It had been almost a full month since Maggie had seen her husband John, a long and tough month, but his business trip had finally come to an end and he was on his way home. In fact he was arriving home a day early and Maggie couldn’t have been more excited. She missed him terribly and looked forward to seeing him walk through the front door. When he finally arrived on that Thursday afternoon, Maggie threw her arms around him and gave him a smothering hug. She was now almost completely recovered from her last, unfinished bout with Marisol. All that remained was a slight bruise on her right cheek, which she covered with blush, and a small bruise on her stomach. But that was ancient history to Maggie as she hugged her husband. Originally Maggie was to meet John in Hawaii, halfway through his trip, but Maggie used that money to have their leaky roof fixed, unbeknownst to John. He was delighted at the sight of the new roof, but it was obvious that the time apart had been difficult for each of them. But the ever resourceful John had a solution. Using the wealth of miles he had accumulated on his frequent business trips, he made arrangements for the two of them to spend a long weekend in Florida. He had purchased the tickets and hotel room using the miles, so despite their perilous financial situation, expense was not an issue. He told Maggie about the plans, and since it would cost them little, she was ecstatic. The next morning, the two of them caught an early flight and landed in Florida to spend three days resting and relaxing. Maggie was so elated by John’s thoughtfulness, and so distraught over keeping her re-entry into the world of wrestling a secret, that she decided to tell him all about it. That night, as the two of them sat by the pool and drank tropical drinks, Maggie told John everything. She told him about her first two matches with Marisol and the humiliating and painful results. She then told him about how she had re- joined the wrestling federation and the matches she had already had, including her victory over Marisol’s daughter Rosalie. And then finally she told him all about her most recent match with Marisol. John was amazed that Maggie had been able to do all of this without his knowledge, but he was not upset. His only concern was for Maggie’s safety and, seeing that she was okay, he was aroused by the opportunity to see his wife in action again. The talked for awhile before they went up to their room and had a long night of passion. Maggie modeled her patriotic swimsuit for the enamored John, and then he presented her with two more suits which he picked up in his firm’s California office. As Maggie continued her fashion show, John noticed the lingering bruises on Maggie’s face and body but he didn’t say anything. He did however realize the brutality of the rivalry between his wife and their neighbor. Rather than being upset however, it actually stimulated him and he grabbed her and lowered her down on the bed to ravage her. The two of them spent the remaining days and nights sunbathing, drinking, dancing, but most importantly for Maggie, making love. In fact they made love more in those three days than they had in the past six months. When the trip came to an end, their marriage was stronger than ever and Maggie was at peace.

Arriving back home however, Maggie and John resolved to focus their energies towards Maggie’s wrestling career, specifically for a re-match against Marisol. They agreed that Maggie should have a few preliminary bouts before arranging a match with Marisol, and they agreed on the strategy. Maggie worked out each night, with John right alongside her. He held her ankles when she did her sit-ups, encouraged her as she worked hard to get herself in the best possible shape and massaged her after each session. Their plan progressed until a week later, Maggie got a call from an excited Jo. Maggie’s partner and mentor explained to her how the tag team championship had been abdicated, and that the fed was hosting a tournament within the next few weeks to determine the new champions. Jo asked Maggie to team up with her and wrestle for the title, but Maggie was not thrilled with that idea. First of all she wanted to focus on her solo wrestling, and secondly the two of them had previously had disastrous results when they teamed up for their only tag team match together. Disappointed, Jo begged Maggie to reconsider. Maggie told Jo that she would think about it, but knew that it was not going to happen. Jo pursued the issue over the next few days, but finally realized that Maggie could not be persuaded. Jo was annoyed with her friend, not only for backing out of the tag team tournament, but also for dropping her once John came into the picture. Jo treated her coldly after that, but Maggie was not concerned, she had John on her side. The following week, Maggie and John felt she was ready so she had the matchmaker arrange a match for her. He set up a match against a newcomer to the federation, a young woman named Kim. Confident that she could easily beat a rookie, Maggie accepted the match and told John all about it. That night, the two of them celebrated Maggie’s impending match with a bottle of champagne, John so stimulated by the thought of seeing his wife in the ring again that he made love to her right on the living room floor. But the next day Maggie went right back to work in preparation for the upcoming match. It was scheduled for Saturday night, exactly one week before the tag team tournament was to take place. Jo had still not found a partner, and although angry with Maggie, still hoped that she would reconsider.

As the Saturday night came, Jo sat in the crowd to watch her friend in action, hoping that she would win and then agree to team up for the tournament. Meanwhile Maggie sat in the dressing room while John rubbed moisturizer on her shoulders and tried to get her to relax. Maggie was nervous about wrestling in front of her husband, but yet felt comforted by his presence. He continued to rub the moisturizer on Maggie, having her lay down on the couch as he massaged her entire body with it. Her skin was a pinkish tone, a cross between sunburn and tan, and the addition of the moisturizer gave it a healthy, rosy glow. She felt confident, even though she knew nothing about her opponent, choosing not to worry about her. Finishing up, John helped Maggie up and looked her over as she stood in front of the mirror. Maggie had lost a few pounds under John’s guidance, and her 5’6”, 160 lb. frame looked as good as it had in awhile. She knew her opponent was in better shape, and Maggie wished that she could get rid of her love handles, but she was happy with what she saw. In the next room, Kim was making her final preparations. She was a 24 year old, compact, brawny woman with no formal wrestling experience. At 5’3” and 150 lbs, Kim possessed a solid body and was an attractive woman. She had short, kinky brown hair, winsome brown eyes and nicely tanned, beautifully textured skin. She wore a black jogbra and a pair of black bicycle shorts, which effectively displayed her golden brown body nicely. Kim was a weight trainer and although her body lacked definition, it was obviously powerful. She had never wrestled before, but her ex-roommate Wanda had once goaded her into a stomach punching contest, which Kim lost badly. Being much stronger than Wanda, Kim received a valuable lesson in the importance of experience and smarts. Wanda had outsmarted her during the contest and took advantage of Kim’s naiveté. But being extremely competitive and a very sore loser, Kim decided to take up wrestling in order to help her develop the skills she lacked. She had trained with a coach for several weeks, but this would be her first test in a live match. It made for an intriguing match up, the young and strong but inexperienced newcomer versus the older and weaker but experienced veteran.

