POWA Holiday Tag Team Tournament - Round 1, Match 1
SANTA'S ELVES (Maggie & Barbie Doll) vs. MARISOL & KIM





The POWA arena was decked out in it's holiday best. A huge Christmas tree and tremendous Menorah adorned the lobby, fresh garland was strung from the ceiling, the wrestling rings' mat a bright red and the ropes a wintry, white color. Even the crowd seemed more festive than usual, anxious to see what the POWA had cooked up for it's First Annual Holiday Wrestling Show.

The first event of the evening was a tag team tournament in which four teams would compete for the right to face the current Tag Team Champs, The Black Angels, in a championship match. But since there weren't any legitimate Tag Teams left in the POWA, other than the champs themselves and the Flying Flowers, the POWA's newest tag team, some needed to be put together. So the POWA brain-trust came up with three new tag team pairings, each invited to compete in the tournament. All three teams agreed, so together with the Flying Flowers, the four teams for the tournament were set. So as the crowd filtered into the arena, the teams readied themselves in the dressing areas.

The first match of the evening promised to be an interesting one based upon the pairings. One of the teams consisted of Barbie Doll and Maggie, while the other consisted of Marisol and Kim. While Maggie and Marisol were bitter rivals, Kim and Barbie Doll had actually gotten along quite well in the past, even training together on a number of occasions. So there were some unusual contrasts to these pairings, and the POWA seemed to purposely make that the case for this first match.

The second match of the evening pitted the Flying Flowers against the team of Stacey and Susie. Susie was the POWA's newest wrestler and Stacey was returning to the ring after having her leg broken in a match against The Outlaw a few months ago. The Flying Flowers were a pair of lovely, identical twins direct from Japan, who had beaten the Black angels in their first match, a non title event. They were out to prove that their first match was no fluke and that the title was rightfully theirs.

So with the first round matches set, the crowd settled in and the women ready to go, the introductions began.

"Ladies and gentleman welcome to the POWA's First Annual Holiday Extravaganza! Tonight you will be treated to a great night of wrestling!!!!

Out first event of the evening is the First Ever POWA Tag Team Tournament!!! Four teams will compete for the right to wrestle against the Black Angels for the Tag Team Title! Our first match of the tournament features two new tag teams…….

The first team features Maggie and Barbie Doll … Weighing a combined 298 pounds… They go by the name of …… SANTA'S ELVES!!!!
"

The crowd cheered, some chuckles heard in regard to the harmless name chosen by the two women. As the spotlight shined down the aisle towards the entrance to the arena, Maggie and Barbie Doll emerged from behind the door, drawing a loud reaction from the crowd. Each was dressed in a red, crushed velvet, strapless bikini which was lined with a thin strand of white, faux fur piping around the waist and bust lines. Both also wore a matching Santa's Cap with their names written in script on the head band in silver glitter, smiling cheerfully and enjoying the support of the crowd as they sauntered up the aisle towards the ring.

The crowd seemed to enjoy the spectacle as the two jovial women made their way up into the ring. As Maggie and Barbie Doll skipped toward their corner, it was amazing to see the transformation which Maggie had undergone. Just a month or so ago, she had backed out of her last scheduled POWA match due to a bout of depression and a lack of training. She was concerned that her husband had been cheating on her with Marisol, causing her to fall deeply into a funk.

But somehow Barbie Doll had been able to motivate Maggie to the point where not only did she get back into the ring, but she was excited to do it. Barbie persuaded Maggie that the only way to beat her depression was to face the cause of it, right there in the ring. And since Marisol was the cause of it, what better way than to beat Marisol. Barbie's explanation all made sense to Maggie, and even though she had not been able to work her now chubby body into the greatest shape, she was very motivated for this match. At 178 pounds, she accounted for 60% of the Santa's Elves poundage, but it did not bother her. In fact Barbie Doll did such a great job of motivating her older teammate, that Maggie had come up with the name Santa's Elves for the team and even found the outfits they were wearing, much to Barbie's surprise.

