Jessica Alba hadn’t been able to get it off her mind. Just a short while ago, she had been confronted by the most incredible looking woman she had ever seen. She couldn’t help but wonder what it would have been like to have stayed there. Victoria Silvestedt had turned her so on so fast that she couldn’t help but wonder what could have been. She hadn’t mentioned the encounter to Jessica Biel, her friend and tag-team partner for the weekend tournament. Biel had inquired about Alba’s interest in women before and Alba had let her know that her only interest sexually was in men. Biel told her she felt the same way, but wanted to make sure that their relationship wasn’t intended to be something else. It was Alba, after all, who had approached Biel about the idea of teaming up for the tournament. But even though Alba saw Biel for the incredibly sexy woman she is, she had been able to conduct herself in a friendly, but not too friendly manner as their friendship had grown. It seemed as though they had known each other forever, but why wouldn’t it? Roughly the same age, they had both been involved with their celebrity lives about the same amount of time. They were very similar people and their friendship just came very naturally. Victoria was different, though. A little older, taller and far more intimidating, Jessica wondered if she really saw Silvestedt as a sex object. Victoria, after all, made it clear in no uncertain terms that she felt an attraction to Alba. She was just so intimidated by Victoria and couldn’t understand it. She shook it off. Her match was coming up next and she needed to focus.
Before the last match, the PA announcer informed the crowd that the Saturday tag-team tournament match-ups were set. Leading it off with 10am match, Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel would be matched up with Brooke Burns and Kim Smith. The 11am match would pit Kristanna Loken and Sarah Foster against Rachel Bilson and Christina Aguilera. The noon match would see Brittney Spears and Josie Maran face off against Ali Larter and Shannon Elizabeth. At one o’clock, Susan Ward and Kelly Carlson would match up against Jessica Simpson and Eliza Dushku. At 4pm, the winners of the first two matches would wrestle, followed by the second two winners at 5. At 7pm, the championship match would occur, right before the evening’s main event (Carmen Electra and Pam Anderson in a no submission match).
As Alba started out of the dressing room to head to the ring, Biel looked at her, “Burns and Smith? No points between them so far? Looks like a good draw for us. We’ll get the most rest, too. I like it.”
Alba replied, “Well, let’s don’t get to cocky. We really don’t know what anyone’s got yet. Let’s just make sure we handle our business. Victoria might be pretty tough.” And with that, she headed out, leaving her partner to wonder what Victoria had to do with the tournament.
Now in the ring, both competitors look ready for the last match of the evening. In fact, these are the last two wrestlers to compete in their first match. On paper, the match-up of Jessica Alba and Josie Maran looks very competitive. Both are 5’7, about the same age. Josie, in fact, looks a lot like Jessica. Alba has really taken this tournament very seriously and although Josie has, too, Jessica was in excellent shape when she started training. Josie trained her way into incredible shape, but the power edge here will be decidedly Alba’s. Without any other discernable factors tilting Maran’s way, I look for Alba to take a hard-fought match. The wrestlers are stretching in their corners, readying themselves after the ref’s conference. Jessica is wearing a white string bikini that contrasts nicely with her bronzed body. Every move she makes you can see the muscle fibers tense and release. Josie looks just as incredible in a silver bikini, the top of which crosses over her ample bosom, accentuating her lovely breasts. The crowd roars as the ref starts the match and the girls lock up in the center of the ring.
Josie quickly seizes an advantage, slapping a side-headlock on her opponent. Jessica lifts Josie in the air in an attempt to slam her backwards, but Josie leans forward, shifting the balance and flips Alba onto her back, maintaining the headlock. Jessica stomps her foot in disgust, foiled in her attempt to break the hold, and starts to get back to her feet. Josie allows her to get both of them back up, leaning on Jessica and making her carry the weight of both women. Jessica pushes Josie forward sending her into the ropes and Josie obliges, bouncing off and throwing a shoulder block into Jessica, knocking her back to the mat. She grabs Alba by the hair, forcing her back up and right back into the side headlock.
Alba, frustrated at her efforts so far, slaps her open hand down on Josie’s right thigh. Josie responds by cranking a little more pressure in to the headlock. Again, Jessica’s right hand slaps Josie’s thigh. And again, and again. In fact, as Josie continues the hold, Jessica repeats the slap 12 times, finally causing a pained Josie to consider switching things up. She twists again, flipping Jessica right back to the mat and leaning into the headlock, which she still holds. Jessica is starting to feel more effected by the hold, initially an irritation, as she now feels a pain in her neck and a pounding pain in her head. She, again, starts the two of them back to a standing position, Josie leaning in and forcing her to carry all the weight.
