Erica vs Beth
By TomAce

Beth was new to town. She was going to university in a smaller town and this was her first time moving away from home. She had just settled into her new place which was her first priority and now onto her second, find a gym. She has been wrestling for about 4 years now and has gotten quite good at it. One advantage of growing up in a bigger city was as you learn the ropes of wrestling, you get lots of experience seeing many different competitors and also competing against them. The first 2 years were basically training all week, then getting owned in her league match on the weekend, unless she was matched against another rookie like herself. In those cases she usually did quite well. This repeated itself for quite a while until one day she started winning sometimes, then more regularly. Going into a smaller town she has heard the competition isn’t so tough, softer if anything. She looked up the local wrestling groups and was quite hopeful things would work in her favour. The division she registered for was a paid amateur’s league. This league you could make some money as the audience had to pay admission. Certainly beat getting a part time job while in university. This league was a local favourite. It was meant for girls looking to make a name for themselves and earn some money. From the limited research she did, it had a great variance of skill level. Some girls just wrestled for the love of it, some were getting started in the sport, many took it very serious trying to work their way up, and there were even a few “destroyers” who were top level athletes who were here for the practice. It had 2 belts, a championship belt and a tag team belt. There were 36 wrestlers registered in it. Some fought once a week, some once a month. The ones competing more often were looking to maybe make a career in this field, while the one a month were mostly semi-retired but still had a love for the sport. There were 2 nights a week where matches were scheduled and the cards opened up for matches a few weeks in advance. One of the best parts of the league is that tickets were sold to all events. You were able to hand out flyers or use your social media, and for each person that paid the 10 dollar entry fee, you got $4.00, your opponent $2 and both the host gym and your training gym also got $2 apiece. This worked great for Beth as she learned a lot about promoting herself in the larger city. After watching one event which had 8 matches and an audience of about 40 fans, she worked out a plan that she felt would work for her. The girls she saw seemed like complete amateurs, and she was planning on giving them a lesson. She knew some of the “destroyers” and experienced girls would know their way around a ring, but the matches she saw finished with a ddt or a simple submission. They would not be so lucky against her, as she need to create some excitement to make a local name for herself, and to makes some money. A gym that was walking distance had 6 regular competing girls in the league she registered and a handful of part timers. She talked to the gym coach, Kristy, and was heading there today to meet the girls she would be training with and also competing against at times. There were two sisters, Monika and Maya as well as Eve, Tracy, Erica and Tammy. Beth wrestled with them for a few days, mainly letting them throw her around slightly. The girls seemed like a lot of fun and she hoped they would be friends outside of the ring and not take what happens in the ring personal. After practice it was time to put her plan in motion. She got the whole group together after practice, as well of the coach to propose something.
“Alright every one. Thanks for hearing me out. I was hoping you girls would help me out. I want lock in a schedule of 3 fights over the next 3 events. I want to promote it at the university, and then hopefully attendance would increase week after week earning us more money. This where you guys come in! I would like to compete against 3 of you. We could go and promote it together. Get some excitement built and then basically see who the better woman is in the ring. What do you guys think?” Beth asked.
Erica was the first to speak up. “Are you sure you want to do this. I mean most girls only compete once a week, sometimes every 2 weeks, and you want to compete 3 times in a row. I am down go first with you, and go promote it with you as that sounds like fun. I just wanted to make sure you know what you’re getting into. We are all friends here but once inside that ring we competitors and we don’t take it easy on each other” she explained
“Awesome thanks so much Erica. I completely understand. We do what we have to do inside the ring. Will any of you other girls help me out for the other matches?” The older sister and Eve agreed to also be her opponent. Monika second and Eve last. This worked out good for Beth as Monika had about 20 pound weight advantage and but seemed less skilled, and Eve was not only the strongest but the tallest of the group. She would be quite a challenge at the end. “Thanks so much for the help girls. Please do not show any mercy or take it easy on me as I will be looking to put a hurt on you. We need to give the audience a great show to keep them coming back. Whether it’s at my expense or yours, everybody loves to see a good butt kicking. She hugged them all and then signed the papers to sign up for the matches. The first one with Erica was in 3 nights.
