Drake - KWF Tryout Match

Description: A tryout match to see who joins the Kamakize Wrestling Federation, pitting Domino against Rainbow Mika! The whole match is close, ending with Rainbow Mika scoring the pin via piledriver!



Months of fighting critters in Australia have finally prepared Rainbow Mika for this day! A chance to prove herself to her mentor, the one and only... the great Zangief! Scores of kangaroos and koalas are no match for the elation the blonde feels as she hangs up the phone with the Kamikaze wrestling federation in Japan. While it isn't the biggest or most prestigious fed that Japan boasts, it is a starting point in her career to becoming a professional wrestler, and what's more? The World's Best Female Professional Wrestler!
Mika's not certain whether or not it bodes well for her that the fed name actually means 'showing reckless disregard for safety or personal welfare' but! After fighting all those evil koalas with there razor-sharp teeth, she hardly doubts that a human is going to harm her half as much.
So it is, this bright sunny Thursday afternoon that she makes her way into the Kamikaze building (which surprisingly enough has an image of of a divebombing plane on it) and takes a look around. When her eyes fall upon the reception desk she bounces over to it and slaps down the papers they requested, including a release form should the try-out match be televised. "Here you go!"
The receptionist begins to look over the papers and then nods, motioning her to the back room where the ring is. "That's it?" Pigtails fall to the side as she tilts her head and then shrugs her shoulders before opening the door and stepping into the room.
WHAM!
First thing she notices? Bright shiny lights. Once her eyes adjust and she rubs them to get the flashy stars out of them, she spies commentator boxes, cameras and a few people sitting in chairs around a large cushy ring. "Oh... uh... am I in the right place?" Blink, blink.

It would seem so, as the moment Mika steps out, the commentators start talking. Or at least one of them does. A squat Japanese man with a very obvious bleach job done on what peach fuzz he has left for hair rifles through a stack of pepers, then stares directly at Mika.
"-Yes-," says the man, squinting his already-beady eyes at the blonde as though she were an extra-terrestrial.
Then the man's eyes zip to a camera directly in front of him, bright, empassioned smile on his face. "Good afternooooon, fight fans! Welcome to another rivetting day of KWF, non-stop action! I'm Tony Kanigawa, and beside me is Neal Demando, bringing the action to you LIVE! Our first match is a tryout for joining our fed - one fighter's gonna stay, the other's gotta go! And making her way to the ring now is our first contender-.." He pauses to look through his papers quickly.. then flashes another winning smile to the camera. "-Rainbow Mika! An untapped talent straight from Hokuriku!"

The camera feed switches to a close-up of Rainbow Mika, and her name gets displayed in a cartoony, multicolored font.

Tony's voice cuts over the feed. "Neal, as you know, this Rainbow Mika is going to be facing off against a male opponent. What do you think of that? Think she'll be outmatched?"

"Hard to say, Tony. Hard to say." Neal's voice comes across loud and clear while he moves some papers around and looks at the name of the second contender. "Rumor has it she's been training with Zangief, and that's got to give her an edge, but she's up against Domino who's been making quite the name for himself in the fighting circuit." Pausing as the cameras swing back to them, the gangly looking Japanese man gives a toothy grin and then continues, "Did you see him in his debut match on SNF? That kid can fight!"
Mika just stares at it all and then gives a hearty little wave before wandering toward the ring. Once there she slips up between the ropes and kips up to her feet and waves even more heartily to the meager crowd that's there. Then she tests the ropes for tautness and bounces back and forth between them in one corner. Anyone watching this is going to think she's quite odd, but knowing how bouncy things are may help her later on.

