-LAST WEEK, HELDDOWN-

The Angels look about ready to pounce on the outnumbered Jade, when suddenly, Leon Rodez walks over, standing beside her sister. Val and Constance recoil slightly, not looking quite so anxious to attack anymore.

LEON
Problem?

CONSTANCE
What a surprise. As soon as there's trouble, little Jadey hides behind her brother. Word of advice, Jade. If you ever graduate from the academy and some how get your wrestling license...learn to stand on your own two feet. Because you won't have 'Big Bro' to fight your battles for you.

JADE
I can fight my own battles just fine. Infact, if you two aren't busy next week, maybe I can fight them then. The Minnesota Angels versus me and a partner. How does that sound?

CONSTANCE
A FEMALE partner...you can't pick your brother. We're not going intergender...

Leon wipes his hand across his chin, looking The Angels up and down.

LEON
Pity.

Flustered, The Angels think about attacked again...but think better of it again.

VALERIE
Alright, bitch. We'll see you and whoever you can find in the ring next week!

CONSTANCE
You'd better hope you can find a good partner, because you're in WAY over your head. WAY over!

As The Minnesota Angels storm off, Jade watches on with a snarling look on her face. Beside her, Leon smiles, wrapping an arm around his little sister's shoulders.

LEON
First match, eh? Aw, my little sis is growing up.

JADE
*laughs* Shut up!

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen, the following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. First, team number one. Both hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota. At a total combined weight of two hundred and ninety five pounds...VALERIE and CONSTANCE...THE MINNESOTA AAAAAAANNGGEEEELLLLLLSSSSSS!!!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

"Seether" by Veruca Salt hits as Valerie and Constance strut out onto the stage, smug as can be. The duo stop, raising their arms and soaking up the boos of the crowd, before they make their way down the aisle. Valerie stops midway, checking her hair is in place in the lens of a nearby camera, Constance seeing it and deciding she should do the same.

COLE
You saw the recap moments ago, of what led to this match tonight. These Minnesota Angels had a busy night last Thursday, not only sticking their nose in the business of Molly Matthews and Pantera Combiatenta but also insulting Jade Rodez, again with no reason or provokation. But Jade stood up to them and good for her, says I. Because these youngsters, brash as they are, are great tag team wrestlers. It takes a lot of guts for a trainee like Jade Rodez to be challenging them to a match, her first professional match no less.

CABOOSE
Either it's guts, or she's as dumb as her brother.

COLE
Well, Jade mentioned she has previous training...and, talking to Leon, it seems that's true. She took up a wrestling course in Michigan. Which, according to Leon, ended after a month and a half because 'Jade discovered yo-yos and took that up for two weeks instead'. Whether he was actually serious or not, who knows. But we're told this isn't a fad this time and Jade is serious about becoming a wrestler, she knows the basics already and has apparantly been coming along well in the past couple of months.

COACH
She's been training with the good folks down at the OAOAST Wrestling Academy. I hear Pantera Combiatenta has been working with her the past couple of weeks, as she has a lot of the girls in the Women's Division. But as well as that, Jade has been having 'not so secret' lessons from her brother too. So, she might surprise us tonight.


The Minnesota Angels gather in the ring, currently making fun of Michael Buffer's tuxedo, Valerie holding her nose and indicating that his dress sense stinks, while Constance gives him a big thumbs down. Buffer doesn't seem to notice though, as he steps back centre ring.

BUFFER
And, their opponents! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by "Silky Smooth" LEON RODEZ! From Grand Rapids, Michigan...she weighs in at "probably about 20 pounds too much". Making her OAOAST debut tonight. JAAADDEEE... RRRROOOOOODDEEEEZZZZZZZ!!!!

"YYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"


[b]*GOOOOONG!*[/b]


[i]"GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!
GET DOWN, GET DOWN!"[/i]

The crowd pop as "Jungle Boogie" by Kool and the Gang hits, in absence for actual theme music as Jade is still a trainee of course, playing The Rodez Family to the ring. Leon leads the way, his sister trailing behind looking mighty nervous about her big first match. And thankfully, not too drunk, thank you Molly Matthews. The Rodezes reach the ring, Jade getting a good luck pat on the back from her brother, who makes his way over to Sofa Central, whilst she begins to enter the ring. Quickly The Angels advance on her, so she backs down the steps and retreats into the aisle, not wanting to be out-numbered.

