Vanessa versus Christine, Part 2

Twice a year, Reebok (which doesn't have a team in the league) sponsors a tournament for the independent wrestlers. The Reebok Invitational is a great moment for a lady to excel, as representatives from each of the teams are present and are looking to pick up a few ladies to round out their rosters. Given their past history, it came as no surprise that Venessa and Christine were matched up against each other for two matches over the course of the weekend-long tourney.
Vanessa definitely came dressed to impress in a lilac suit that showed off her best feature. But she simply wasn't prepared for the level of aggressiveness that Christine -- a three-time veteran of the Reebok Tournament -- brought to the match.
Christine cleverly sits on Venessa's left arm to keep it in a painful hammerlock, while yanking on the roots of her long brunette locks.
Christine gets away with one here, even when measured by the lax referring standards used in the Reebok Tournament. Although she later claimed that she was just holding Vanessa's head still, you can see that Christine is placing her right thumb up against her opponent's eye.
In their second match, Christine just picked up where she left off. It seemed that Vanessa just didn't have the will to compete and Christine took full advantage.
With the opportunity to get picked up by a team so close, Christine put Vanessa in a series of humiliating positions.
This final "forced bridge" probably drove the final nail in the coffin in terms of Vanessa getting selected to join a team. There was no way that shoe company would want one of their girls getting displayed like this by a smaller women while wearing their product.
Christine looks confident, knowing that she would certainly get selected while Vanessa looks up in a daze.
Fast forward two months, and Christine is a member of Team Adidas while Vanessa is still slogging it out as an independent wrestler. Although the top ladies on each sponsored team don't wrestle independents, second tier ladies such as Christine regularly compete against non-sponsored ladies in order to keep in match shape. Note how much more aggresive Vanessa looks right from the get-go. Perhaps to keep the memory of her last terrible loss to Christine fresh in her mind, she wears the same wrestling suit.
Vanessa is determined to inflict maximum punishement with this bow and arrow. Note how much higher cut Christine's suit is as compared to when she was wrestling as an independent.
Vanessa returns to the fine form she displayed in some of her earlier matches, calmly moving from hold to hold to work on her opponent's weaknesses. To her credit, Christine bears up to the pain and seems to be waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables.
But Vanessa never gives her the chance, finally getting the Adidas Team wrestler in this modified camel clutch.
Christine strikes a pose, showing off her big, beautiful legs. There seems to be no doubt, at least in her mind, that she's ready for the big time.
Christine looks terrible, and the pain from having Christine work her over can only be compounded by the knowledge that team management never likes it when one of their ladies loses to an independent.

"Just roll her over like this and sit my way to victory...again! Maybe a little hair pulling and she'll scream it out for me! GIVE! I GIVE! Throw in a dash of eye gouging and I am sure she'll throw in the towel. Those purple tights make me gag anyways!"

That one look says it all. She looks up to cameraman... she knows what's coming and no way of stopping it. It's all down hill from here... Chritine continues to work, chinock (and showing the boys what they came to see in that particualr camera angle) and then the haughty glance at the camera as she counts to three, knowing she could count to 10, 20, or a hundred if she wanted too.

The tiger tights are back, but something different it is in the air..."take that you little troll," Vanessa spits as she stretches Christine. Knowing she won't have this opportunityv often, Vanessa throws in the whole playbook, going to the knees and the back, finally pinning Vanessa and giving the camera glance at her blazing blue eyes, she rises leaving Christine goraning and moaning, clutching her bruised ribs.

The start of something good? Or pure luck?
