Entry #30
(watch?v=GF2DccpXRlc)
All it took was the first couple of beats from the next competitor's theme song. Half of the audience had already figured out the identity of the final entrant of the Ryona Rumble. But when the trombones started to play, the sellout crowd of fifty thousand was going berserk. Almost everyone in the arena couldn't believe that the thirtieth competitor is one of the most dominant female wrestlers in the whole world. Many women had submitted their entry to become a part of this prestigious competition, but the people were ecstatic that someone of this high caliber is the last entrant of the Ryona Rumble.
At last, it was the moment that everyone has been waiting for. As the music played the theme part of the song, out stepped the thirtieth entrant. She marched slowly to the center of the stage, not in a hurry to get in the competition. After all, she wanted every single person in the arena to feel the 'awesome' presence she always brings with her whenever she's about to compete in a match. She gazed around the audience, wordlessly letting them know that she was here, and that she's going to dominate this match.
The thirtieth entrant was a thirty-seven year old woman, who stands about five feet, seven inches tall. She was a large, African American female, approximately about two hundred and seventy-two pounds. The wrestler had long, braided, black hair which went past her shoulders. It's a safe bet that her massive body can crush a petite woman like a grape. The intimidating look in her eyes even frightened most of the children and some of the women. Her outfit can be best described as a black, leather warrior skirt with gold flames embedded on the front, outlined in red. And while she wore no elbow or knee pads, she did have black boots that just reached her shin.
"HO...LY SHIT! Y... YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!"
"YOU'RE THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING WHAT THE AUDIENCE IS THINKING, PARTNER! SOMEBODY PINCH ME! I MUST BE DREAMING!"
"With one more competitor to enter the Ryona Rumble, who better to enter at #30 than the most dominant female wrestler in all of the world, of all time I might add! At 5'10'', two hundred plus pounds, the final entrant of the Ryona Rumble, ladies and gentlemen, from TNA, it's Awesome Kong!"
"How fitting is it to have someone like Awesome Kong in this kind of a match, Al? I bet no one here had predicted that she would come in at #30! And now, here she is! Awesome Kong! One of the most decorated and dominant wrestlers of all! Pardon me for saying this, but she has not become the heavy favorite in winning the Ryona Rumble!"
"Awesome Kong has quite an accomplished wrestling career! She started her journey performing in a variety of promotions in Japan! Kong also has wrestled in other promotions, such as Ring of Honor and other independent circuits! But it is TNA where her wrestling career flourished. She competed with some of the best wrestlers, such as Gail Kim, Taylor Wilde and Taryn Terrell! Awesome Kong has even spent some time in the WWE, surprising the fans by entering the Royal Rumble in 2012! I'm telling you that this incredibly talented woman has been everywhere!"
"Not only she's been everywhere, but she also has done it all! A two-time TNA Knockouts Champion, a former TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion! She was named Queen of the Knockouts in 2015! Pro Wrestling Illustrated has named her the best female wrestler in the world! There's just so many championships under her résumé! But winning the Ryona Rumble, I think that will be the crown jewel for her professional wrestling career!"
"You talk about power and brute force! The size and sheer strength of Awesome Kong makes her one of the most dangerous competitors to enter the ring! And if you add the fact that she's entering at #30, that's another advantage she has! She's fresh and ready to go, while the other competitors have worn each other down! I can't imagine any one of the remaining competitors will be able to throw Kong out of the ring!"
As the final entrant of the Ryona Rumble marched slowly down the steps, about half of the competitors had stopped what they were doing to get a good look at the final entrant. Their reactions were the same when Wonder Woman made her appearance almost ten minutes ago. Most of the women were at a loss for words. The rest had a look of disbelief written in their faces. They could not believe that someone as talented and as dominant like Awesome Kong is the last competitor to enter the match. When the thirtieth entrant walked up the steps, the women in the ring kept their attention on the large woman.
Finally, Awesome Kong climbed over the top rope, enter the squared circle and smirked at her opponents. And the crowd was going nuts.
"KONG! KONG! KONG! KONG!"
It was obvious that the crowd wanted Awesome Kong to win the match. Many of them are big fans of hers. As their cheering grew louder, the thirtieth entrant's confidence level grew. With the audience on her side, there's no way that she's going to let these slender and petite competitors prevent her from winning. Thanks to her size and strength advantage, Awesome Kong pretty much has this match all wrapped up.