CABOOSE
(mumbling) Here, have this one, I'm gonna grab some tea.

LEON
Heh. You wacky Brit you. Hey, what's up guys!

COACH
HOLLA~1

COLE
Leon Rodez, thanks for joining us. Tag team action here...

LEON
I love tag teaming.

COLE
...Women's Division.

LEON
I love women.

Jade continues to watch on from the aisleway, waiting for her partner to make herself known. The Minnesota Angels watch on intently, leaning on the ropes and trying to look relaxed...




"OLE, OLEOLEOLE, OLE, OLE!"
"OLE, OLEOLEOLE, OLE, OLE!"

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLEEEEEEEE!!!
OLEOLEOLE, OLE, OLE!"

As the crowd sing along to "Ole!" by The Bouncing Souls, Valerie and Constance begin to become even more confident in the ring. Confident to the point of laughing hysterically away to themselves and clearly not being intimidated by El Chica Genérico as she bounds through the curtains, shooting a single finger to the heavens.

COACH
Wait, you turned down Molly Matthews for this?

LEON
Hey, don't look at me Coach...Leon Rodez hasn't turned a woman down in his life.

Genérico jogs down the rampway, tagging hands with the fans...and tagging hands with Jade Rodez as she reaches the bottom of the aisle.

BUFFER
And, her tag team partner. Hailing from Tijuana, Mexico...she weighs in at one hundred and twenty one pounds. She is the "Generic Lady Luchador"... EL CHICAAAAA... GGEEEEENNÉÉÉÉRRRIIIICCCCOOOOOOOO!!!

"YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

Genérico is clearly a popular choice with the fans. She also seems a popular choice with the Minnesota Angels, mockingly applauding Genérico as she is announced to the crowd. Genérico removes her spangly gold cape, throwing it behind her and giving Jade a thumbs up, returned by Jade with a smile. The duo then begin to make their way around to their corner of the ring. The Angels meanwhile huddle in their's, discussing strategy.

COLE
So, what do you think about these Minnesota Angels then Leon?

LEON
They're no Charlie's Angels. Both TV series and blockbuster movie versions.

Team conference over, Constance leaves the ring and allows Valerie to start the match. Perhaps unsurprisingly, on the other side of the ring, Jade ducks out and allows Genérico to step into the ring. A mighty "OLE~!" gets a cheer from the crowd and sneers from The Angels.

COLE
I was thinking more advic...

LEON
That's not to say I'd kick them out of bed. Far from it. Not that I'd ever kick a woman anywhere, but I wouldn't ask them politely to leave my bedroom. Infact, if I were making a comeback in my previous career, then, as far as the Women's Division goes, you're probably looking at my leading ladies. I could call it "Leon and the Minnesota Ana...

COLE
...ANYWAY! We're set to go here. With wrestling.

LEON
Oh yeah. That stuff. Good good.


*DING DING DING!*

Genérico and Val inch forward, circling each other for a moment before initiating a collar and elbow tie-up. With the slight weight advantage, Valerie is able to pull Genérico down into a side headlock. Genérico uses some forearms to loosen Valerie up, before backing her off the ropes and shooting her across the ring. Coming back, Val braces herself and knocks down Genérico with a shoulder block. Rapturous applause from Constance greets Valerie as she poses momentarily, before hitting the ropes. Over rolls Genérico, Valerie vaulting over the top. Genérico quickly scrambles back up, bracing herself for Valerie coming back and countering her relaxed shoulder block by taking her over, japanese armdrag style. Flustered, Valerie scrambles back up, taken over with a traditional armdrag. Valerie scrambles up again and charges. Genérico is waiting, sidestepping Valerie with a bi paso.

GENÉRICO
OLE~!