As the get back to their feet, Jessica again slaps the same spot on Josie’s thigh. A bruise is already starting to form there and a second slap doesn’t make it feel any better. Josie starts to consider releasing the hold as a third slap lands in the same spot, but before she can, Jessica lifts her up and this time is able to drop her hard to the mat as she falls back. Josie releases the hold and rolls, her back feeling a dull pain. Jessica, finally free of the headlock sits up and tries to shake the pain in her head. It doesn’t go away, though, and she gets to her feet anyway, turning to find her opponent.
Josie gets to her feet at the same time a Jessica, but neither moves in towards the other. Jessica can see the bruise on Josie’s leg and wonders if that is enough to deter her from going for the headlock again. She lifts her hand in an invitation to a test of strength and Josie follows suit. They lock hands in the center of the ring and Jessica quickly seizes the upper hand. As she bends Josie’s hands back, she forces her to a knee. She steps in leveraging her wrists as far back as they’ll go and stepping up the severity of the predicament Josie’s in. She then quickly steps around Josie, crossing her arms across her throat. She shoves Josie to the mat on her stomach, then yanks back on her hands painfully lifting her torso from the mat. Pain explodes in Josie’s back as she is being choked out with her own arms. As her face turns beat red, she submits and Jessica releases the hold, allowing Josie to take in some much-needed oxygen.
Jessica paces like a caged lion as she awaits the restart. As it’s signaled, Josie is on her hands and knees, still trying to get her wind back. Jessica walks up and kicks her square in the right rib cage, flipping her over to her back. As Josie lies on her back in pain, Jessica raises her foot and stomps down on her mid section, again driving the air from her body. As Josie covers her belly, Jessica puts her foot on her throat, choking off her air supply yet again. The ref counts 4 and Jessica lifts her foot, stomping down on Josie’s chest, this time. Josie covers up again as Jessica leans down and yanks her back to her feet using her hair. As Alba lifts her foe to her feet, she steps behind her and drives a fist into the right rib cage. She then leads her to the corner, driving her head into the turnbuckle. Josie is trying to work out some kind of escape plan as Jessica puts her right arm over the top rope and secures her wrist. As she holds Maran’s wrist in her left hands, Jessica drives her right fist into her ribs. Once, twice, a third time. She’s punching her over and over, landing 7 blows before the ref breaks them up. As he scolds Jessica, she steps past him and drives her knee into the same spot, leaving it there to drive home the pain. The ref starts a count and Jessica releases.
Josie is still leaning into the corner, arm draped over the rope as Jessica goes back to the rib punches. The ref only allows three before he steps in again, chastising Alba who responds by dragging Maran back out of the corner. As they get to the center of the ring, Jessica lifts Josie up and drops her across her knee right on the same ribs. Josie moans in pain, but she can’t stop the abuse. Jessica maintains her grip on Josie, lifts her again and repeats the move. She seems intent on breaking Josie’s ribs as, in an incredible display of strength, she lifts her once again and drives the ribs down on her knee. This time, she releases Josie and allows her to roll to the mat, clutching her ribs and wincing in pain.
Josie is curled up, laying on her left side and clutching her sore ribs as Jessica rises and stomps her heel into her right thigh. She catches the same bruised spot she created earlier bringing another cry of pain from Josie. She grabs Josie’s hair, now, and jerks her back to her feet, again moving in behind her prey. This time, she bends Josie into a vicious abdominal stretch, exposing that right ribcage area again. As she maintains the hold, she starts driving her fist into the ribs. Josie screams a second submission and collapses to the mat as the hold is released. Jessica again paces during the break, clearly agitated.
At the ref’s signal, Jessica pounces on her fallen foe, forcing her into a seated position and again staying behind her. She leans Josie’s head and shoulders forward and drops a knee into her back. Keeping her in the same position, she repeats the move two more times. She the slides her arms under Josie’s and locks her up in a full-nelson. As Josie squirms, trying to break the hold, Jessica locks in a leg-scissors, deliberately focusing the force of the squeeze on the rib area. Josie screams again, being driven past the limits of her threshold for pain. Again, she submits, chalking up a 3rd point for Jessica, who again, releases the hold immediately. As Jessica gets back to her feet, Josie staggers to try and get to hers and move to a corner. By the time the ref signals the restart, Josie has a hold of the ropes, but isn’t to her feet yet.
Jessica moves in after her opponent again, looking to rack the points up, but before she gets to Josie, she slips out of the ring in desperate need of a time out. Jessica looks frustrated, but she backs away, allowing the ref to start his count. He gets to tem before Jessica grows tired of waiting and slides out of the ring to go after Josie. Maran sees Alba leave the ring slides back in. As Jessica follows suit, a partially recovered Josie stomps on Jessica’s head. Jessica finishes getting back in as Josie stomps again, this time landing her foot in the small of Jessica’s back. Angered, Jessica starts to get to her feet and as she does, Josie lifts a knee right into her stomach, driving the air from her lungs. Jessica stumbles back and falls through the ropes, right back to the floor with her shoulders and the back of her head catching the brunt of the fall.