"That I did, Neal! And he's come all the way from the United States of America just to be with us for this event," Tony claims. "And he should be making his way out to the ring right now!"
And the camera turns its focus from Rainbow Mika to the entry way. Domino steps out, robe untied and hanging open over his torso. The hood, however, is pulled up over his visage, hiding his face. He starts down the runway in a jog, robe trailing out behind him. To the bottom of the camera screen catching all this, the name "Domino" is displayed in blocky black and white lettering. When he reaches the ring, he hops up onto the apron and grabs ahold of the top rope. He then turns around to lean back against it until he simply rolls his back over the top rope to land on his feet in the ring. He moves quickly to one corner of the ring and hops up onto the middle rope, arms thrusting up into the air.
After a second of this, the arms lower and whisk the robe off the model and cast it outside the ring.
The model, now fully revealed in his wrestling garb, thrusts his fists back into the air with a bright smile. And finally, he backflips off the middle ropes and turns to face his opponent... which comes as a surprise to him when he actually recognizes her. "Rainbow Mika? Hey! Fancy meetin' you in the ring..."

Domino. Domin-.... oh! It's him! Rainbow Mika grins and offers a friendly wave. She -knew- she recognized the name! Bouncing toward the center of the ring, she sets a serious look upon her face and waits. It would've been nice for them to actually -tell- her that this try out was going to be televised instead of springing it on her, but no matter! She'll make the best of it, even if she's got to come back next week and try again. "Domino! I didn't know you were trying out for KWF! Don't you have a fed back home?"
"Would you look at that, Tony? Seems our fighters are making nice with one another." Not that it's unprecedented, but it causes the toothy-Neal to grin broadly. "Figure they've met before?"

Domino makes his way to the center of the ring and extends his right hand out to her, smile softening a bit. "Yeah, but I'm wanting to branch out. If I'm gonna be living in Japan, I'll need to get into a Japanese fed, y'know? Anyway, be sure to fight hard. I won't be holding anything back."
Meanwhile, the referee crawls into the ring and waits for their frivolities to end.
"It would certainly seem that way, Neal," chimes Tony. "But keep in mind, we don't know anything about these people! They might be friendly.. but friendly doesn't always get you very far in the ring, does it?" Tony breaks into a chortle from there.

"Brings up a good question, Tony," Neal says as he eyes the goings on in the ring. "Why -don't- we know more about these people?" Much more interesting commentary could be had if they did!
Rainbow Mika takes Domino's hand and gives it a firm shake. The look on her face is still pretty serious. This is a serious gig! Making it into this fed is sure to make her a star... er... rising star in Zangief's eyes! Then maybe she can move away from the koalas! "Well good luck!" Letting go of his hand, she steps back.
Just as the referee calls, "FIGHT!"
Moving toward Domino as quickly as she can, she tries to grab hold of his shoulders and arms, grappling him and attempting to push him back against a turnbuckle.

Domino gives Mika's hand a firm pump in return. He steps back from her as well, and begins to circle her slowly. Next thing he knows, the ref calls to fight.
*DING DING*
Domino locks up with Mika, returning the grappled position in kind and trying to push back. He's failing, however, and his boots take slow, gradual steps back towards the turnbuckle.
"And things are underway!," calls Tony. "It looks like Rainbow Mika is taking an early advantage in the ring..."
And Domino attempts to reverse the momentum by stepping out, aiming to whip the blonde back against the turnbuckle he was heading towards.

His failure is Mika's reward. The grapple continues with her pushing backward, and while it's slow she figures she's got all the time in the world. Push. Shove. Shove.
"ACK!" And before she knows it, Rainbow Mika is being whipped toward the turnbuckle. Just before she hits it though, she twists her body and bounces it off of the ropes, directly toward her opponent. Left arm held straight at her side, she hopes to snag him in the upper torso or throat area and knock him backward a little with a clothesline as she runs by.
"Ohhhh and would you look at that! Seems Domino is turning things around..." Neal pauses as he watches and then chuckles. "Or not! Looks like this might be one of those back and forth fights!"