Valerie crashes back off the ropes. Over goes Genérico with a leapfrog, turning to meet Valerie on the second rebound with a hiptoss. Valerie manages to block though, pulling Genérico's arm back into a British courting hold. With her free arm, Genérico pushes Valerie's head down and throws her legs up, wrapping them around the head of Valerie. Confused, the Angel releases the arm of Genérico and is sent tumbling to the mat with a headscissors, right into a victory roll style pinning combination...



1...



2...


Kickout.

Both Valerie and Genérico scramble up, with Valerie too anxious to attack and running straight into a drop toe hold. Val holds his face in pain on the mat, as Genérico vaults over her and hits the ropes in front, diving in with a basement dropkick to the face! Valerie again tends to her face, getting rolled onto her back for another pin...



1...



2...

Kickout.

Genérico quickly applies a side headlock as Valerie kicks out this time, trying to gain some control over her opponent. Pulling herself up, Valerie uses a tug of hair and mask to lever Genérico back into the ropes. She then pushes El Chica Genérico off, across the ring and drives a knee into the gut, Genérico sent somersaulting over the knee from the momentum and force. That allows Valerie to quickly tag in Constance, who hurries into the ring and applies a quick rear chinlock to stop Genérico from reaching her corner and tagging in Jade Rodez.

COLE
There's the added advantage of tag team experience. As soon as Valerie had the chance, she rushed over to tag, while Genérico seemed to take longer to realise the situation.

LEON
Probably because she's foreign.

COLE
...

Bringing Genérico up in the chinlock, Constance levers her lighter opponent easily down into a side headlock, wrenching on the move. Constance begins to turn, until her back is to the referee, allowing to to sneakily jam a closed fist into Genérico's face. Down to her knees goes Genérico, Constance briefly pleading innocence before clubbing Genérico in the spine with a forearm. And a second. Turning to Jade, Constance sneers before then hitting a third, hard forearm strike that leaves Genérico writhing. Constance then pulls Genérico up, sliding behind her opponent and executing a quick, high angle back suplex. Ending up folded on her neck and shoulders, Genérico rides the imaginary bicycle from the growing pain in her upper back, while Constance taunts Jade. Jade thinks about coming in, but for some reason stops short. Constance turns back to Genérico, throwing her back by the legs and rolling her to her feet, before whipping The Generic Lady Luchador forward into the ropes. Ducking under a back elbow, Genérico suddenly finds a burst of speed. But as she rebounds off the ropes, Constance charges right at her, catching Genérico high with a Harley Race knee to the chest! Down drops Constance, attempting a pin...


1...



2...


Kickout.

COLE
Smart pin attempt, keeping the pressure on El Chica Genérico at all times.

Bringing Genérico to her feet, Constance keeps her opponent close at hand while tagging in Valerie. The two discuss strategy as they make the switch, both grabbing an arm of Genérico and whipping her to arms length, before dragging her back spine first into the turnbuckles! Constance then leaves, as Valerie snapmares Genérico out of the corner to a seated position. Climbing to the middle rope, Valerie then drops the short distance to Genérico, driving her knee down into the Mexican's spine in simple but effective fashion!

COACH
These Angels seem to be working on grounding Genérico, rather than focusing on a particular area of the body. Neck, chest, back, it's all hurting now for Genérico.

RODEZ
To be honest, I think they're just toying with her more than anything.

COLE
It may be. They certainly looked very confident when Genérico came out as the partner.

Jade can only watch on frustration, as Valerie pulls up the aching Genérico and scoop slams her to the canvas. A loud, Mexican groan can be heard as Genérico writhes on the canvas, while Valerie plays with her hair a little, trying to fix it up to her liking. Valerie then goes back over to Genérico, grabbing her behind the head and pulling her back up. Casual as can be, Valerie scoops up Genérico and plants her with a second scoop slam. A smile creeps over her face as she then turns to the crowd, showing off TEH GUNZ~! for all to see.

RODEZ
Wow, would you look at those!

COLE
Pretty good muscles, I'll admit.

RODEZ
I wasn't talking about her muscles...

COLE
Oh.

