Girl Wrestler Joanne vs. Kathy Oasis
The fighters for both teams are gathered in the gym for the fight.
Kathy Oasis is 5’10” 140 lbs with long wavy auburn hair and aqua blue eyes and looks just like Kathy Ireland. She comes out dressed in an aqua blue sports bra, showing the slight definition in her stomach and her small odd-looking outie navel, and matching shorts with her feet and ankles taped. Kathy looks very focused and determined, but every once in a while, there’s a bit of a nervous curiosity about her. Kathy is known for her super-friendly, too nice to be taken seriously personality, but Kathy is a very good kickboxing and muay thai fighter who is coming off of a brutal knock out loss to Tyler The Silver Fox.
(Kathy- I just say a prayer as I’m walking to the cage. I trust my trainers and I trust Joanne enough to hope that she’s going to fight fair. I don’t know; I don’t want to hurt her, but this is what we do. It’s an odd feeling after my last fight when I got knocked out. I hope it goes well for me.)
Gemma- Focus, Kathy. You’re gonna have to establish yourself in there and apply the pressure. You are taller and stronger than she is and you can beat the shit out of her from outside.
Kathy- Yes, ma’am.
(Kathy- Gemma curses a lot and I don’t like cursing. But I listen to her because she knows what she’s talking about. I just hope I can execute their strategy.)
Girl Wrestler Joanne is out next. Joanne is 5’6” with shoulder length blonde hair and hazel eyes and she’s dressed in a black bikini with black thigh high boots, showing off her smooth stomach and oval shaped innie navel. Joanne looks pissed off and Samantha is walking with her, talking to her all the way to the cage. Joanne is known as a trash talker and has a huge cult following, but she’s coming off of a series of losses and has followed a pattern of talking trash, getting beaten and humiliated, admitting defeat in a very humble and docile manner, only to talk trash and demand a rematch of the same person who beat her… only to be beaten again.
(Joanne- I said I’m not worrying about Kathy Oasis and I mean it. Kathy cooks for us and she’s a good person, but I am totally gonna kick her nicey nice ass back to California. I can admit that my head hasn’t been where it should be, but seeing my bestie Laurie Breeze, who I brought into this business, ignoring me at the house and embracing Gemma Rox, not talking to me because she’s tired from training and even saying that she’s scouting me… that’s pissed me off! Laurie has turned selfish and I need to be that way too if I’m going to win.)
Samantha- Look… this bitch is good, but she starts slowly. Everybody is saying that you can’t beat her; everybody is saying you don’t have any heart. I’ve been where you’ve been, Joanne. I know what it’s like to be the pretty girl that nobody is giving a chance. I know what it’s like to come into the business with a bunch of hype and then, go on a losing streak. Starting right here, right now, you take what they’ve said about you and you shove it up their asses. Get this bitch out of here.
The bell rings and Kathy comes out with her arms raised high and her left foot out and tapping while Joanne charges Kathy and goes for a takedown, but the taller girl dances out of the way. Jo looks at Kathy and sighs as Kathy seems to be waiting to see what Jo does next.
Gemma- Establish yourself.
Kathy sticks a jab out that catches Joanne on the forehead, then steps back. Kathy lands another jab and follows up with a hook to the jaw of Joanne and the shorter blonde backs up.
Gemma- She’s confused; step it up.
Kathy moves in and lowers her arms a bit, so Jo lands a left hook of her own to Kathy’s jaw and Kathy’s legs buckle.
Samantha- Get her!!!
Joanne rams her shoulder into Kathy’s bare stomach and the taller girl’s cheeks fill with air as she stumbles back, but Kathy is able to turn Joanne, lock her fingers together behind Jo’s head and drive three knees to the blonde’s ribs.
Joanne- Uggghhh!!! You’re totally hurting me!!!
Kathy- I’m sorry, but what am I supposed to do?
Gemma- Fuck that! Knee her again, Kathy!
Samantha- Don’t wilt, Joanne! Remember what I said!!
Dana- Sweep her legs, Joanne!
Dynamite- Take that bitch down!! Grab her fookin legs and take her down!