Domino waits for Rainbow Mika to smack against the turnbuckle.. but she doesn't! She hits the ropes! With the clothesline coming in towards him quickly, the agile wrestler ducks beneath her arm and twists around to face her. He kareens back against the ropes and launches himself towards his blonde opponent, aiming to meet her center ring with a flying clothesline from his left outstretched arm. Strike aimed for her collar area, but the force of the attack comes from the slam against the mat.

It missed. He ducked, and she missed! Rainbow Mika bounces off the ropes on the other side of the ring with the full intention of twisting and attempting another clothesline, but finds herself falling backward from the force of the two flying attacks hitting each other and the consequent slamming down of her body against the mat. "GACK!"
Not wanting to look foolish for the fall, she attempts to snag his head in a headlock position and squeeze it multiple times to wind him a little and cause him to struggle. While she's attempting that, she's also attempting to push his weight off of her, drag them both up to their feet to start a running bulldog. Managing all of this she'll jump forward and land herself on her rear hopefully smooshing his face into the mat.

"OH!," cries Tony as Domino brings Rainbow Mika to the mat. "A flying clothesline took down Rainbow Mika! But wait..."

The headlock cinches around Domino's neck, his arms loops around her midsection to balance himself a bit. She drags him up to his feet without difficulty, and his arms relocate to wrap backwards around her stomach. So when she begins to run, Domino takes the momentum and sweeps her off her feet by pulling her body aside more towards his front. Right arm encircling her under her arms, left arm under her legs, her back facing the mat, the dark-haired male wrestler suspends the light-haired female wrestler. With only a second's warning, he drops forward, crashing the girl's back upon the mat and slamming his abdominals across her stomach. Immediately after the hit, Domino presses in against her midsection with his own, and sets his arm across her collar to attempt pushing her shoulders down against the mat for a pin. The referee rushes over and drops down to begin the count.

"Man! A complete reversal into a powerslam! Does he have'er!?," Tony bawks excitedly.

"It's hard to see from where we sit, Tony. Let's see if we can get the cameras in at a better angle..." Neal quickly motions for the free-standing camera to move in closer to the ring, a nice close up that shows a frustrated scowl upon the pretty blonde's face.

The referee moves up beside the ring and starts to count. To enunciate each number, he slams his hand against the mat. "One!" *SLAM* "Tw-!"
Before his hand can slam against the mat again, Rainbow Mika pops her shoulders up and springs upward, hoping to topple him off of her. He's quick, and she's putting on a poor show. Time to try and turn things around. Once on her feet, she springs forward away from him and then turns around. Looks at him. Turns around again. Then she goes flying backward toward him, aiming to hit Domino with her buttocks as she lands.

Tony enthusiastically counts along with the referee when his hand slaps the mat. "One...! Two...! Wait! No pin! He's signalling a one-count!"

In the ring, Domino gets jostled off of her when she pops the shoulder of the mat. His amethyst eyes narrow a little on the girl, but he permits her to get up every bit as much as she struggles to raise. His posture turns more standard for wrestling, crouching down a little and spreading his fingers out at the ready. But when the blonde leaps rear-first at him, he twists his body to the side. Hands push out to shove her hips and knock the girl's aim askew. And even while she's still on the descent, Domino races for the nearest turnbuckle...

"Whoa, what kind of move was THAT!? Leaping at'em butt-first! You know, Neal, moments like these make me wish I pursued a career in professional wrestling myself," comments Tony.

Gawking, Neal blinks a few times. Rubs his eyes. Blinks again. "You know, Tony, I really don't know what kind of move THAT was, but man! It makes me wish I wasn't so gym-phobic! Think any of the light-weight girls have moves like that?"
At the miss, Rainbow Mika slams onto the mat with her rear and cries out in pain and disgust with herself for missing. "Waaaah!" A hand settles to the side of her rear and she rubs it a little while sitting there dazed.

"She looks stunned, Neal! And what's Domino doing over there!?," Tony demands, attention (and camera) focusing on the dark-haired fighter.

Domino is, in fact, climbing the turnbuckle. He makes his way to the top ropes, and raaises up to his full height. Balancing keenly upon the ropes with his back turned to Rainbow Mika, he thrusts his right fist into the air.