Finishing up her flexing, Valerie helps Genérico to her feet before firing off a forearm, snapping Genérico's head back violently. Genérico stumbles back a few steps, as Valerie strides in with a second forearm. Confidently, Valeria then wastes a moment to confer with Constance, before going for another forearm. Genérico is waiting though, beating her to the strike by snapping off a quick standing dropkick! Away crashes Valerie, as Genérico lumbers back up, trying to get towards her corner. Valerie gains her bearings quickly enough to stop Genérico though, clinging onto her ankle to prevent the tag being made. Hopping on one foot, Genérico is so desperatly close, Jade reaching as far as physically possible, her small stature forcing her to climb onto the bottom rope and lean in. Valerie enventually manages pull Genérico away though, hooking her down with a clothesline on the way.

COACH
Aw, man, so close!

Valerie quickly scrambles to her corner, tagging in Constance, who wastes no time in rushing into the ring and grabbing Genérico. Coming to her feet, Genérico wrings the arm to get behind Constance, before leapfrogging over the bemused Constance. As Genérico lands however, Constance catches her quickly, applying a waistlock. Genérico frantically reaches for the ropes close beside her, but Constance deadlifts Genérico, dragging her away from the ropes. Before then setting, arching back and sending Genérico tumbling over her head with a quick German suplex!! Genérico tumbles through, to her knees before slumping onto her back. Constance sees it, but is far too casual in crawling on her knees to make the cover...



1...



2...



BROKEN UP BY JADE!

"YYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"

Jade scampers back to her corner, grabbing her tagrope before the referee can give her a hard time. The look of fury on Constance's face is clear though as she stands up, looking down at the motionless Genérico...before spinning on her heels and SLAPPING the taste out of Jade's mouth!!

"OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!"

Constance jigs away, already warning the referee that she's about to be attacked, as the inexperienced Rodez rushes into the ring to try and gain some retribution, only to be held at bay by the referee.

LEON
Aw yeah, you done gone done did it now!

COLE
Well, Jade Rodez has been fired up...and she's making a mistake here, distracting the referee...and, look at this, Valerie in as well now! The Minnesota Angels are double teaming El Chica Genérico!

Indeed, both Valerie and Constance are in the ring now and putting the boots to Genérico, taking advantage of the fiesty Jade (as I'm sure many men well in the coming years, lolz0rs!) and the referee's distraction. Eventually, Jade is forced back to the apron by the referee. Valerie and Constance, veteran tag team wrestlers, are well aware and make their switch in comfortable time, complete with fake tag which the referee hears but obviously does not see. 

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Valerie is back in now and pulls Genérico to her feet, stepping behind The Generic Lady Luchador in back suplex position. Instead of dropping back, Val turns Genérico towards the corner and sits her on the top turnbuckle, holding Genérico up so she doesn't fall back just yet. With Genérico up top, Valerie turns her back to Genérico, holding her in hang(wo)man's neckbreaker position. Desperately Genérico fires off side elbows in an attempt to escape the move, doing so eventually and causing Valerie to stumble away. Grabbing the top rope, Genérico is able to sit up, sitting herself on the top turnbuckle. Suddenly, Valerie shakes off the cobwebs and charges with a double axehandle into the spine of Genérico to leave her winded up top again. Valerie flicks her hair from her eyes before then climbing to the middle rope, running a thumb across her throat. Again, Genérico begins to throw the right elbows, dazing Valerie...and eventually, causing her to crash back off the ropes and to the canvas! Valerie falls beside the buckles, allowing Genérico to stand on the top rope...before suddenly dropping, using the top rope to vault off with her thighs, landing on Val with a Split Legged Moonsault...


1...



2...

Kickout.

Damaged by the move, Genérico holds her ribs, again searching for the tag. Valerie searches for the tag too, further from her corner than Genérico's. So she changes plan, clutching Genérico by the ankle and preventing her progress. Valerie then grabs the hair too, using it to pull her up. Applying a front facelock, Valerie looks to buy herself some time before wheeling around towards her corner. Genérico grabs the legs to stop Valerie though, eventually tripping the legs from out underneath. Valerie falls flat on her back, as Genérico floats over with a jacknife pinfall...