A few days later on the day of the event right after lunch Erica and Beth met up to hand out some flyers. Erica was a 19 year old who still lived at home. She was very attractive, had a slimmer build, long reddish hair which she usually put in 2 braids when she competed. Beth was 22, short black hair, and a bit stocky with some muscle on her. Beth could tell Erica was a bit shy so she would take the lead. It was going to be a uphill battle as even though wrestling was popular, they were not known and getting people to spend their money would be tough.. Beth approached a group of about 10
“Hi everybody. Any interested in seeing some good old fashion wrestling tonight. My friend Erica here and I will be competing against each other. U will get to see one of us get our asses kicked”. The group kind of chuckled. One spoke up.
"I haven’t seen wrestling in years. Seems like it’s a dying sport. Just out of curiosity which one of you is going to win” one asked.
Erica spoke first. “More than likely I will. I am no pushover and Beth is a complete rookie” she laughed while giving her a grin.
“I don’t think so. I am going to be winning this one I promise. I will own this girl from start to finish and u will see me finish in a way you have only seen on TV. I also promise a photo finish so bring your camera” Beth proclaimed.
A few of the group left and the others seemed somewhat interested but not convinced to spend their money. This is where Beth’s promoting came in.
“How about I make you a deal? I will give you each the half the entry fee in cash right now so you get a great show for half price. But you have to promise me if you like what u see, you will come to my next match 3 days later as well, and tell your friends so they come to” she offered. 7 guys took her up on her offer, shook both their hands and said good luck. Beth reminded them to sit as close as possible and to bring their phones for pictures. The two girls repeated this for another hour or so to other groups of people. At the end Beth gave out 150 dollars
“I sure hope you know what you’re doing”. Do you really think they will show up to see us wrestle? Erica asked.
“Of course they will. Everybody likes to see a pretty girl in white bikini get her butt kicked, especially for half price” she laughed. Erica laughed as well then grabbed Beth in a friendly headlock and started walking down a hall saying good luck with that. The two giggled then said see you tonight to each other as they planned to get the gym about an hour before the fights. There were 5 fights that night and they were the 3rd so they had a little extra warm up time
The two girls arrived at the gym together. They can hear the other matches as they each stretched in the locker room. Erica was wearing a white bikini while Beth had on a black one piece. They heard the match before there’s end. Kristy walked into the room with two girls from other gyms that just had a match with each other. It ended with a ddt. It was at kristy’s gym so she was the ref for all the matches. It was common for coaches of the gym where the even was being held to ref the matches. Kristy came and talked to the two girls.
“Alright girls you ready.” They both shook their head. “Ok remember, if on the ropes you get a 5 count. Winner is by submission, 3 count, or knockout. We got back 58 of your flyers and 10 brought a friend, as well as another 40 in the audience. That is a pretty great return girls. Let’s put on a good show for them”.
They all went to the ring where Kristy gave them introductions. They each waved to the guys that took Beth up on her offer and showed up with her flyer. They were sitting near the front. And with that the bell rang and the match had officially started. At this point they were not friends, just opponents.
They both circled the ring and locked up in the middle. Beth being stronger pushed Erica back into a corner. She let go and they backed away as Erica smiled as they looked at each other. “Next time it’s gonna hurt” Beth said smiling. They went to lock up again but this time Beth lifted her knee up and rammed it into Erica’s belly. The air rushed out of her and she went to the matt holding her belly. “Told ya” Beth said as she grabbed her braids and pulled her up only to give another knee to the belly to send her back down. She grabbed another handful of hair, dragged her up and pushed her against the ropes. Beth then swung her to the other side. Erica ran from one side of the ring, bounced off the ropes to be hit with a clothesline. She fell to matt on her back and was holding her neck. The match had just started but she knew she could be in some trouble. As she rolled around she saw Beth climb onto the corner turnbuckle and yell to the audience.