"I think he's signalling something, here!," Tony observes.

Without further warning, Domino leaps off into a slow backflip, aiming to crash his upperbody against Rainbow Mika's while she's stunned in a moonsault. Attempting to bear her back down against the mat beneath him flatly.

Signalling something? Stunned though she may be, Rainbow Mika can still -hear- what they're saying! Her head is given a shake, causing big blonde pigtails to sway back and forth before she tosses her body into a side roll and then kips up to her feet. "Hah!" But after that exclamation she falls silent and begins to circle around him.

"Oooh... that HAD to hurt! A miss for Domino as well. Seems our wrestlers like that mat quite a bit!" Neal tries his very best not to snicker as he points out the obvious to Tony.

Satisfied that Domino isn't about to move just yet, Mika steps over him and lowers herself down to sit on his back. Provided he doesn't roll out of the way while she does this, she attempts to grab both of his arms and trap them between hers as she links her arms together and launches herself forward into a flip that will allow her to bridge her body upward while keeping his arms locked so that she can apply pressure.

[OOC] Faolan blazes through. D:

Domino arcs gracefully through the air, expecting his fall to be cushioned by the other wrestler. Only it isn't. His body smacks into the mat, and he bounces once from the impact. He starts to raise, but then slumps down again onto his front, writhing from the shock of the hit.
"It definitely seems that way, Neal," Tony replies sagely. "But man, that was one high-flying move! It really makes me wonder what else we can expect to see out of these two combatants today."

Then when Rainbow Mika attempts to mount atop him, Domino starts to go with it.. except he bucks her off to the side at the last moment. He then rolls to the opposite side and climbs back up to his feet. He moves in towards the hopefully stunned blonde wrestler and reaches down to hook his left arm over her head in a forward facelock. He then tries to drape her left arm behind his neck, and take ahold of her left hip with his right hand. If successful, he hoists the girl straight up into the air, suspending her upside-down to let the blood drain to her head. After a couple seconds of this, he hops into the air and twists aside, aiming to slam her down onto her back and smash his chest across hers.

Finally! Rainbow Mika has a chance to just yank his arms out of their sockets and... wait! Where'd he go? The blonde wrestler isn't stunned per se, but she's definitely confused enough that he manages to get her in the facelock. Trying to move out of the way, she slips up and falls forward which allows him to lift her up. As the blood rushes to her head, she begins to get dizzy and she twists and squirms and tries to break free of his grasp. Then they're airborne again and she goes crashing to the mat with a model-wrestler atop her.

*SLAM*

"Ouf."

"Looks like he's laying the beats on her, Tony! That's gonna be a hard move to break free from!" Neal's canned excitement is barely contained now as he leans forward in his seat.

Rainbow Mika struggles a little more, finally shimmying out from beneath Domino to get back up to her feet in a dazed manner. After giving her head a shake she, tries to grab him by the shoulders and pull him toward her. Once he's close enough, she means to wrap her arms about his waist and hoist him up above her head twisting in a one-hundred-and-eighty degree turn toward the turnbuckle before climbing up onto the lower rope, jumping up and tossing him forward onto his spine while meaning to splash her body atop his as soon as he hits the mat.

Domino attempts to turn the powerslam into a pinfall, except the girl manages to wriggle free. The ref didn't even have the chance to drop down and begin the count. So Domino's a little slower getting up to his feet, and he's grabbed in against her. Before he knows what's happening enough to reverse the situation, he's pulled up onto the ropes with her.. and tossed. he lands flat on his spine and arches up, then gets hammered down flat against the mat when she splashes her body overtop his. There Domino lays, supine, eyes shut, and teeth grit.

"Wow! Did you see that, Neal!? Looks like we shouldn't be counting her out just yet! That Rainbow Mika has some good moves on'er! And if she wrestles as good as she looks, Domino might have been getting too confident with'er!" Tony leans forward in his seat, eyes widened. "But is she gonna go for the pin now and take the opportunity!?"