1...


2...


Valerie shows greats strength, bridging up and twisting Genérico around into a backslide...



1...



2...


Genérico rolls through, coming her feet in front of Valerie. With an angry growl, Valerie throws a running forearm. But she telegraphs it, Genérico vaulting over top with a leapfrog, tumbling forwards as she lands and diving into a tag to Jade Rodez!!


"YYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
TAG! HERE COMES JADE!

LEON
Here we go! C'mon sis!!

Climbing into the ring, Rodez makes a beeline for the stunned Valerie, just charging through her with a clothesline! Valerie staggers straight back up, right into another clothesline! Sensing trouble for the Minnesota Angels, Constance scrambles in. She too takes a clothesline from Jade though, who is ON FIYAH~! Up stagger The Angels. Jade snaps a boot into Valerie's gut, then a boot into Constance's. Both double over, as Jade grabs two handsfuls of hair...messing up the precious, Minnesota locks...before sending the Minnesota heads together with the almighty Double Noggin Knocker~!

LEON
Hey, she did watch that Hogan tape I gave her!

COACH
You gave her a Hogan tape?

LEON
Yeah man! Where'd you think I learnt the 450 from? C'mon Jade, start Rodezing Up!

Valerie and Constance stumble around, from both the collission of the heads and the fact Jade's offense is coming so unexpectedly for the overly confident duo. Quickly, Jade grabs Constance and pitches her out of the ring. Jade then grabs Valerie behind the head, slamming a forearm into the side of the head. Two more quick forearms follow, enough to leave Valerie dazed at least. Jutting out her chin, Jade dares Valerie to take a shot. Valerie groggily obliges, but Jade ducks the forearm and *SLAPS* Valerie with an Asschop!! Jade then grabs an arm, pitching Valerie into the ropes with an irish whip. Again, Jade swings out with a clothesline. This time Valerie sees it coming and ducks, all ready to point to her cranium and brag of how smart she is. Until that is El Chica Genérico dives into picture, connecting with a flying leg lariat that causes Valerie to land folded up on her head and her right shoulder!!

"YYYEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH!!"

GENÉRICO
OLE~!

Genérico fires up the crowd. Jade taps her on the shoulder though, pointing out to the recovering Constance on the floor and encouraging her opponent to "do the flippy thing".

COACH
OH NOZ, NOT TEH FLIPPY THING!!

Nodding hurriedly and with a couple of "Si"s, Genérico rushes over to where Constance stands, exiting to the apron. Constance looks dazed, staring up with some apparant vision problems, as Genérico leaps to the top rope and tumbles back with the Arabian Press Suicidá (Split Legged Moonsault to the floor), wiping out Constance!!

COLE
Beautiful move! And that leaves Jade alone with Valerie for the moment.

Still lying in an awkward position, Valerie is pulled to her feet. Jade throws a couple more forearm strikes, before attempting another irish whip. Valerie spins through, coming face to face with Jade momentarily and dragging her forward. She then ducks her head, ready to attempt a Northern Lights Suplex. Jade instinctively grabs the rope behind her to block, firing up knees into the chest of Valerie until she relents. As Valerie comes up Jade then pulls Valerie into a side headlock, pointing to the far turnbuckle as she breaks into a run. Diving forward, Jade attempts a bulldog as she approaches the middle of the ring. Somehow Valerie puts on the brakes and shows great strength though, able to lean back and eventually take Jade back and into a back suplex position, before turning to the side and planting Jade with a Blue Thunder Bomb!! Jade automatically rolls off her shoulder from the impact, but Valerie pulls her back and hooks in the sunset pin...


1...



2...




KICKOUT!

"YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"

Frustrated, Valerie collapses backwards and slaps the mat with her hands. Jade is hurting, still without a naturally built immunity to hitting the canvas properly built up, meaning she feels the effects of the Blue Thunder more than most.

LEON
Okay, that wasn't in the gameplan.

COLE
And Jade looks hurt. Jade is going to have to show some of the heart that you regularly have in your illustrious career, Leon.