(Shawna- Fuck Joanne. With my judo and aikido, I could’ve helped her prepare for Kathy, beyond Joanne’s simple wrestling that I was able to easily dominate in the two fights we’ve had. But Joanne is worthless and writes out checks with her mouth that her ass can’t cash. Kathy makes me sick too with her smiling and “How do you do?” bullshit.)
(Katrina- Uggh! Ooof! Ohhh, I’m so totally weakening! That’s the sound of Joanne getting her ass kicked again. Yes, we’re on the same team, but do I give a damn about that bitch? Hell, no. I kicked her ass and I’d kick it again.)
(Praggy- It feels good to be on Team Samantha and not have to put up with the bitches on Team Rachel, especially the broken lovers Laurie Breeze and Gemma Rox. I don’t know how I’m going to get along with the other ladies on this team, but Shawna, Katrina, and I are united at least in our dislike of Joanne. They were silent and so was I.)
Joanne pulls her head out of the clinch and Kathy takes a breath, but Joanne strikes Kathy’s solar plexus with a jab.
Kathy- Mmph!
Kathy takes a moment and exhales, giving Joanne a look of pain and sadness. Joanne senses it and lands a jab to Kathy’s stomach, right above her navel, then when Kathy’s eyes widen and she bends, Jo throws a kick to Kathy’s ribs and Kathy backs up, holding her side.
Samantha- Get on her, Joanne! This is your chance!
Joanne moves in again, but Kathy steadies herself and lands a left hook right cross combo that almost knocks Jo down. Kathy circles and lands a hard leg kick to Joanne’s right leg. Jo sees Kathy’s back close to the cage wall and she charges in, wrapping her arms around Kathy’s waist and stomping on the taller girl’s toes with her hard black boots.
(Samantha- There were some things that we worked on with Joanne. She’s primarily a wrestler, but I had Dana teaching her some other techniques. Jo likes to use her legs, so Katora had her do some kicking drills too. Just stuff so that she could give a good account of herself facing Kathy’s stand up game.)
With Joanne up close, Kathy can’t really throw her punches or knees because she’s being smothered against the cage wall. Kathy looks around confused and doesn’t seem like she knows what to do, but she hooks Jo’s arms, pushes herself forward, lets the blonde go and lands a jab jab cross to Jo’s face and a good digging left hook to Jo’s stomach.
Jo- Ugggghhhh!!!!
Joanne doubles over and Kathy loads a cross, but Jo swings her head around while Kathy’s in motion and the blonde’s head slams into Kathy’s stomach.
Kathy- Guuugghhh…
Kathy grabs her stomach and doubles over while Joanne grabs her own neck and backs up.
Samantha- She’s hurt!! She’s hurt!!! Suck it up, Joanne!!
Jo- I think I hurt my neck! My neck is really hurting bad!
Samantha- You’re gonna be hurting a lot worse if you blow it! Hurting because all those bitches who put you down will have been proven right!
Joanne cracks her neck and goes at Kathy, who plants her feet and throws a left hook that Joanne ducks under while landing a hook of her own to Kathy’s liver, grabbing the taller girl around her waist and taking her down.
Gemma- Aw, shit.
Joanne is able to get an easy mount and starts to punch Kathy’s face over and over again. When Kathy brings her arms up, Joanne starts going after her weakened stomach. Joanne is able to pry Kathy’s arms apart and starts to position her legs for the face sitter, Joanne’s signature move, but Kathy comes alive and starts struggling like crazy to prevent the move from being used. Once Jo sees that she can’t get Kathy in the position she needs her to be in, but also sees that Kathy can’t fight on her back, Jo starts tagging Kathy with hard right hands to her left side and lands a sitting knee to the beautiful fighter’s stomach. Lucy Thunder can be seen groaning and shaking her head as her teammate is taking a beating on the ground. Rachel is looking at the clock.
Kathy- Ughh! Ugghh!! OOOH!!
Jo- Kathy, I’m sorry, babes, but I’m gonna have to… ufff!!!
Kathy brings her knees up into Jo’s back and pushes the blonde with her arms, forcing the smaller Joanne off of her. Kathy quickly tries to scramble to her feet, but Joanne quickly tackles her, forcing the shoulder back into Kathy’s stomach and dropping her down again. Joanne takes a moment to breath and Kathy grabs her and holds her in place, but it’s obvious that Joanne’s experience with wrestling pays off as she is easily able to slip free and slams a fist into Kathy’s stomach and one to her crotch.
