A thunderous roar echoed throughout the arena. The screams of the crowd were so passionate they united into a single ground-shaking cry. The blinding flashing lights served only to add to the spectacle unfolding in the arena.
The only noise that could pierce the excited crowd and the uproarious announcers was the smashes and cries coming from the centre of the arena, where two mares were locked into a battle of body and wit. A Pegasus and Earth pony, both mares, were intertwined in a tangle of limbs, curses, and punches.
Covered with sweat and bruises the two wrestling mares were locked in a test of strength, their hands tangled in a crushing grip. Each mare pushing against the other with all the strength they could muster. Each mare staring into the eye of the other almost like an animal would its prey.
Piercing through the chaos of the crowd, the loudspeaker of the announcers came to life, "Mares and gentlecolts! What a spectacle we have before us tonight! These two mares have been trading blows like mad, yet neither are willing to back down!" The energetic mare of the pair of announcers exclaimed with an almost unhealthy fervour.
Rolling her eyes at her partner's excitement the other announcer spoke up. "Right you are my friend, we've rarely seen such tenacity in display before. Most others would have quit by now." She flatly stated, causing a unique contrast to her partner’s rather loud uproar before her.
Boasting the superior power the Earth pony overpowered the Pegasus, in a flash she rushed in arms spread, too fast for her opponent to react in time. wrapping her arms around her opponent's waist and squeezing as hard as she could. This kept up until a pained wheeze came from her opponent, clearly not enjoying having to bear the bear hug.
Smirking at her opponent's weakness, the Earth pony squeezed harder and leaned back as fast as she could, tossing her opponent face first into the canvas in a reverse suplex-like throw.
A merciless "SLAM" echoed throughout the ring, drowning out the crowd for the briefest of moments, sending waves of pain throughout the thrown Pegasus' face.
"OH! I could've heard that one from a mile away, a vicious bearhug followed by facebuster, that chick ain't showing any mercy to her opponent tonight! These ladies are getting physical and I love it when gals get physical!" The energetic mare spoke up again, prompting another eye roll from her partner at her shameless comments.
The Pegasus was knocked to the edge of her limit, a burning ache searing across her face once her short trip had ended.
Fading in and out of consciousness the Pegasus could only groan in pain and caress her face with her hands. Trying to soothe the burning on her front, to little success.
Having disabled her opponent the Earth pony stood up and briefly smirked at her downed foe, taking some sick joy out of the Pegasus’ pained moans. Muttering an insult under her breath, the Earth pony decided to end this as painfully as possible.
Stepping over her opponent and turning around so she was facing her feet, the Earth pony reached down and tucked the Pegasus's legs underneath her armpits, preparing to finish this match with a fan favourite, taking her sweet time to soak in the crowds growing excitement at seeing her opponents grim fate.
If the crowd’s reaction didn't clue her in, the slight cramping in her back and her opponent grabbing her legs definitely did. Desperate to escape her painful end, the Pegasus began flailing, squirming and flapping her wings in hopes to escape in time. Much to the amusement and slight annoyance of the Earth pony.
Growing tired of her opponent’s spazzing, the Earth pony wrenched the Pegasus' legs as hard as she could before sitting back on her upper back, pinning the troublesome flailing wings underneath her ass. Grinning, the Earth pony taunted "not so tough without ya' wings ain't ya?"
The crowd exploded into a cascade of hoots and hollers at the spectacle before them, many of the stallions catcalling and whistling at the sight of a squirming sweaty mare pinned beneath the bigger sweaty mare's flank.
There was some top quality jiggle physics on display right now.
Joining in on this perversion the young announcer nearly exploded. "BOSTON CRAB! BOSTON CRAB! Holy shit she's bending her in half, someone stop the damn match!"
Her excitement only serving to excite the crowd to even higher levels.
If the Pegasus was uncomfortable before, now she was in agony, her back being wretched and contorted in an unnatural way, her legs threatening to pop out of their sockets at any moment, and the unforgiving weight of her opponent's flank crushing her sensitive wings and pinning them at an unnatural angle.
The Pegasus let her displeasure known by letting loose a bloodcurdling scream in pain from underneath the earth pony, pawing at the ground with her hands in a vain hope of escaping.
The earth pony only smirked harder when she heard the Pegasus’ scream, enjoying the feeling of the trembling legs under her arms and the twitching wings under her butt. Every time the muscles in the Pegasus' legs relaxed even slightly the Earth pony made sure to jerk herself back, sharply pulling the poor trapped mare's legs further towards her head briefly, prompting a pained cry to come from the Pegasus with each cruel yank.
After around a minute of this the once-confident Pegasus was reduced to a blubbering mess on the floor, her face soaked in a pool of her own tears. Consumed by humiliation, and defeat nearing her, all she could do is cry to try and relieve some of the pain on her tortured back.
Growing tired of this, the Earth pony figured it was time to end it. Mustering as much strength her Earth pony body could give her she scooted her flank further up her opponent's body, pinning the side of her head underneath her ass before wrenching back as far and as hard as she could.
In one second the Pegasus let loose a scream dwarfing all the others. In two seconds she pawed like a desperate animal reaching for the ropes in vain hope of relief from the pain. In three seconds the Pegasus gave up, tapping furiously on the mat and begging for the earth pony to let her go.
" And there's the tap out! The poor girl couldn't take the crabs! Her body looked like a damn C!" While disappointed that the show was over the announcer couldn't shake the hype she felt from the display of power that unfolded before her.
The crowd (and one announcer) went nuts, showering the victorious mare in a cascade of praise and applause, while leaving the defeated mare with nothing more than second glances and cruel jeers.
Seeing the tap, the ref signalled the bell and told the earth pony to release the hold. Feeling nasty the Earth pony gave a final hard wrench of the suffering Pegasus' leg, prompting a final moan of pain, and a harsh bounce of her butt on the Pegasus' head crushing her face between her ass and the mat in a cruel act of rubbing in her victory. The crowd roared in a crazed excitement at the cruelty of the action, enjoying seeing the display of dominance by the victorious mare.
The ref led the victorious mare to the centre of the ring and lifted her right hand into the air, the crowd chanting her name as the screen above the arena displayed her victory for all to see. The grin on the earth pony couldn't get any wider, basking in the adoration and celebration of her victory. The Pegasus mare was left in her curled-up heap, sobbing and moaning in the centre of the ring, wishing for a way to end the pain in her back and cursing her failure.
The display of such elation next to one of pure defeat was a sight that only served to make the crowds almost barbaric celebration all the more powerful, taking great enjoyment at seeing one mare triumph over another in such a manner. The announcers of the match, even the stoic one of the duo who had been quiet throughout the match joined the crowd in its excitement at the savage treatment of the downed Pegasus.
The crazed frenzy of the crowd grew into the trademark roar the stadium was known for. To the victorious mare, none of the crowd’s noise made it to her. To the Earth pony, she was in a world of her own, a satisfied grin spread wide across her muzzle. This was the life, the dominance; the excitement; the glory. All leaving an excitement within her like many other mares who stood in victory lane all felt in this moment. The thrill was as enjoyable as it was addictive.
A high that would only grow when the loudspeaker came on for the last time, having swiped the mic from her loud partner in order to save the eardrums of herself and the crowd, she speaks up. "Ladies and gentlemen! By way of submission, here is your winner!"
Never would any of these victorious mares give up this life for anything. To them, this was a heaven like no other.