But just to be sure that all of the other competitors know who the best is, the thirtieth entrant decided to make a statement right away. Awesome Kong spotted Reiko Hinomoto lying in the center of the ring, seemingly unconscious. The large woman figured that the Zero Fighter would be the first competitor to suffer. The thirtieth entrant bounced off of the ropes and rushed toward the supine Japanese wrestler. After getting a running start, Awesome Kong jumped and landed stomach first across her opponent's chest. Reiko gasp for air and tried to sit up straight. But after a while, she passed out on the mat.
"Wow! What a huge splash from Awesome Kong! That's making a big statement right there!"
"Think about it! Two hundred plus pounds all dropping down on Reiko Hinomoto's slender body! She's not getting up after that!"
But then, all of the sudden, most of the entrants went after Awesome Kong. Cammy and Chun-li turned their attention away from the helpless Juri so that they can take on the freshest entrant of the Ryona Rumble. The mother-daughter pair of Jaycee and Michelle Chang got back to their feet and also ganged up on Awesome Kong. The Williams sisters even joined in on the mugging. And finally, Beth Phoenix, Gail Kim and Taryn Terrell, brought their aggression to Awesome Kong.
The only ones who weren't attacking the thirtieth entrant were Juri, Reiko Hinomoto and Sakura Hagiwara. Juri was still suffering after what Cammy did to her eye. Reiko was still lying on the mat, winded after Awesome Kong gave her that devastating splash. Also, in one of the turnbuckles, Sakura was struggling to make it back to her knees, especially after all of the beating she took.
Back to the middle of the ring, it seemed like the nine-on-one assault was overwhelming the thirtieth entrant. But the competitors were about to find out that Awesome Kong cannot be taken down that easily. The large female powered out of the multiple assaults with ease. Bodies flew all over the ring upon Awesome Kong's amazing display of power. No wonder the thirty-seven year old woman was so dominant. The African American woman released a huge, animalistic roar, which made the audience react positively.
"Oh man! Did you see that? Kong just took out nine competitors at once! I don't believe it!"
"She's not called Awesome Kong for nothing, Ray! She has fought the best, and has defeated the best! Her size and power gives her a huge edge in this competition!"
One by one, the other women got back to a standing position so that they could try to defeat the thirtieth entrant. Cammy White was the first to challenge Awesome Kong. The Delta Red officer went for a roundkick to the large wrestler's side. But Kong caught Cammy by the leg, punched her in the face a couple of times and tossed her aside like a sack of potatoes. The next competitor to take on Awesome Kong was Jaycee. The masked wrestler ran toward the large woman as fast as she could. But the thirtieth entrant counted by picking the luchadora up in a fireman's carry position. She then fell backwards, delivering a powerful Samoan Drop on Jaycee.
After seeing the masked wrestler getting dropped by Awesome Kong, Michelle Chang began her attack on the large woman. The sixteenth entrant started with stiff forearms to her opponent's chest. But Awesome Kong took each of Michelle Chang's attacks like it was nothing. Every time the forty year old woman's arm connected with the African American's body, the thirtieth entrant widened the smirk on her face. Finally, Awesome Kong wrapped her hands around Michelle Chang's head, shuffled to the center of the ring and tossed her forward, causing the sixteenth entrant to flip over on to her back. The Biel throw made Michelle Chang groan in pain.
Beth Phoenix was the next woman to challenge Awesome Kong. After getting a running start, the Glamazon extended her arm out to the side, going for a short-arm clothesline. But when the sixth entrant's arm nailed the large wrestler in the chest, she was only able to knock her a couple steps back. Awesome Kong smirked at the former WWE Diva. Now, it's her turn to show the Glamazon a real clothesline. She took a step forward with her right arm extended and brought Beth Phoenix down with an even more vicious clothesline, turning the blonde inside-out.
Moments later, the Williams sisters ganged up on the African American wrestler. Nina unleashed her loud chops across Awesome Kong's chest, while Anna kicked the two hundred plus pound woman in the stomach. The siblings kept up with their attacks until they had the thirtieth entrant backed into the ropes. Instead of humiliating their opponent, Nina and Anna Williams decided to eliminate Awesome Kong right away. The eighteenth and twenty-eighth entrant each grabbed one of the wrestler's leg and tried to lift her off of the ground.
Sadly, neither Nina, nor Anna were able to toss Awesome Kong over the top rope. The thirtieth entrant managed to free herself by elbowing the blonde's temple and giving the brunette a big headbutt. With the eighteenth and the twenty-eighth entrants momentarily dazed, Awesome Kong got back on her two feet and grabbed the Williams sisters by the heads. She then brought Nina and Anna together, forcing the two women to bump heads. The siblings fell to the ground and rubbed their aching skulls.