“What do you guys think? Who wants to see some more?” she yelled.
“We have seen clotheslines plenty before, show us something new. Show us some moves that will make that friend of yours not wanna get in the ring with you ever again” a fan yelled.
“Alright guys. That is what you paid for. Hope you know what you’re getting that red head into” Beth proclaimed. Erica heard most of that as she got to her knees. She looked to her left and saw her coach who was the ref look at her with a worried look. As soon as she got up to her feet she looked up to see Beth jumping from the turnbuckle and landing a double axe handle to her forehead. She fell to one knee, but that one hurt her and left her seeing some butterflies. Beth stood her up, swung her arm over her head and lifted her by her bikini bottoms for a suplex. This wasn’t one of those snap suplex they were used to seeing here. Once she got her over her head she held her there. The audience was now on their feet as they haven’t seen something like this live in a while. Beth could hear both the audience yell “put her down, put her down hard” and Erica mumble “no, no, no please don’t”. “Sorry girl. Got to give them their money’s worth so they come back for more”. Beth then went with the audience and dropped her down, not in the suplex they were expecting but a brainbuster. Erica head hit the matt hard, along with her body. The momentum had her sit up, then fall back down completely dazed. Beth walked around her ring with her hands up while the audience cheered and yelled for more.
Kristy looked away as Erica was hit with that brain buster. This was stuff they haven’t really practiced much, and was only really used by the “veterans”. Veterans in there league had a much larger arsenal of moves, but were slower and when they were hit with something it would affect them more which really even the playing field. It bothered her a bit seeing her hurt like that, but this was what she signed up for. Kristy looked at Beth and said “she looks finished. You can probably pin her now”.
“Sorry can’t do that” Beth replied. “We promised a good show and I need to deliver to get the fans coming back. There is a 20 min time limit and I am going to use it to show these people some new moves” she replied. Kristy sighed and nodded as she moved out of the way between Beth and her prey. Beth grabbed 2 braids of hair and dragged Erica up. Erica knew she was likely in trouble when Beth grabbed her hair. But one thing is for sure in wrestling; you can’t make a comeback or reverse the tide of the match lying on your back. When your opponent grabs your hair to get you to your feet. Even though more pain is likely to come, you always oblige. More pain is exactly what came. Another brain buster and a ddt left her seeing double. Now that Erica head was scrambled eggs it was time to work the rest of her body over. Erica was already lying on her back, so Beth decided a couple of leg drops across her neck were in order. She bounced off the ropes and jumped as high as she could with her leg coming down across Erica’s neck, she then repeated the process again. Erica was now coughing and trying to catch her breath. Beth once again walked around the ring engaging with the crowd. The crowd was really getting into it. The collage guys were enjoying watching that pretty girl they were talking to on campus take beating. Beth grabbed Erica’s feet and dragged her a bit close to one of the corners. She then climbed up, slapped her elbow a few times showing the audience that an elbow drop was coming. She leaped and her elbow landed right on the center of Erica’s chest. She saw Kristy run her hands through her hair with wide open eyes so she knew she landed it perfectly. Erica let out a few screams of pain as she rolled over holding her chest and kicking her legs. Beth wasn’t about to let up. She led Erica up by her head and slammed her head into the closest turnbuckle. Erica turned around and now had her arms around the ropes, breathing heavily and hanging there. Beth then rammed her shoulder into her belly….about 8 times. Erica now had her butt deep into the turnbuckle. Her bottoms now looked a bit like a thong. She was just hanging there.
“ Come on Beth, get her off those ropes, keep this match legal” Kristy pleaded. You have dominated this match from the start, I think it’s about time to end it’ she insisted
“Ok. I am just about ready to put my finishing touches on her.” She pulled Erica to the center of the ring without any resistant, grabbed her neck and turned her around setting her up for a neck breaker. Erica just stood there with her arms at her side pretty much waiting for the drop. The audience loved every second of it. Even the other wrestlers all stopped what they were doing to watch. This was a show they don’t see very often in there town. Beth dropped down with Erica’s neck in hand. Beth got up, Erica did not.
