Jade has power, Trish has speed

Jade and Trish locked up in the middle of the ring in a classic collar and elbow tie up. Trish's arms visibly strained as she pushed back against Jade and her arse bounced as she adjusted her footing, trying to jostle for position. Her face visibly went red as she strained and she gritted her teeth with the effort... and Jade didn't move an inch. For all the effort Trish was putting in Jade looked like she was not even putting up a fight, her face was neutral and if she was putting in any effort at all it was not showing. After a few seconds Trish dropped the hold and stepped back, panting slightly with her glistening chest rising and falling. She glared at Cargil who took the time to flex her muscles again to the cheer of the crowd and Trish gritted her teeth again, clearly annoyed at her opponent's apparent disregard.

"Well that didn't work at all" remarked The King

"Not even slightly King, looks like Trish will need to reevaluate her plan" replied Mark Madden.

Letting her irritation get the better of her however Trish rushed back into the same collar and elbow hold with Jade with very similar results Jade seemed to use no effort to hold Trish at bay where Trish was very clearly straining to try to budge Cargil an inch. Fighting against the statuesque Cargil with all she had, it seemed for a second that Stratus might be getting somewhere as one of Jade's feet was **** off the canvas... but then Cargil simply marched forward as if there was nothing stopping her, pushing Trish back with ease until the Canadian beauty was backed into the far corner. Holding Trish there with ease Jade made sure to show off just how much power she had as she waited out the referee's full five count before she released Trish and backed off.

"I've asked it before King but what is the point of the referee in a match like this? I mean what are they going to do if Jade didn't break the hold? Disqualify her?"

"That's a good question Madden, maybe you should ask whoever pays our cheques at the end of the month" replied Lawler.

Jade backed away from Trish with a big smile on her face as she posed once again, flexing her arms as Trish stood red faced in the corner with a mix of embarrassment and anger. Clearly the veteran was not happy at how easily she was being pushed around. Taking a few steps out the corner Trish shouted at Jade, challenging her to comer at her and daring her to make a move. With a smirk Jade mouthed the word "Really?" as if in disbelief that Trish didn't seem to understand the situation. Regardless jade took up the challenge and stormed towards Trish. Just as Jade reached the blonde bombshell however Trish ducked under her outstretched arms and around behind her before pushing jade forward and using her own momentum against her.

Jade stumbled forward and her head hit the top turnbuckle in the corner with a thwack. Staggered if not overly hurt Jade stumbled backwards and Trish took her chance, jumping up onto Jade's back, wrapping her legs around Jade's ripped midsection like vines around a tree and grabbing a sleeper hold at the same time. Jade lost her footing and dropped to her hands and knees as Trish applied more pressure, looking to wear down the bigger woman. For a few seconds it looked to be working as well as Jade shook her head, trying to clear the sudden fog from her mind as Stratus tried to cut off her air supply. But it was far too early in the match for that and with a great show of strength Cargil fought her way back to her feet, lifting herself despite Trish being stuck to her like a limpet. Trish herself looked around in shock and disbelief at the show of strength and Jade staggered backwards towards the corner, looking to pancake Trish between herself and the turnbuckle pads.

At the last second however Trish let go, slipping away from Jade and avoiding danger, resulting in Jade slamming herself back first into the corner and not much else. Never one to miss her spot, Trish jumped forward and slammed a forearm into Jade's face before quickly climbing to the second rope to stand above Cargil looking around the crowd for a second before beginning to deliver punch after punch down on Cargil's skull.