"Whoa! Talk about meeting of the minds! Awesome Kong has been dominating this match from the get-go!"
"You're right about that! Many competitors in the ring tried to take her out, and all have failed! I hate to say it, but I believe that there is no one can beat Awesome Kong, let alone throw her out of the ring!"
The thirtieth entrant continued her displace of dominance by attacking her next opponents. First, she helped Juri to a standing position and place one of her ginormous hands around the Korean fighter's head. Awesome Kong broke into a fit of laughter as she watched the twenty-sixth entrant flailing her arms around, trying give her opponent a few punches of her. But with the large wrestler's arm fully extended, not one of Juri's punches came close to their target. All the Korean fighter could hit was thin air. Still, Awesome Kong delivered a big headbutt to the twenty-sixth entrant to end all of the silliness.
Awesome Kong then turned to her next opponent. Chun-li was still on her knees, apparently fighting the dizziness in her head. And the smirk on the African American woman told the sellout crowd that she wanted to make the Interpol agent suffer even more. Kong grabbed the Chinese woman by the hair and placed her head in between her thighs. Next, the wrestler lifted Chun-li on her shoulders. The audience watched with excitement, anticipating that the thirtieth entrant would finally deliver her finishing move.
However, Chun-li had a little bit of fight left in her. She first deliver a couple of quick punches to the head of her opponent, which was enough to stun Awesome Kong. With herself partially free, the Chinese woman countered by diving off of the wrestler's shoulders. As she fell to the mat, the Interpol agent tried to get Kong to fall down with a Sunset Flip. But thanks to the thirtieth entrant's advantage in size, Chun-li had no chance to move the large woman. Finally, Awesome Kong dropped to a seated position across her opponent's stomach, knocking the air out of her.
The African American woman got back to her feet and raised her arms to the ceiling. She unleashed a defining shriek, which terrified a majority of the younger audience. However, Awesome Kong received mostly a positive reaction from the crowd. They loved to watch this powerful and dominating woman beat the crap out of the other competitors in the ring. The audience couldn't wait to see more action from Awesome Kong.
The thirtieth entrant then noticed that the crowd were standing up. Their cheering was growing louder with each passing second. She figured that the people loved seeing her in action. But that wasn't the case. Awaiting on one of the turnbuckles, Sakura Hagiwara stalked Awesome Kong like a hungry lioness. She waited for the African American wrestler to turn around. And when she did, the teenage idol sprang high out of the corner and dove toward Kong with both of her hands clutched together, seemingly going for a Double Axe Hammer.
Too bad Awesome Kong had a surprise for her. With a ton of power and precise timing, the thirtieth entrant had the perfect counter. The two hundred plus pound woman got a quick running start toward the descending Hagiwara. Once she was close enough, Kong drove her right shoulder into the midsection of the Japanese wrestler, stopping all of her momentum in that one hit. For a brief moment, Sakura gasped with that sudden gut check. But then afterwards, Awesome Kong forcefully threw her opponent back first down on the mat, making the ring shake for a while.
The crowd was going bonkers after that one move, while Sakura rolled franticly on the canvas with her arms clenching her injured stomach.
"OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH MAAAAAAAAAAN!"
"WOW! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!"
"A spear! What a spear in midair by Awesome Kong! She stopped Sakura in midflight with that devastating move!"
"What are you talking about, Al? That was a Spinebuster! Awesome Kong caught Hagiwara on the descend and dropped her to the mat like a sack of potatoes!"
"Okay, fine! How about this? We'll call it the 'Spearbuster!' Awesome Kong delivered probably the most vicious Spearbuster of all time! Hagiwara just got dropped by the two hundred plus pound woman! But I don't think Awesome Kong is done yet!"
Like the commentator said, the thirtieth entrant had something else in store for the injured teenage idol. Again, she brought Sakura on her knees and placed her head in between her thighs. She grabbed Hagiwara's bottom and pulled up slightly to get the Japanese wrestler back to her feet. By then, the audience knew what was coming. And judging how disoriented and hurt Sakura was, there's no way she's going to get out of this one.
Awesome Kong then lifted the groggy Hagiwara up until she was sitting on her shoulders. After holding Sakura on her shoulders for a while, the African American woman then threw the teenage idol down and slammed her back first into the canvas with a huge powerbomb. However, Awesome Kong wasn't just satisfied with one throw. With Hagiwara's legs still on the thirtieth entrant's shoulders, the large wrestler lifted the dazed seventeen year old girl back up. The two hundred plus pound woman again slammed poor Sakura down on the canvas with another powerbomb.