“Alright guys, My arms are getting a bit tired from dragging this poor girl around. Should I go about showing you how to finish a girl off” Beth yelled.
The audience was now standing and clapping to see how she ends it. Kristy walked around nervously as she didn’t want to see Erica hurt any more, but at the same time wanted the match to end. Kristy has been training Erica for years, but has never taught moves this destructive as they were never really used at this level by competitors of her age. After today everything will change as she will be teaching all this tomorrow otherwise her girls would be sent to the slaughterhouse every time they got in the ring with a competitor like Beth. She has seen her trainee taking beatings before, but not to this extent. This wasn’t just next level wrestling, but a couple levels. These moves were all completely legal so she couldn’t just stop the match. She was there to enforce the rules, which she has been doing. Beth grabbed a handful of hair and slowly dragged her to her feet. She was getting up more and more slowly. Her arms hung limp at the side of her body when she got to her feet. Beth the grabbed her waste, swung her upside down and got her ready for a tombstone piledriver. Erica wrapped her arms around Beth waste out of instinct. Erica has never been hit with a tombstone, but has seen the veterans use it a handful of times, and on tv plenty. Beth then dropped to her knees and Erica’s head hit the canvas with a thud. Kristy cringed as she saw it. But instead of it being over, Beth stood back up and dropped her for one more, then let go of her body as she flopped onto the matt. The audience absolutely loved it. Kristy gave Beth a stern look.
“It’s over. I know you both signed up for this but pin her already”. Kristy sternly said. Beth nodded and then did a text book leg pin while Kristy counted to 3. Kristy raised her hand and announced her as the winner and led her around the ring.
‘I just need to get a victory pose in before you check on her please, I promised that to quite a few” Beth explained to Kristy.
“That’s fine, you deserve it. Just make it quick.” Kristy replied. Beth put one leg on a motionless Erica and had Kristy raise her hand. There were many people taking pics with their cells. Kristy then quickly went down to check on Erica. Beth walked around the ring with her hands up while the audience applauded. She went down to the audience and shook her new found fans hands one by one till she walked all the way around the ring. Each person’s hand she shook promised to be back for the next match. After making her rounds she looked into the ring to see Kristy with Erica still lying down but starting to come to. Beth slid back into the ring to help her friend as well.
“What happened? Is it over” Erica asked.” My head hurts, my body hurts, pretty much everything hurts” she groaned.
“Yeah it’s over girl, let’s get you to the locker room” Kristy said. Kristy and Beth both helped her out of the ring and supported her back to the locker room.
“Sorry about that beating. I did what I had to in the ring to get some followers. I hope you understand, and I hope if we ever have a match again, and you get the upper hand you do the same” Beth said with a smile. Erica sat up from the bench she was lying on. She was still groggy but was now able to think and react.
“I understand. I honestly don’t even remember the whole match. I can only assumed you ragged doll me pretty much the whole time” she asked
“Yeah she did. It was a pretty amazing ass kicking lesson she taught. As of now we are going to be teaching everybody at our gym these moves, as everybody else who saw that match will be asking their coaches to do the same. If you can’t do some of those moves by next week, you’re going to be in trouble every time you step into that ring. I think the rest of the girls in your division are going to be pretty nervous about your friend Beth here” Kristy explained. The girls here are not use to moves with such force or destruction” Kristy explained
“All I can say is the ever popular saying in wrestling you get what you deserve. I wasn’t ready for a match of that level, I went in being cocky and I got the beating I deserved. Coach you’re going to have to train us with these high level moves so next time, maybe you’re the own lying here with a headache wondering what just happened” she said looking at Beth.
Beth smirked and said “when you’re ready for a rematch just let me know. For now I look forward to sparing with you, and have no problem dropping you on your head a few more times, only with pads and a nice thick matt. Can never have enough training!”