Barbie Doll had planned to wear her normal wrestling attire, but when she saw how excited Maggie was at having found the matching, holiday bikinis, Barbie could not turn her down. But as she slipped the top on and noticed that it was strapless, Barbie couldn't help but think it was a bad idea, especially in Maggie's case. You see while Barbie had a relatively small chest, Maggie was a very well endowed woman, and a strapless bikini top, regardless of how large the cup, was going to have trouble providing the support she needed. But none of that bothered Maggie now as she bopped with Barbie in their corner of the ring, her husband John seated in the front row and smiling at the sight of his wife in her Christmas attire. He winked at her as she skipped, further helping to increase Maggie's confidence level. But then it was time for their opponent's to be introduced, and the announcer again spoke into the microphone.

"And their opponent's tonight….. weighing a combined 273 pounds… MARISOL and KIM!!!!!"

The crowd again cheered as Marisol and Kim entered the arena to significantly less fanfare. It was not Marisol's style to invent cute names or to wear playful costumes, and tonight was no exception. In fact each of them wore what they would typically wear into the ring had they be wrestling alone. Marisol wore her yellow bikini while Kim wore her black bicycle shorts and athletic bra. They walked together, very business like and unenthusiastic, though neither looked particularly excited to be competing with the other.

This would Marisol's first match since her husband had passed away, so even though her emotions were churning inside of her, outwardly she showed little sentiment. Kim took Marisol's cue and was stone faced as she walked down the aisle and climbing into the ring. Marisol glared across at Maggie as she made her way toward the corner, Barbie Doll smiling sweetly to Kim and waving, Kim trying not to smile back, but unable to prevent it.

Maggie glanced out at her husband to see his reaction as Marisol set herself in her corner, watching to see if he was staring at her. To her delight, he kept his eyes focused on his wife the entire time, making her smile even further. Maggie was getting good vibes about the match as Barbie Doll climbed beneath the ropes and out of the ring, leaving her alone to face Marisol.

Kim also climbed out onto the ring apron, her body looking even more sculpted than the last time she had wrestled. Not very active as a wrestler in the POWA, Kim began to dedicate more of her time towards body building, and it showed. She tipped the scales at 150 pounds, but all of it solid as a rock. Conversely Marisol had dropped close to 20 pounds since her husband Hector's death and though still fit and solid, looked less imposing than usual at a svelte 123 pounds.

Each of the rivals stood with their arms stretched across the top rope in opposite corners, the history between them legendary. Marisol had humiliated Maggie in three private matches over the years, but Maggie had gotten the last laugh by beating Marisol when she was the POWA champion and thereby taking her crown. But all of that was ancient history now. They had never competed against each other in a tag team match as they were about to do, and so a new chapter was about to be written in their long history book.

The bell rang to signal the start of the match, but before Maggie bolted forward, Barbie Doll grabbed her by the arm and held her back, removing the Santa's cap from her head. The scene drew a few chuckles from the crowd as Maggie again moved forward, Marisol quickly on top of her. Maggie set herself for battle as Marisol charged right up in front of her, but before Maggie could react, Marisol lifted her knee into Maggie's midsection, jarring her with a mighty blow.

Maggie's midsection danced like a bowl full of jelly, the extra weight she was now carrying obviously slowing her reflexes. As she dipped her head, Marisol placed her in a front headlock and pulled her forward toward the center of the ring. Maggie waved her arms out at her sides while being dragged ahead, her body stooped over. Marisol then positioned her hands around both sides of Maggie's bowed head and with a quick jerk, wrenched her head to the side. Maggie's entire body lifted into the air and whirled around before falling into a seated position with Marisol standing behind her, still clutching her head tightly between her arms.

It had looked like a move straight out of a rodeo, with Maggie being the steer who was wrestled tot he floor. Marisol now stood over her from behind, squeezing Maggie's trapped head between her forearms. Maggie lifted her own arms to try and pry herself free, her midsection developing several thin, gathered rolls of skin as she struggled to get free. Marisol then yanked up on Maggie's head, lifting her butt off of the canvas as Maggie's face contorted from the strain.