"I saw! I saw! Seems like we underestimated the small girl! Bet we aren't the only ones!" Neal's eyes widen as well and he just stares at the ring, motioning again for the cameras to get a close up.

The referee moves in toward the mat to prepare for the count.

It looks like Rainbow Mika is about to attempt the pin, but she suddenly reaches for Domino's arms and with her body still atop his attempts to pull them down so she can hook them behind his own knees. In the process of attempting this, she rolls off him and tries to roll him with her so that he's resting on his knees with his arms trapped between his knees and shins. And if she manages all of that? She swings up to mount his back like she might mount a horse and preens for the cameras while trying to maintain a constant pressure by pushing her weight against his body.

"What's that she's attempting there, Tony?" Neal's eyes narrow in at the screen and he exclaims, "Looks like an entanglement submission hold! More commonly known as a Goofy Lucha Submission! I haven't seen that since my last trip to Mexico!"

Domino seems completely compliant with the pin.. but that doesn't seem to be what's in store for him. He makes no struggle still, quite stunned from the previous hit. When the actual submission hold is locked on, Domino cries out in pain, eyes squeezing shut. He twitches and squirms as best he can, attempting to drop towards the ropes or buck her off. The ref, meanwhile, keeps a tight watch on the male wrestler to make sure he doesn't get injured or watch if he submits.

"She's really turning this match around, Neal! And I've NEVER seen a hold like that! Looks painful... but I know -I- wouldn't mind her putting me in something like that!," Tony laughs.

Neal laughs in return. "Never? You should catch a Lucha Libre match sometime, Tony!" The toothy grin turns into a wince though. "Ooh. I bet it is painful! I've seen a similar position elsewhere and let me tell you! It looked much more enjoyable!"

Rainbow Mika has no intention of actually breaking Domino! Leastwise, not yet. Sliding off of his back, she tries to grab him about the waist and untangle him from himself while she attempts to hoist him up into a belly-to-back suplex. Providing he doesn't squirm or wriggle his way out of it, she lifts him up and falls backward into a bridge to hopefully slam his shoulders and upper back onto the mat.

*SLAM*

Keeping the waistlock, Rainbow Mika continues bridging with her back and legs, pinning Domino's shoulders against the mat.

That makes the referee jump in again, but since they've been here before he hesitates to make sure the shoulders are secure before starting the count. His hand slams against the mat, "ONE!"

Tony's eyes are now quite wide.

"THIS COULD BE IT!"

The ref's hand strikes the mat a second time. "TWO!" The hand blazes down towards the mat!

Domino kicks out, twisting and getting a shoulder off the mat. The ref's hand stops just a hair short of striking the mat again, and he lifts his hands with two fingers extending. Only a two-count.

Domino twists over onto his hands and knees, crawling towards the closest turnbuckle. Once there, he grabs ahold of the ropes to pull himself up back to his feet and turns to face the blonde, slumping back against the pads.

"She's totally taken charge of this match, Neal! Domino was wailing on her, and now she's in complete control!," Tony observes. "And it doesn't look like Domino is going to be hanging on much longer."

Tony's aren't the only eyes that are wide. Neal's are about quarter-sized now, and a few of the random spectators are on the edges of their seats. "Don't forget, Tony, looks can be deceiving! We've both seen matches like this turn around."

A two count pin isn't bad, but it's certainly not a win. When his shoulder pops up and he kicks out of it, Rainbow Mika somersaults backward out of the bridge and stays in a low crouched position. Spying him slump back against the pads, she springs into action lunging in toward his midsection with her shoulder.

Domino remains against the turnbuckle, amethyst eyes set on the blue-clad blonde beauty. Chest rises and falls as he pants, trying to regulate his breathing and compose himself. To push himself harder. When his female opponent rushes in with her shoulder, Domino pushes himself out of the way to hopefully let her crash her shoulder into the turnbuckle itself.

