Celebrity Wrestling

Night 3, Match 2

Jessica Simpson sat in one of the recliners in her dressing room watching the closed-circuit coverage of the first match. Her partner for the weekend tournament, Eliza Dushku, was lying on the training table resting up for her match (which would be the last one of the evening). Both wrestlers had side-stepped a grievance filed by Brooke Burns over their behavior on the first night. After Jessica had beaten Kim Smith (Brooke's partner for the weekend), both wrestlers accosted her in Brooke's dressing room, physically and sexually assaulting her. After meeting with the commissioner, the grievance was declared unfounded since the offended party (Smith) didn't file it. Simpson and Dushku fully expected Smith to file after the initial ruling, but she didn't and, as such, no action was taken against them.

“Wow!” Jessica said at the conclusion of the first match. “That is one mean customer there. Who'd a thunk it? I never imagined the big bimbo would be serious about this. That's two matches, though, where she has destroyed her opponent and just crushed them. It's like she just squeezes them to death. She's a tall, blonde, big-tittied python.”

“Doesn't matter. She hasn't faced a tough test yet. We'll see what she does when she matches up with someone who is serious about this. Speaking of which, you ready for Alba? She looked tough last night.”

“That's the key, right there. She fought last night. She may be in good shape, but I'll wear her down. Then I'm really gonna hurt that smug bitch. She may think she's all that, but she'll beg me to pin her tonight.”

In the ring, the second match was about ready to start. Shannon Elizabeth bounced excitedly in her corner. After her first match, she felt she needed a little redemption. Her arm and ribs were still sore from the abuse they took last night. Her opponent, Brooke Burns, also felt the need for a little redemption. Her first match against Susan Ward was stolen from her, she felt. Susan had fought dirty and took advantage of Brooke's rule-abiding nature. She had since decided that she wouldn't be caught off-guard like that again. Neither girl would own a height advantage, both 5'9, but Shannon looked to have a slight advantage in strength that may turn out to be beneficial. Her black bikini shorts and top fit snug to her body. Brooke was wearing a light blue string bikini that strained to contain her beautiful, buxom frame.

The ref signals the start and both girls cautiously approach the center. Brooke thinks about the test of strength, but continues circling, figuring Shannon might have her, there. Shannon shoots downward, sliding under Brooke and grabbing her left ankle, taking her down. As Brooke hits the mat, face first, Shannon scrambles on top of her, grabbing her right arm and putting her in a hammer lock. With Brooke on her belly, she can't even try to leverage her arm out of the painful hold as Shannon continues to apply pressure. Brooke slams her hand on the mat out of frustration and pain as Shannon secures the hold with her left hand, rises up and drives her knee into Brooke's shoulder. Brooke screams in disapproval as Shannon repeats the move again. Having no way to escape, she takes a third and fourth blow to the shoulder before Shannon finally releases her.

Brooke tries to scoot away from her as Shannon locks her hand into the blonde's hair and yanks her to her feet. She twists the right arm over her head, again applying pressure to the shoulder. Shannon then launches a kick into Brooke's mid-section, forcing her to a knee. As she tries to stand again, her arm is bent, then yanked, hard, straight back out. As she grabs for her wounded shoulder, the move is repeated. Shannon, then, grabs a hold of Brooke's hair again, this time taking her to the corner and slamming her head into the turnbuckle. She puts Brooke's right arm over the top rope, then uses the rope as leverage, pulling back on the arm with all her strength. Brooke screams as the ref counts the illegal hold, breaking it at 4. Shannon switches the attack, though, driving her elbow into the wounded shoulder as the ref insists that she take the action back out of the corner. Finally, he starts a count, getting to four as Shannon drives her elbow to the shoulder for the 10 th time. She grabs Brooke's hair, spinning her out of the corner and runs to the center of the ring dragging her foe along. As she gets to the center, she leaps and drives Brooke's head into the mat, maintaining her grip on the stunned blonde's hair. She then grabs the wounded right arm and applies the crippler cross-face. Brooke's stunned look from the impact of having her head slammed into the may is instantly replaced with a look of anguish as Shannon locks the hold in. Brooke screams her submission after less than 30 seconds and Shannon breaks (the hold, not the arm).

During the break, Brooke concentrates on trying to rub the pain from her shoulder. She can't hardly move the limb, causing her to wonder how she might be able to change the tide of the match. She's on a knee as the ref signals restart and immediately gets dragged to her feet by Shannon, who squats in front of her lifting Brooke over her left shoulder like a sack of potatoes. After a couple of seconds of letting Brooke wander what was happening, Shannon drops her down pounding the pained shoulder into her knee. Brooke flops on the mat like a fish out of water as Shannon settles in behind her, grabbing her feet. She crosses them and steps over and sits on them, folding Brooke's legs and pinning them to her back. Then she lifts Brooke's hurting arm, slides her head under it and forces her torso into a wicked twist. The move shoots pain through Brooke's back, but also keeps the pressure on the shoulder as that socket is supporting her weight. Quickly, Brooke issues another submission.

Shannon stands over her opponent, waiting for the restart with two points secured. At the restart, she grabs Brooke's arms and drapes them over her knees. She locks her hands under Brooke's chin and leans back, trapping her in a camel clutch. “Look, I'm Brooke's back mounted”, she laughs, referring to the Academy Award nominated movie. Brooke's submission comes quickly, though, causing Shannon to break again. “Seems like I've taken the fight right out of you. Just relax a bit, I'll slap a couple of more submission holds on you, then wrap this up. As long as you behave, the worst is behind you.”

The ref continues the match and Shannon stands, placing her foot squarely between Brooke's shoulder blades. She reaches down, grabbing the wrists and yanks Brooke's arms straight back, continuing to apply the pressure to the middle of the back. Another submission gives Shannon her fourth point and she releases the hold. She turns, facing Brooke's feet during the break. At restart, she grabs Brooke's ankles, locking in a Boston crab and quickly causing Brooke's fifth submission. “Smart move, Brooke. The pin is all we have left and you'll set to go have someone look at that shoulder. Shouldn't be too bad, though. I didn't really injure it.”

Brooke tries to crawl away as the break ends. She doesn't want to be dispatched quite so easy, but doesn't see a way to avoid it. She reaches for the ropes as Shannon lifts her to a stand using her hair. Shannon walks her back out to the center of the ring, steps behind her and wraps her head in a sleeper hold. “Night, night, blondie”, Shannon says as her defeated foe tries to free herself using her one good arm. As she realizes she can't break the hold, it occurs to Brooke that this isn't a pin. If she doesn't let Shannon put her to sleep, she can spoil her attempt at maximizing her points. Brooke submits a sixth time and the ref signals the end of the match. Shannon is stunned and furious. She releases Brooke, allowing her to drop to the canvas and starts stomping on her wounded shoulder. The ref separates them as she screams profanities at Brooke. Finally she regains her composure. “Believe me, bitch, you'll regret that.” With that, Shannon retreats to the dressing room.