Marisol held her up by the head for a few seconds before dropping her back down, but then plucked her up again, this time causing Maggie to gurgle from the pressure, small streams of spit flying from her mouth. Marisol strained to hold her in the air, but a few short moments later, dropped her back down. Maggie began to feel a stabbing pain in her neck, and the muscles around the base of her head began to spasm from the tension.

Barbie Doll stepped up onto the bottom rope and began to yell encouragement to Maggie, but it did little to help as Marisol again yanked her up by the head, wrenching her neck even more painfully as another stream of drool spewed forth from her mouth. Maggie's head began to tremble, her face growing a bright red, so red that it almost matched her outfit.

Finally, as Maggie looked like she could take no more, Barbie Doll dashed from beneath the ropes, ran across the ring and delivered a dropkick into Marisol's back. Marisol toppled over, releasing her hold on Maggie in the process before Barbie quickly crawled back to her corner and beneath the ropes. Kim looked on with conflicted thoughts, finally deciding to yell her protest out loud. But it was too late, the damage had been done. Marisol slowly got back to her feet as Maggie squirmed on the mat, grabbing her wounded neck with both hands.

Kim reached her hand out to Marisol, who sneered at first before turning back to Maggie. Marisol paused, looking back at Kim one more time before reluctantly reaching over and slapping her hand. Kim charged through the ropes as Marisol exited the ring, leaving Maggie to her.

Kim raced over and grabbed Maggie by the hair, pulling her forcefully upward. Maggie rose with trepidation, her neck still screaming with pain as she was plucked onto her feet. Kim then cocked her arm and delivered a mighty uppercut into Maggie's soft belly, causing her skin to shake and quiver. Maggie dropped to one knee as she covered up, bowing her head in toward her body. But Kim quickly pulled her up by her wrist and lugged her back toward the side ropes before whipping her across the ring.

Maggie chugged across the ring like a freight train, dipping into the ropes before returning towards Kim who quickly scooped her up, turned her body upside down and then body slammed her into the canvas. The entire ring jolted from the force of Maggie's body ramming against it. Kim ran quickly toward Marisol's corner as Maggie writhed on her back in pain. Marisol began to ascend the ropes in the corner, reaching the top rope as she balanced her weight. She then leaped into the air, slapping Kim's hands as she descended. Though Maggie was in pain, she saw what was coming, though powerless to prevent it.

Maggie tried to roll away, but Marisol descended upon her much too quickly to allow an escape. Marisol landed her knee forcefully into Maggie's midsection, pinning her to the mat as her joint affixed Maggie to the mat in a very painful manner. Maggie wailed in pain as her yielding tummy acted as a pillow to Marisol's knee. Marisol continued to driver her knee deeper into the pit of Maggie's paunch, Maggie thrashing her head from side to side in protest as the redness of agony returned to her cheeks.

Marisol thrust her arms over her head as Maggie wriggled beneath her, the crowd roaring from the high flying and fast paced action. Finally Marisol got to her feet, using Maggie's abdomen as a spring board. She then walked slowly around the ring as Maggie rolled onto her side, trying desperately to roll close enough to Barbie Doll to allow a tag. Marisol seemed happy to let her do it too, slapping Kim's hand before exiting the ring.

Kim could taste the victory and so she took her time entering the ring. Incredibly though, Maggie was able to roll over just enough so that a reaching Barbie Doll could slap her hand. Barbie hopped over the top rope, very energetically, prompting Kim to ready herself for a fight as Maggie rolled under the ropes and onto the ring apron.

Barbie Doll crouched into her fighting stance, as did Kim, and they both circled the ring cautiously, gradually moving towards each other. Since they had trained together in the past, Kim had learned to respect Barbie's wrestling acumen, and Barbie had learned to respect Kim's strength. They slowly moved closer toward each other until finally Kim thrust her arms forward to instigate the contact.