The African American wrestler brought the young woman back on her shoulders for a third time. She spun around in a circle once before dropping to a seated position, ruthlessly slamming the Japanese wrestler into the mat. The transfer of energy was immense as the force of the impact coursed throughout Hagiwara's slender body. The seventeen year old girl was folded in half like a piece of paper. Her knees were only inches apart. Most of the men whistled when they got a really good look at the young girl's butt, or at least what's in between her legs.
"Oh my Lord! A Triple Powerbomb, with a devastating Awesome Bomb to cap it all off! This is ridiculous! Sakura Hagiwara can barely walk! She can barely stand! And yet this woman has the nerve to deliver multiple, impacting slams to the already injured young woman! Talk about unethical!"
"Criticize all you want, Al! This is the Ryona Rumble! This is where incredibly talented wrestlers and the world's greatest fighters compete and beat the living daylights out of each other! I see no crime in this! There is nothing unethical or uncalled for about it! This is what they're supposed to do! This is what Sakura Hagiwara signed up for when she entered herself in this competition! So let them fight! Let them compete! Let them go!"
With Sakura Hagiwara once again unconscious, Awesome Kong proceeded to throwing the nearly lifeless girl out of the ring. But before she could, a former rival got in the way. Gail Kim released a bunch of hard forearms and elbows to her opponent's face and body. Unlike the rest of the competitors, the Korean wrestler had quite a bit of force in her strikes, knocking the thirtieth entrant backwards. Even with Awesome Kong backed against the ropes, Gail Kim kept on attack.
The eleventh entrant then ran toward the edge of the ring, bounced off of the ropes and came back toward the African American wrestler. Gail Kim jumped up and planted both of her feet into Awesome Kong's chest. While the dropkick did knock a little bit of air right out of her, it wasn't enough to send her tumbling over the ropes. Again, Gail Kim connected with a running dropkick in attempt to eliminate her rival. And again, Awesome Kong remained in the ring.
Realizing that her attacks weren't working, the Korean wrestler tried to lift her opponent out of the ring all by herself. She lifted up Awesome Kong's right leg and pushed as hard as she could. But because she was alone, she had little success. It only took the thirtieth entrant a few moments to recover. She then grabbed Gail Kim by her long, black hair and gave her a huge headbutt, sending the TNA Knockout stumbling toward the middle of the ring.
Awesome Kong picked the Korean wrestler back up and went for another Irish Whip. But Gail Kim countered by holding on to her opponent's left arm, placed her right foot against Kong's jaw and dropped down to the mat as she pulled on the upper extremity. Her Eat Defeat made the thirtieth entrant groggy on her two feet. Seeing her chance to do some more damage, Gail Kim climbed an unoccupied turnbuckle and leaped toward her stunned opponent. The Korean wrestler had a front facelock applied, seemingly going for a Tornado DDT.
But her opponent not only had recovered sufficiently from Gail Kim's finishing move, she was already seeking revenge. Awesome Kong caught the TNA Knockout in midair, rushed to the edge of the ring and tried to throw the Korean wrestler out. Thankfully, Gail Kim landed on the apron. She saw Awesome Kong going for her signature spinning backfist. The TNA Knockout ducked underneath the powerful strike.
Too bad she wasn't prepared for the next.
By the time Gail Kim had got back up, it was too late. Awesome Kong extended her arm out and almost took off her opponent's head with a high impact clothesline. Gail Kim backflipped off of the apron and landed hard on her stomach on the unforgiving arena floor. The referees gathered around the Korean wrestler to see if she's alright, let alone conscious. Sadly, Gail Kim was already the next competitor to be eliminated.
"OH! MY GOD! OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!"
"Well... that's one way to go!"
"Gail Kim was turned inside-out with that devastating clothesline from Awesome Kong! Holy cow! She almost took Gail Kim's head off!"
"You can feel the impact from over here, Al! I hope Gail Kim is still alive after that elimination! She could've landed on her face and broken a cheek bone or something!"
"Nevertheless, Gail Kim is the next competitor to leave the Ryona Rumble! With that, there are now down to twelve women! A dozen competitors are left in the ring! We have now officially passed the one hour mark of the match! Twelve women are left, but there can be only one winner! Place your bets everyone! Because from here on out, it's every woman for herself! Who will walk out the winner of the Ryona Rumble?"