LEON
If I wasn't so nervous and so straight, I'd kiss you Michael.

Valerie drags Jade up, noticing that she's holding the back of her neck and slamming a couple of elbows down across the body part. Jade drops to all fours, a smile emerging on Valerie's face as she looks down on her opponent with destain. She then pulls Jade back up. Cranking on the neck, Valerie slowly twists herself back to back with Jade, falling back with a Rude Awakening! Jade again holds her neck, as Valerie lounges back on Jade...


1...



2...




KICKOUT!

"YYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

This time, Valerie takes issue with the count, refusing to believe that a mere trainee would kickout at 2 on a fair count. Valerie then climbs back to her feet, bringing Jade slowly up.

"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"

Valerie reacts violatily to the chants, taking her frustrations out on Jade with another elbow to the back of the cranium. Falling to her knees, Jade shoots for a leg, but too weakly to trouble Val. She kicks Jade off, brushing her boot across the face of Jade before pulling her back up again. A hard forearm leaves Jade reeling. A second forearm has her staggered, allowing Valerie to take a step back, measuring a harder third forearm that knocks Jade off her feet. The lack of in-ring time is showing for J-Ro right now, as she's a sitting duck. Valerie backs off the ropes, leaping high with a legdrop across the throat. Cradling a leg, Valerie keeps her leg across the throat and packages Jade up...



1...



2...




KICKOUT AGAIN!

"YYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!"

LEON
There we go sis!

COLE
Valerie is looking more and more frustrated by the second as Jade Rodez clings desperately on in this match.

Hugely frustrated, as she rips off her right elbowpad, tossing it to the canvas and screaming at Jade to get up. Out on the floor, Genérico and Constance continue to brawl around ringside, leaving Jade and Val to it. Jade grits her teeth and pulls herself up, bad neck and all. As she reaches her feet, Valerie meets her, reaching around with a knee to the gut. Over doubles Jade, as Val grabs the arm, reaching through and lacing it through Jade's legs into a pumphandle position. Smiling, Valerie gives the signal for the end. Valerie reaches back, hooking up the second arm before lifting. And finding the not too slender Jade Rodez a tough person to lift. Jade kicks her feet just to make it that bit harder. From nowhere, Jade then counters, hiptossing Valerie over the back. Valerie clings onto the holds on the arms though, pulling Jade down into a Pumphandle style Oklahoma Roll...



1...



2...



Jade shoots her free shoulder up at 2 and 3/4s! Both women scramble up, Val already prepared with her padless arm, throwing an elbow strike. Jade beats her to it with a knee to the gut though, before taking the arm and pulling it into a cobra clutch!

LEON
She must have watched that Sgt Slaughter tape I gave her!

COACH
You gave her a Sgt Slaughter tape?

LEON
Yeah, where'd you think I learnt my 450 from?

COLE
I thought it was Hulk Hogan?

LEON
Hulk Hogan? What the hell are you smoking, Mickey? Yeesh!

Flailing around in the cobra clutch, Valerie tries to grab whatever ropes she can get to. Valerie is unable to get there though. Jade pulls Val into the centre of the ring, cobra clutch still applied. Leaning her opponent forward, Valerie leaves Jade hanging with the blood rushing to her head to add to he sapping effects of the hold. Suddenly, Jade then yanks Valerie back, dropping to one knee and bringing Valerie across the knee with a Cobra Clutch Backbreaker!!

"YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"

LEON
...

COLE
What a move!

LEON
...okay, I sure didn't teach her that.

Jade seems too busy worrying about her neck as Valerie lies motionless beside her, the crowd screaming at J-Ro to get on her. Which eventually she does, making a desperate lateral press, presence of mind to hook a leg...



1...



2...



KICKOUT!

"OOOOHHHHHHHH!!"

Groans fill the crowd, despite Valerie being out pretty comfortably.

COLE
Only 2. Jade is showing us something here though. Remember, this is her first actual wrestling match and she's sticking in there with Valerie and Constance, albeit it by the skin of her teeth at times.