Kathy- Nooo!!!
Lucy Thunder- Cheap shot!!
Kathy goes to a fetal position and Jo looks to slip behind her, but the bell rings. Both women get up slowly. Joanne has a busted lip and her cheeks are a bit puffier than usual. The already puffy-cheeked Kathy is up and holding her sides and stomach and slowly makes her way back to her coaches with a dejected look on her face.
Kathy- She had me… she’s really… she’s really good.
Rachel- She is not good at all. She is terrible. You are allowing yourself to be taken out of this fight mentally. You cannot change what happened to you in your last fight, but you can change the possible outcome of this one.
Nikky- Stay on the outside; stick and move, Kathy. You almost knock her out every time you hit her, especially to the body.
Kathy- I don’t know… she hurt me and had me on the ground and--
Gemma- Look Kathy! You don’t have to go to the ground with her. You just go out there and put her on the ground with your striking.
Sage- Remember all those fights you won, Kathy? Remember how you were in trouble in each of those fights, but you came back? You’re the comeback kid, remember? You can win this.
Over in Joanne’s corner, Joanne is huffing and puffing.
Samantha- I thought you were a well-conditioned fighter. What is all this about?
Jo- I haven’t been working out at home like I usually would.
Samantha- Why not?
Jo- Laurie won’t train with me.
Samantha-… … … okay, Joanne. Kathy is going to be coming on strong soon. She’s going to come out and try to keep the fight standing up because of her height and reach advantages.
Jo- I can’t strike with her. I’ll get killed. She’ll totally beat me and---
Samantha- Shut up. I don’t want to hear that defeatist talk. You had her done in the last round and she got up looking like she didn’t want to fight anymore. Now, you come over here with this bullshit about what you can’t do. Shut up; go out there and just do it. Fight your fight. Be Girl Wrestler Joanne, or get out of here and go find her.
Jo- I’m feeling kind of funny… I feel pretty hot.
Samantha- Well, do something about it.
Joanne gets up for the next round and rips the bikini top and bottom off, leaving herself standing in just her black boots. Kathy’s eyes widen as Joanne smiles at her and blows her a kiss.
Kathy- What is she doing? Why did she take her clothes off like that.
Lucky- To throw you off, ha ha.
(Justice- I didn’t like how Joanne took her clothes off, but she is on my team and I will root for her unless we face each other. I don‘t think a self-respecting lady has to take her clothes off, especially under these circumstances. It was nasty.)
The bell rings and Kathy comes out more cautiously as Joanne smiles at the taller girl and fakes a charge, causing Kathy to back up immediately.
Jo- What, Kathy? You don’t want to touch me?
Kathy- No; I don’t. But I will!
Kathy nails Joanne with a hard jab to her nose and a straight right hand to her stomach.
Jo- Ughhh… you got me…
Kathy- Totally!
Kathy throws a kick at Joanne’s head, but Joanne is able to duck under it and grab Kathy around her waist while trapping the leg. Joanne dry humps Kathy a few times before throwing her over her head in a move that Samantha uses… the Sexyplex. Kathy is hurt, but gets to her feet, only to take a kick to her crotch from Joanne and doubling over into a DDT, the top of Kathy’s head slamming into the mat as Joanne does a backwards somersault and lands in face sitter position.
Kathy- Noooo!!! Noo--mmmmpppphhhhh!!!
Rachel is seen watching with her arms folded and a very disgusted look on her face while Samantha is cautiously celebrating as Kathy, who is a virgin and doesn’t curse and doesn’t go out of her way looking for trouble, is getting a taste of Jo’s other lips on her mouth.
Jo- Tap out, Kathy, and I’ll stop. No one’s ever gotten out of my face-sitter and you’re not going to either.
(Shawna- Joanne is full of shit. I’ve gotten out of that stupid move, and I put her in it and beat her with it.)