But Barbie Doll displayed cat-like quickness and hunched forward while lunging forward with her arms as well. Kim grabbed nothing but air, while Barbie wrapped both of her arms around Kim's right thigh, quickly tugging on it to knock Kim over and flat onto her back. Barbie hauled Kim's trapped leg upward, but then positioned her won feet so that she quickly rolled Kim over and onto her stomach, grabbing hold of other leg in the process before planting her feet on either side of Kim's midsection. As she straddled Kim's body while staring down at her butt, Barbie began to pull up on Kim's legs, trapping her in a Boston crab.

Kim's back arched as Barbie wrapped her own arms tightly around the front of Kim's thighs, pulling further backward on her powerful legs. Kim's muscles strained, but in this position, were useless in preventing Barbie from tormenting her. Kim could feel her back aching with each inch that Barbie pulled her legs back, hoping that she could somehow break the hold before she would be forced to submit.

With Kim's body now curled backward into a capital "C", Barbie began to push down on Kim's legs to increase the strain on her back. She tucked each of Kim's ankle under her armpits, locking her legs in place while lowering herself down onto Kim's back. The crowd roared as Barbie fixed the hold in place, Kim beginning to scream in protest and pain. Barbie Doll didn't like hurting her friend like this, but she also knew that the winner of this match would move to another match, so she was trying to save her and Maggie's strength for the next round. Kim's wails bothered Barbie though, who wished for Kim to submit quickly so that not only would the match end, but Kim would no longer be in agony.

But as Barbie pulled on Kim's legs again, the crowd began to roar and before Barbie Doll knew what hit her, Marisol came running up from behind her, pulling her violently by the hair and ripping her off of Kim, who quickly rolled to the side. Barbie was startled as she was thrown to the mat, taking a second to get her bearings as Kim struggled to her feet, trying to rub her back in the process. Barbie shook her head as she rose, glaring out at Marisol who had already climbed back beneath the ropes across the ring. Marisol glared back with a "Now we're even" look on her face.

Kim had gotten to one knee, kneeling right near Marisol's corner, but she was not yet on her feet. So Barbie took advantage of that by charging across the ring to attack. But Kim jumped up quickly as Barbie approached and was able to grab her wrist and whip her into the corner. Barbie's long, curly hair flew in all directions as Marisol quickly locked her arms behind her back as Kim raced over and rammed her knee into Barbie's taut, dimpled tummy.

Barbie groaned loudly as her head fell forward, her arms still trapped behind her back. Kim then again rammed her knee into Barbie's midsection, jarring her body once again. Marisol released her hold on the Doll's arms, but the damage had been done by this point, Barbie dropping in the corner, her head hanging in front of her. Marisol then reached out with her open hand and slapped Kim, who climbed beneath the ropes allowing her partner to take over.

Marisol quickly grabbed hold of Barbie's wrist and pulled her from the corner, whipping her across the ring and back into the corner where Maggie stood. Maggie had recovered for the most pert by now as Barbie's body rammed into the turnbuckles before crumbling back against the ropes. The knees to her midsection had hurt Barbie and it showed. Marisol noticed this and raced across the ring to capitalize on her opponent's agony.

She charged across at Barbie, leaping into a swan dive as she approached, looking to land a splash onto Barbie's sagging body. But Maggie stuck her leg between the ropes and held it straight, holding on with both hands to ensure the fullest impact. As planned, Marisol landed right on Maggie's outstretched foot which acted like a battering ram into Marisol's side.

Marisol fell to the mat as Barbie slapped Maggie's hands and limped between the ropes. Maggie climbed in the ring between the top two ropes, and quickly stood over her sore and suffering rival, anxious to finally have the opportunity to get her shots in.

Maggie quickly reached down and grabbed hold of Marisol's ankle, but Marisol propelled her leg upward, driving the sole of her boot into the right side of Maggie's face. Maggie's head jarred to the side, her right cheekbone instantly throbbing in pain as Marisol's leg fell to the canvas. But even though the kick had left her momentarily stunned, Maggie again reached for and clenched onto Marisol's ankle.