"Whoa! Close call there!," Tony cries.

Rainbow Mika's shoulder slams into the pad instead of plush body and she winces a little as it sends a wave of pain into her shoulder and collarbone. "Ungh!" Sometimes, she makes the most interesting noises when hurt. Drawing up to full height, she rolls the shoulder back a few times, attempting to loosen it and work some of the pain before making another move.

"Close call indeed, Tony! What'd I tell you about things being deceiving? Looks like Domino's not quite out yet!"

"You're right about that, Neal! But this could be his only chance to turn things back around on that one!," Tony concurs.

Domino does just that. With her trying to work out her newfound pain, he reaches out to grab her shoulders from behind. From there, he attempts to force her back into a sharp, but brief arch to lock her neck between his legs, and hook his arms around her waist. If successful, he hoists her up upside-down into a belly-to-belly piledrive position.

"And what's this? Going for a tombstone piledriver?," Tony asks, gesturing out at the ring.

And with Rainbow Mika restrained in the belly-to-belly piledrive position, Domino begins to walk a slow circle with the blonde, showing off his catch and her predicament to the crowd, as well as just biding time to let the blood drain to her head again. Satisfied that all has seen the layup for his would-be finisher, Domino stops the showboating and CRUSHES her body against his in an inverted bearhug. After several seconds of this, he leaps high into the air, turning a series of forward flips. These flips begin to pick up speed on the rise. On the descent, the speed has picked up to the point of bluring the two wrestlers together in a full, indistinguishable circle. The full moment of the flips, Domino's bodyweight, and indeed Rainbow Mika's own bodyweight comes crashing down on the girl's head and shoulders as the piledriver lands.

Tony jerks back in his seat, hands slamming to the commentator stand. "WHOA! I've never seen ANYTHING like that! We may need some paramedics in here, stat!"

In the ring, Domino keeps the bearhugged, piledriven blonde in the hold, save for his legs moving from her neck to hook over her shoulders in hopes of pinning her down.

In the ring, Domino lets the bearhugged, piledriven blonde go to land on her back. Though even as she falls, he's dropping forward as well to drop his body overtop hers. He reaches up to grab ahold of one of her legs to pull it into the air and take away a bit of her lower balance, relying simply on his bodyweight to keep her upper-body pinned.

"What's this? Could it be... Tony, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Neal grips the edge of the table and actually stands up, eyes wide with excitement. From Tony's commentary, it's obvious he's seeing it too.
Domino may be turning things around, but sensing that he's about to reach for her Rainbow Mika springs backward with another buttocks attack. Instead of hitting him though she cries out in pain as he catches her and arches her body into a belly-to-belly piledriver. "Aiiiieeooooow!" If anything? She sounds like a cat caterwauling on a windowsill in an alleyway after midnight at the moment. The sound only gets worse as the spin begins, blonde pigtails blurring into the ball of wrestler as well. In fact, the sound only stops when her shoulders smack down onto the mat, ending with a groan and an, "Owww." From there, she finds herself being leg go of and a body landing atop hers.

"ONE!" Hand slams against the mat, and the referee leans in between the ropes to see if medics will be needed. "Tw--"

Rainbow Mika's shoulder tiredly rises away from the mat but she doesn't do more than that yet. The attack seems to have winded her a little.

The ref gives the signal of a two count. "Man! I was sure he had her after a hit like that!," Tony exclaims. "Just goes to show you how tough that Rainbow Mika is! But is she tough enough to keep fighting?"

Domino gets the signal of the broken pin, and he exhales a sigh. Her leg is released and he raises up to knees beside her. He attempts to push her over onto her stomach, and goes to mount upon her lower back, facing her head. He reaches back to grab and lock her left leg under his left arm, then leans in towards her head to lock his right arm around her neck and under her chin. He then attempts to force the leg and head to meet, pulling more fiercely along her neck and torso.