"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"

As Valerie gets to her feet, Jade ignores the pain and scoops her up, with a women's style scoop slam. I.e, very basic. Still, it keeps Valerie down, as Jade stands clutching her neck again. Jade then hits the ropes, looking to capitalise on her grounded opponent. She suddenly clatters face-first to the canvas though, as Constance trips her leg from the outside out of view of the referee!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

The crowd get on Constance's case, as she tries to look as innocent as possible when questions from the referee come her way. Constance rolls into the ring as Jade pulls herself up, clotheslining her from behind. Down goes Jade, holding her neck, as Constance checks on Valerie. Once she's sure her partner is okay, she then turns around...



...to find El Chica Genérico hurtling through the air, catching Constance's head between her legs as she flashes past, bringing her around and down with a Flying Hurricanrana!!

COLE
Magnifico!

RODEZ
Si.

COACH
...uhm...err...HOLLA~!

Genérico hops back to her feet. But before she gain her bearings, Valerie is back up and charging. Hooking her arm around Genérico's throat, Valerie lunges, bringing her down across her knee with an STO into a Backbreaker! Rolling around in agony, Genérico seems to be taken care of, so Valerie drags Jade up from the canvas. On is slapped a front facelock, Valerie shakes, rattles and rooolllss...but her momentum takes the move too far, Jade rolling all the way through the neckbreaker and pushing Valerie off. Stumbling backwards, Val puts on the brakes and tries for her STO/Backbreaker move again. Jade ducks under the arm though, waiting for Valerie to turn around before firing off a quick, sudden and totally unexpected Gamengiri (Front Enziguri to the face)!!! Valerie is knocked loopy, the crowd going nuts as the hurting Rodez drops on top with a pinfall...



1...




2...




LEGDROP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD FROM CONSTANCE!!

"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

LEON
Damnit!

COLE
The referee has lost complete control of this match here!

Jade remains slumped over Valerie. But Constance grabs her by the hair and pulls Jade off of her partner, bringing her to her knees and placing her in a standing headscissors. The crowd know what's coming and will El Chica Genérico to get up and make a save. But she's under the bottom rope, writhing in agony.

Allowing Constance to butterly the arms, lifting Jade up with some noticeable effort before placing her hands over the thighs of Jade...



*WHAM!*


...and SPIKING her with the Package Piledriver!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Jade jumps off the canvas, not through her own accord of course, crumpling onto her back motionless. From there, it's academic...


1...



2..



3!

*DINGDINGDING*

The bell rings as Constance pushes herself to her knee, a wry smile disguising her obvious surprise at the fight this young trainee has put up tonight, a slight shake of the head visible as she rolls away. Constance takes Valerie by the arm and drags her from the ring, the duo making their exit, before El Chica Genérico can get near them to make a belated save.

BUFFER
Your winner of this contest...THE MINNESOTA... AAAANNGGEEELLLSSSSSSS!!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

COLE
Well, a brave fight put up by Jade Rodez but in the end, experience told.

LEON
That's cool. I'll tell you what Michael, she might not have won, but right now I'm proud as punch with my little sis. Two months and change of training, on top of a couple of months a couple of years ago...and she gave one hell of a performance. She didn't give up, she showed real fight, she used a cobra frikking clutch which was pure awesomeness. It's all about paying dues and learning lessons...and tonight, she did both.

COLE
Well, Leon, we'll let you go and check on your sister, but thanks for joining us tonight.

LEON
Aw, no problem Mickey. Coach...peace out, a-town down, YAY-UH~!

COACH
WORD~!

Leon leaves Sofa Central, rolling into the ring and checking on his sister with Genérico. The Minnesota Angels have their win and are back to looking smug and cocky as ever. But they know they've been in a fight tonight and they don't boast too much as they leave. Well...okay, maybe they do. But they were in a fight. As The Angels leave meanwhile, Jade is helped to her feet by Genérico and Leon, held up as she grabs her neck with a big grimace on her face...



...to applause from the fans.

COLE
These OAOAST fans showing their appreciation for a gutsy effort. And in 2 or 3 months, with a little more training and some in-ring seasoning, there's no reason why Jade Rodez can't be a major player in the Women's Division.