Again Marisol tried to shove her leg forward, but this time Maggie held on with two hands, moving to the side to avoid the contact. She pulled Marisol into the center of the ring, her face still stinging with pain as she dragged her foe on her back. Maggie then set her feet and grabbed hold of Marisol's other ankle, pushing her legs together so that she could get a tight grip. Maggie then took a deep breath, secured her grip and began to spin in place, hauling Marisol's body up by her ankles and whipping her around in a circle.

The crowd reacted positively to Maggie and her control of the match, cheering as she spun for a number of revolutions. But Maggie began to get dizzy and lose her footing, prompting her to release Marisol's legs and send her flailing to the mat. Maggie stumbled a couple of steps upon releasing Marisol, and her head was a bit fuzzy from the multiple spins. But Marisol was much worse off then she, landing in a heap near the corner where Kim stood.

Kim reached out to Marisol for a tag, but the stubborn woman refused to tag at first. Kim yelled for Marisol to tag, and as Marisol looked across at Maggie, who was regaining her balance, she reluctantly did. Kim jumped over the top rope quickly, wasting no time to attack Maggie, who was waiting for her. The two locked arms near the center of the ring, but Maggie was able to quickly turn her shoulder and flip Kim across her shoulder and onto her back. Maggie kept hold of Kim's wrist too and quickly knelt beside her on one knee, preparing to deliver a blow. But Kim abruptly reached up and grabbed Maggie by the hair with both hands, pulling herself up at first before pulling Maggie forward and sending her flipping over and onto her back.

Maggie landed awkwardly, the pale skin on her thighs flapping as the outside of each knee touched the mat as her legs spread apart from the landing. Kim quickly rolled over and was right on top of Maggie in seconds, wrapping her arm beneath Maggie's chin to pull her up by her head. Maggie's face grew red as Kim's large bicep muscle seemed to pierce the baggy skin on her throat, Kim pulling forcefully upward from beneath Maggie's chin.

Barbie Doll yelled encouragement to Maggie while deriding Kim for the choke, but Kim paid little attention, walking Maggie back over to the corner where Marisol stood. Kim then slipped her arms beneath Maggie's and pulled them upward before locking her fingers behind her head. Maggie's arms were now stretched on either side of her, trapped in a full nelson as Marisol climbed the ropes in the corner.

Maggie's eyes widened as she realized what was about to happen. She was powerless to defend herself from the inevitable air attack, and she feared for the worst. Marisol looked up and saw Barbie climbing beneath the ropes to intervene, but she was able to warn Kim with her eyes, devising a signal which Kim picked up on immediately.

Marisol first looked forward, obviously staring behind Kim to signal that Barbie was coming. She then rolled her eyes to the left side, signaling where she wanted Kim to move. Kim seemed to nod in agreement while still holding onto Maggie. Barbie Doll made her move, charging up behind Kim before Marisol yelled out… "NOW!"

Just then Kim abruptly stepped to the side while Marisol leaped forward, feet first. Barbie was caught completely off guard and as she looked up, was greeted with the soles of a pair of yellow wrestling boots landing square onto her right breast. Barbie was knocked off of her feet and straight backward, grabbing hold of her aching chest as she rolled into a ball and cowered in the corner.

Kim meanwhile kept Maggie entrapped, her arms still stretched over her head as Marisol got to her feet. She then slowly walked up in front of Maggie, whose feet were dangling about an inch above the mat as Kim struggled to hold her in the air. Marisol glared into Maggie's eyes, who looked defiantly back at her. The crowd was roaring in anticipation of what was to come, but all of the action in the ring stopped for a moment as the victim and attacker exchanged menacing stares.

Kim began to quiver from the strain of holding Maggie's corpulent body off of the mat, but just as she lowered her down, Marisol unleashed a powerful uppercut into Maggie's fleshy paunch. Maggie gurgled from the impact, but was unable to jack knife forward as her body was telling her to do. Kim kept the full nelson tightly in place as Marisol uncorked another powerful punch, just off the center of Maggie's belly.