Jessica struggles back to her feet, head pounding with pain. As she looks to the ring, Josie flies out in a baseball slide kicking Jessica in the head. Back to the floor with a thud goes Alba as Maran has taken momentum. She jerks Jessica off the floor and slams her head into the ring apron before rolling her back in. Alba starts seeing rings around everything as Josie grabs her hair again, yanking her up and taking her to the corner. Once there, Josie drives her head into the turnbuckle. Again she repeats the move, slamming her head 5 times before relenting. Now she turns Jessica and starts to whip her into the opposite corner. As she starts to release her, though, Jessica grabs Josie and reverses, sending her into the ropes.
Josie’s back slams into the corner and her arms flop over the top rope. She is surprised by Jessica’s resilience, figuring her to be out on her feet by now. Alba approaches. Looking to take advantage of Josie’s surprise, but as she closes in, Josie launches herself up and catches Alba’s head between her legs. She swings out of the corner, dragging Jessica over, slamming her to her back and sliding her across the ring. As she lands, though, Josie jostles her ribs enough to feel the effect of the earlier assault there. She winces as she gets to her feet and is surprised to see that Jessica, too, is back up. She isn’t approaching, but she’s on her feet looking ready to go, though still half out of it.
Josie approaches cautiously as she isn’t sure just how hurt Jessica may be. She attempts to go back to the side headlock, but before she can tighten it up, Jessica slips out, grabbing Josie’s right ankle and taking her down. She kicks Josie in the thigh a couple of times, reminding her of that pain. Then, Jessica steps over Josie, grabs the other ankle and sits back in a Boston crab hold. As she locks Josie’s legs in, Jessica leans as far back as she can go really wrenching her back. After about 30 seconds of torture, Josie submits for a fourth time. Again, Jessica mercifully releases the hold.
During the break, Josie gets to her feet yet again, impressing Jessica. She had no idea that Josie could take so much abuse and still manage to give a little, too. As the ref signals restart, Jessica moves in. She notices that Jodie doesn’t have very much mobility as it has all been sapped away by the numerous holds Jessica has used to score submissions. She steps in towards Josie and finds herself in the business end of a front face-lock. Jessica is shocked as she thought Josie was finally done. Now her head is starting to pound again and she can’t believe she’s allowed herself to get worked over again. Josie cranks the hold tighter, trying to take the fight from her opponent when she feels herself being driven back. Jessica has channeled her anger and is driving Josie back into a corner.
As the wind is knocked from her lungs upon hitting the corner, Josie releases her hold on Jessica. Alba responds by sending her shoulder into Josie’s belly again and again. The ref finally starts a count, and as he reaches 4, Jessica relents after her 7th repetition. Not wanting to take anything for granted, she steps back and kicks Josie in the thigh. Afterwards she moves in and lifts her knee into the right ribcage. Two more similar shots and she flips Josie out of the corner, on to her back using her hair. As Josie sits defenselessly in front of Jessica, she feels her opponent’s arms snake around her head. Jessica locks a sleeper hold on to Josie and twists her away from the ref. As the ref tries to get in front of Josie, Alba continues to try and block his view. After about 45 seconds of this dance keeping up, Josie is trying to submit, but she can’t make the words come out. Finally, she furiously taps the may, realizing the life is slowly draining from her. The ref awards the tap-out submission, but Jessica continues the hold, prompting a four-count that had been delayed by the ref’s expectation that Jessica would release.
At the count of four, Jessica has Josie in a seated position in front of her. Josie is clearly out of it, though she looks to be trying still to get up and away from Jessica, who doesn’t move. As the ref signals the restart, Jessica again locks the sleeper on to Josie. Not hardly recovered from the first one, Josie’s arms go limp immediately and her face is expressionless. The ref asks if she submits, but no response. He starts to lift her arms, but Jessica interrupts, laying Josie down on her back and pinning her with one hand on her chest. The ref counts the three without Josie moving an inch. Jessica is awarded the match and 15 points, while Josie, while fighting valiantly, earns no points.
Jessica slaps Josie awake, much to the defeated warrior’s surprise. “It’s over, Josie”, she says. “I might have won the match, but you made a hell of an impression. Thanks for the tough match and good luck the rest of the way.”
With that, Jessica leaves the ring. Jessica Biel greets her at the top of the ramp and gives her a hug. “Great match, Jessica. I knew you had her.” The two of them walk off and given a few minutes to recover, Josie follows suit, ending night two of Celebrity Wrestling.