"He's going for the leg hook camel clutch..!," announces Tony, eyes still rather wide in anticipation..

"He's going for it Tony, but looks like she's not having any of that!" Neal is, at this time, nudging Tony and pointing at the femme wrestler.

Allowing herself to be pushed over onto her stomach, Rainbow Mika pauses. A deep breath is taken, and as he goes to mount her back, she lurches up and crawls forward away from him, missing the head lock and following submission hold. Pushing herself back up to her feet, she springs forward with a lunging backhand. After this she sends a barrage of jabs toward his chest and shoulder area in the hops of knocking him backward.

Domino rolls back from her when she gets away, and he raises back to his feet. Amethyst eyes follow her movements intently, and when the fist comes, the dark-haired wrestler reaches out to grab it and stop it flat.

Tony's eyes widen. "Whoa!"

The next movements Domino makes are all in a flash. He forces her caught around his neck, while his left arm hooks around her neck in return, right arm hooks between her legs, and he takes her momentum to cleanly sweep her off her feet and hold her before himself, upside-down. Giving just one second for this to sink in and to gather his strength, Domino hops into the air and turns himself over with her, driving her down hard upon her back and smashing her upper-body with his own upper-body.

"Powerslam! This could be the end!," Tony cries.

Domino releases her neck and legs to simply push himself down against her, hands setting to her hips. Pretty cocky in feeling she -has- to be done for after a hit like that, he relies solely on holding her hips down and pushing his bodyweight against hers to secure the pin.

Baby blue eyes widen in surprise and she tries to pull her fist free and send another jab toward his face this time. Rainbow Mika is frustrated! Can't lose to him on television! Shouldn't have signed those release forms! Gah! Now Zangief is just going to fuss at her and send her back to wrestle rats... or goldfish! How embarrassing would -that- be?

Neal is just silent. What else can he say at this point?

Gulping, she stretches, squirms and wriggles her way out from under him. Like the commentator, she's quite silent as she does this since she doesn't want to break her concentration. A deep breath is taken and she rolls back toward him, her arm shooting out to wrap him up in a headlock where she goes to squeeze tightly and relentlessly.

"Can she turn this around, Tony?" Neal's voice is quiet. Hushed even, as though he doesn't want to jinx the moment. Then he blinks. "HEY WHERE'D THAT REF GET TO? Shouldn't he have been counting?" With the speed of the blonde's movement though, it wouldn't have lasted to a three count anyhow.

Duly chastened by the hollering from the peanut gallery, the referee swings back up into the ring and readies for the next pin, which he can almost sense is coming up.

Running forward, Rainbow Mika jumps up and forward landing on her rear on the mat with a slight oof. This would normally drive Domino's face into the mat but at the last second she twists him about enough so that it hopefully catches him on the side of the face or shoulder instead of potentially breaking his nose. He makes his living off of his face and she doesn't want to ruin that for him!

Domino holds the pin as long as he can.. and he sees no ref making the count. What the heck! The blonde gets away, and the dark-haired one glares about himself. He spies the ref and starts to crawl over to him to give him a piece of his mind, when...

"Uh-oh!," Tony cries. "Looks like Rainbow Mika's back in her game!"

The headlock snaps on without difficulty. Domino attempts to hook his arms around her stomach to apply a bearhug and force her off through merit of pain, but it fails. He rather visibly weakens from the grip of the headlock, body going a little more lax. This makes his body much more pliable for the bulldog she hits him with, landing on his shoulder with a soft, choked cry. From there, he goes fairly ragdoll-esque, limp and just struggling to breathe in her grasp.

"How's this going to turn out? Looks like Rainbow Mika's back in the lead, but it's still anyone's game at this point!" Neal chirps as he watches intently. "We haven't seen a fight like this since..." Screwing up his face he turns to Tony. "Have we EVER seen a fight like this?"