Kathy can hear Joanne, but she’s not giving up. Her arms are pinned down and she’s bucking her legs, but she’s on her back and her breathing is being cut off. But with one show of strength, Kathy flexes her small but defined biceps and slams both knees up and into Jo’s back, knocking Joanne forward enough for Kathy to slide out from under her. Kathy tries to get up, but the lack of air causes her to only muster enough to get to her hands and knees. Joanne jumps on Kathy’s back, wrapping her legs around the taller girl’s waist and her arms around Kathy’s neck, putting her in another Joanne finisher, and a popular one amount fighters… the scissor sleeper. Joanne’s booted foot is rubbing against Kathy’s crotch and her arms are tight around Kathy’s neck. Jo is able to roll Kathy onto her back and Kathy’s face has turned beat red, but she’s not tapping out. After about three minutes of choking, Kathy’s eyes are vacant and the ref calls the match.
Laurie- Yes!
Rachel and Gemma both glance in Laurie’s direction, but Rachel’s head never turns to the point where she can see Laurie as Rachel enters the ring, looking pretty disappointed. Lucy Thunder gets into the ring as well and shoves the celebrating Joanne.
Lucy- You’re not but a cheater! Any respect I had for you just went out the window!
Joanne- Hey, I won that fight fair and square, Lucy. Chill out!
Kathy tries to stand, but Gemma tells her to stay down and offers her some water.
Gemma- You fought a hell of a fight, Kathy. Don’t worry about it; we’re going to keep training you and you’re going be a fucking beast in the ring.
Love- Fucking beast? Isn’t that who she was fighting?
Gemma- Come on, Love. The girl is hurting.
Love- Yeah… she just lost to a woman who hasn’t won anything all year. Kathy, you’re going to get better. Your problem isn’t physical; it’s mental. Sort of like you, Gemma.
Joanne- I totally won, just like I said I would. I totally kicked her ass!
(Wilma- I think Girl Wrestler Joanne is like, really stupid, *snort laugh* She won the fight, but she totally fought like crap and she was running around afterward acting like she saved the planet from an alien invasion or something.)
(Dana- Joanne won the fight, but she didn’t look very good at all. A better fighter would’ve had her out in the first round. I sparred with her to help her get ready for this fight and she’s a cool chick, but now that she’s made the final 16, she’s got a lot of work to put in. She’s going to have to stop arguing with Shawna, Praggy, and Katrina and realize that out of those three, she’s the weakest one… and they aren’t who she’s going to be facing in the next round either.)
(Rumor- They both suck. Kathy had no ground game and got freaked out by the sight of a naked woman, and Joanne can’t fight at all. This is a crap shoot. Laurie Breeze was happier that Joanne won and she probably doesn’t even know the girls on her own team because she’s too busy spying on our team and being a conceited self-absorbed bitch.)
(Lucy Thunder- Laurie isn’t as friendly as I thought she’d be. I heard all this stuff about how she posts inspirational quotes online and all the stuff she’s been through, but I don’t think she can concentrate on fighting and be that person at the same time. I guess that’s because the learning curve for her is so much different than it is for the people who are more experienced. I‘ll still help her, but she needs to stop hating her haters and show some support for her supporters.)
(Samantha- So, Joanne beat Kathy. I was so worried about that fight, but she pulled it off because she fought her fight instead of fighting Kathy’s fight. I always figured she could take a nice girl; she just struggles against mean girls. Now, we’ve got our eight fighters and Rachel’s got hers for the tournament. We get to pick the first fight and I’m going to think about this decision for who I want to put in the cage so that my team can keep the momentum. I see Laurie and Porsche on the other team and how awful they are, but they won because they had heart and because my girls didn’t. I’ve got Dana and Dynamite, who are solid fighters. I’ve got Rumor and Praggy with their suspect losses, but with something to prove. And I’ve got girls like Katrina and Justice, who are also solid and are ready to go. Shawna has only beaten Joanne of note, but she’s been showing a lot of skill in sparring and Joanne just showed that she’s improved. I have to be smart picking a girl on my team to fight and I have to make sure that we win, so that we can keep picking the fights and picking off the Team Rachel girls. I’m going to sit down with my other coaches and maybe even the girls and decide who’s going to fight.)
Next Time: Praggy and Victoria make their debuts with their new teams and it doesn’t take long for Victoria to rub Gemma the wrong way. And what happens when Love decides to push Lucy Thunder pretty far. Baby Liz continues her mind games, both with her teammates and with Laurie Breeze and Samantha decides which two fights will face off in the first Round of 16 match-up.