"GGAAAWWWHHH!" wailed Maggie, but again she could not fold over, though her large chest began to dance wildly up and down as Kim held her in the air. The crowd was growing more vocal, some cheering the double teaming but others deriding Kim and Marisol for it. Marisol again set herself to deliver another punch into Maggie's loose belly, but just as the blow landed, Barbie had snuck up behind Kim and drove the point of her elbow into the crick of Kim's neck.

Kim seemed to loose control of her muscles momentarily, her arms falling to her sides which freed Maggie, allowing her to pour to the mat like a stream of water. Kim dropped to one knee and reached for her neck as Barbie moved in on Marisol, only to be met with a stiff jab, square into her midsection. Barbie folded over as the crowd sighed, Marisol standing triumphantly over her. But Barbie Doll was determined, and so she drove forward, ramming her shoulder into the pit of Marisol's stomach and driving her back into the corner.

Barbie continued to drive forward with her legs, but then used the leverage of the ropes to hoist Marisol onto her shoulder before carrying her to the middle of the ring. She then began to spin herself around, rotating Marisol in an Airplane Spin. Barbie Doll completed three full revolutions before dumping Marisol forward off of her shoulder, head first. Disoriented from the spinning, Marisol did not lift her arms to protect herself, and so she landed painfully on the top of her head, knocking her senseless.

Meanwhile Maggie and Kim both struggled to recover, each now kneeling on both knees and locked in arm to arm combat. With Marisol dazed, Barbie ran over to help Maggie, but not before Kim was able to fling her to the mat with a powerful shove. But that allowed Barbie to come up behind her and grab hold of the back of Kim's head before diving toward the mat and ramming Kim's face into it.

Barbie had taken control of the match, and Maggie slowly got to her feet as Barbie drove Kim's face into the mat once again for good measure. Maggie looked at Barbie with a very grateful expression on her face. Though no words were exchanged, the message was obvious. Barbie the turned and grabbed hold of Marisol while Maggie reached down and grabbed a handful of Kim's hair, yanking her onto her feet.

Maggie walked her back against the side ropes, clenching tightly onto her hair with both hands. She took a deep breath and then began to lumber forward across the ring, pulling Kim along with her. They picked up steam, not moving very quickly, but Maggie driving forward with her legs as quickly as she could. Reaching the ropes on the other side of the ring, Maggie pushed Kim's head down over the top rope, forcing her body to dip over it and flip out of the ring, falling to the floor below.

Kim landed hard on the hard floor below the ring while Barbie was in the process of setting Marisol up to be whipping across the ring as well. Maggie turned to watch before she began to climb the ropes in anticipation of ending the match. Barbie flung Marisol across the ring by her arm, waiting for her to return before submarining her, flipping her on her back.

Maggie meanwhile had gotten to the top rope and was struggling to keep her balance as she gradually stood up straight. Her arms were straight out at her sides for balance and the crowd watched in anticipation as she teetered back and forth, looking very shaky. But as soon as Barbie stepped aside, Maggie leaped forward, spreading her arms into a swan dive. It was quite a sight to see as Maggie's large, pale body soared through the air, descending on it's target. Marisol looked up, but was too late to prevent the impact.

Maggie's squashed directly on top of Marisol, pressing all of her considerable weight down upon her and pinning her to the mat. The crowd all joined in unison to count Marisol out, Maggie not allowing her to move an inch from beneath her. Reaching ten, the crowds roared their approval as Barbie stormed over and jumped up and down next to Maggie, who was slapping her hand against the mat in celebration.

After a few moments Maggie pushed herself onto her feet and she and Barbie Doll hugged, jumping in a circle to celebrate the victory. Marisol remained on her back for a minute or so, covering her face with her hands as Maggie and Barbie continued their celebration. Kim eventually crawled back in the ring to check on her partner as Maggie and Barbie climbed out, Maggie racing over to her husband John and giving him a big hug, transferring her own perspiration onto his clothes.
