kelly seized the opportunity to inflict more damage on the inexperience wrestler. She stood behind the dazed idol and grabbed her neck with both arms. Kelly Kelly then dropped to the ground, bringing her opponent down with her in a vicious neckbreaker.
Sakura landed with a loud 'THUMP', which made the audience reacted with awe.
"COME ON!" The former Divas Champion shouted to the crowd to get them involved in the match.
Everyone in the arena cheered and clapped for their favorite WWE Diva. Being a former cheerleader, Kelly Kelly knew a thing or two about getting loud receptions from the crowd.
As the former Divas Champion pumped up the audience, she looked at the titantron and saw that the next competitor is about to come out in a matter of seconds. She looked back at her opponent, who was already on her hands and knees. The blonde decided to do one more move to Hagiwara before the third entrant comes out.
She helped Sakura back to her feet. But before she could give her time to recover, Kelly Kelly gave the Japanese girl a hard knee to the gut, doubling her over. Next, she placed her right leg on the back of Sakura's head. Kelly Kelly dragged her finger from one side of the audience to the other, letting them know her finisher is coming right up.
Once she had the crowd in the palm of her hand, she jumped with her other leg and transition into a seated position. This caused Hagiwara's skull to crash hard into the canvas.
"OOH!" The audience gasped.
"Wow! A K2, Al! Or a leg drop bulldog as I like to call it! Man, did you hear the impact when Sakura's head hit the mat?"
"I certainly did, Ray! Kelly Kelly's in control of this match right now, as we await the #3 entry for the Ryona Rumble!"