Poor ragdoll-esque model! Rainbow Mika takes a little bit of pity upon him and releases the headlock so that clamber back up to her feet and attempt to snag him again around the waist. As such, she's trying to pull him up into a back-to-belly piledriver wherein she hops up a little and means to slam his shoulders down onto the mat and from there, hopefully pin him for the win.

Domino simply has no say in this matter. Whether he's hoisted up or not. His neck is locked into place, and his hands set to her outer thighs. When he's lifted into position, his legs hook back over her shoulders, prepare a reversal flip.

"It looks like it's gonna be Rainbow Mika..! Here it comes..!," gushes Tony.

WHAM. The plan to reverse the piledriver hold into a powerslam backfires. It simply leaves his body more vulnerable to impact. Domino's body goes limp with the hit, eyes shut. No more struggling from him whatsoever. The only movement he makes is the heavy rising and falling of his chest as he breathes. As such, he's pinned down securely.

"A powerful hit! She's got him!," cheers Tony, rising to his feet.

The referee dives down beside the girl, hand lifting to strike the mat...
ONCE!
TWICE!
...
THREE TIMES!
The crowd actually gets excited by this, cheering wildly. "That's it! Rainbow Mika has won, and is now a part of the KWF!," announces Tony. The ref, meanwhile, raises back to his feet and waits for Mika to stand to lift her right arm in show of victory.

*DING DING DING*

Maki has arrived.

Maki heads OOC.

Has she got him? Has she really made the fight turn around in such a dramatic manner? Rainbow Mika keeps the pin until the three count is done. She keeps it through the dinging of the bell. Then and only then does she get up to her feet and shoots her fists up into the air.
Then she begins to bounce up and down excitedly. "Yaaaaaay!"
"YAY!"
Cameras zoom in to catch the look of elation on the winner's face for... well obvious reasons. Buxom blonde girl bouncing like that? It's television gold!

With the cameras focused on the ring, a spectator in the 'audience' with a clipboard wanders up to Neal and whispers something. Neal immediately places his hand over the microphone and asks, "Are you sure?" With a nod from the clipboard-woman, he moves his hand and says, "HOLD UP FOLKS! In an unprecedented move by our managers, we now have TWO... TWO NEW MEMBERS of KWF! Looks like Domino impressed them with those bold moves of his!"

The announcement just makes Mika bounce all the more. Happy for herself, happy for him, happy that the fight went so well and that they both fought their hardest. Normally she'd reach down for her opponents hand to help him up, but this time she grabs for Domino by the shoulders and goes to hoist him up, giving his shoulders a little squeeze. "Great fight, Domino!!!"

"What?," Tony asks, giving the woman a look. "That's crazy! This guy's even a 'mercenary', we'd be paying'em for not even full-ti-..." The announcement is made anyway, and the blonde commentator facepalms. Someone didn't really care for Domino getting added.

Speaking of which, Domino remains limp in the ring when she's celebrating her win. Beaten and battered, he is. He isn't knocked out, though. When he's grabbed and hoisted, he simply staggers about weakly. No returned squeeze or anything. Obviously, he's horribly worn down. "Yeah.. grats..," he says with a weak smile. "..Ow. Rematch me sometime soon."

Does he mean the congratulations? Rainbow Mika nods. "For sure!" Domino still has to show her his training room, so maybe they can rematch there. "Oh! Hey, grats to you too! You're in!!" Though, with the excitement wearing down she starts to walk over to the side of the ring, still holding the model-wrestler up.

Domino has little choice but to hobble along with her, leaning against the buxom blonde. The crowd is still riled up after that match and finisher, cheering and lauding the fighters.

"And that was that!," Tony says to the camera before him. "Rainbow Mika faced off against Domino in an intergender tryout match to see who would join the KWF! Domino was shut down by a piledrive from Rainbow Mika, and she got the three-count for the win! But in a strange turn of events, both fighters have been accepted as wrestlers for the federation!" He pauses to shift through the papers before him. "We have more wrestling action coming at you LIVE, right after this commercial break!"