Maggie entered the arena first and was greeted with a luke warm reception from the large crowd. John sat in the front row, just a few seats away from Jo and watched intently as his wife entered the ring. Maggie stood in front of him and waved to the crowd, John now thoroughly arouse by the sight of his bikini-clad wife about to do battle. Her body glimmered under the lights, her large, round chest pointed firmly in front of her, aided by the underwire top. Although she had a small roll of fat around her midsection, John thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen as she closed one of her twinkling brown eyes and winked at him. Maggie seemed to have a calmness about her that she had not had in a long time. Just then Kim entered the arena and jogged to the side of the ring before climbing up into it. The sight of the pretty, powerful-looking woman stirred the crowd and they cheered enthusiastically for the newcomer. Maggie looked a little annoyed at the fact that the rookie had received a more boisterous greeting than her, but she got over it quickly as the bell was about to ring. The two wrestlers stood in their corners as the bell sounded, and they each bounced out of their corners and began to circle in the same direction. After a few seconds they each lunged at each other, and Maggie quickly grabbed hold of Kim’s right wrist, turning around so that she had Kim pulled up tightly against her back. She pulled Kim’s arm in close to her body, turning her wrist so that her palm faced up toward the ceiling. She then positioned herself so that she napped Kim into an armbar, forcing her wrist downward while she wedged her other arm just below Kim’s elbow. The force of the hold caused Kim to grunt as the pressure on her elbow joint increased. Maggie continued to force her arm downward, putting even more pressure on Kim’s trapped arm. Kim continued to groan, unable to prevent Maggie from increasing the tension. Desperate, she reached up and grabbed a handful of hair on the back of Maggie’s head with her free hand. She yanked it, forcing Maggie’s head back, but the veteran retaliated by jarring Kim’s trapped arm downward again. The rookie roared in pain before releasing her grip and freeing Maggie’s head. Still trapped, she again grabbed a handful of Maggie’s hair and jerked her head back, this time quickly releasing her hair and wrapping her forearm around Maggie’s outstretched throat. Maggie began to choke from Kim’s vice-like grip, but then released the hold on Kim’s arm, reached over her shoulder with both arms and grabbed hold of Kim’s hair. She then bent forward and pulled, tossing the rookie over her shoulder and sending her somersaulting through the air. The athletic Kim landed on her back, but used her momentum to continue rolling forward and quickly got to her feet. Maggie however was right on top of her and wrapped her arms around Kim’s head. Pulling her upright, she again tossed her over her shoulder and flipped her into the air. Kim tumbled forward before landing on her back, this time unable to rise so quickly. She slowly pushed herself up onto her feet, but again Maggie grabbed hold of her neck and straightened her up. Maggie dragged her forward a few feet and then again flipped her over her shoulder and sent her sailing through the air. The dizzied Kim crashed to the mat, unable to break her fall as she plopped down on her back. Maggie’s wealth of experience was obvious at this early stage, as she easily manipulated her inexperienced opponent. She ran up next to Kim and stomped her red, vinyl boot into Kim’s’ outstretched belly, causing the young woman’s legs to fly up into the air. Maggie grabbed hold of Kim’s elevated legs and wrapped her arms around them, trapping together. She looked down at Kim smugly as she squeezed her legs together in front of her.

The crowd jostled, cheering half-heartedly for the veteran who was in control. John was delighted at the early stage, impressed with his wife’s agility. Maggie pulled Kim’s legs up into the air and then flipped her over onto her stomach. Still clutching her legs, she bent one of them over the other as she positioned herself over Kim, her feet straddling Kim’s back. She then dropped herself down, landing her butt on Kim’s lower back and trapping her legs in a figure four leg lock. Kim’s head lifted off of the mat as Maggie strained to pull her legs backward, Kim screaming from the painful hold. The crowd began to jeer Maggie, deriding her for taking advantage of the younger woman, but that didn’t deter Maggie from keeping the pressure on. She pulled Kim’s leg backward, increasing the pressure on both legs, and held it in place for several seconds before easing her grip. She then tugged it backward again, repeating the process several times as Kim wailed in agony. Finally Maggie released the grip and dropped Kim’s bulky legs to the mat as she spun around on her back. Maggie remained perched atop Kim, but now faced her shoulders and head. Reaching down, she grabbed hold of Kim’s two wrists, which were laying alongside her body. She pulled back on Kim’s arms, forcing her back to arch and lifting her entire upper body off of the mat. Kim’s face grimaced, pain etched across it as Maggie pulled her arms, warping her powerful body. After quite some time, Maggie released Kim’s arms and sent her upper body crashing painfully to the mat. Kim was struggling, her body aching as Maggie sat on top of her and planned her next move. She pushed herself off of the young woman and stood down by her legs. She then reached down and grabbed hold of her ankles, flipping her back over onto her back. Maggie pulled Kim’s legs up into the air, wrapping them under her arms as Kim’s body was lugged up off of the canvas. Maggie pulled her until just her shoulder rested on the mat, the rest of her body suspended in front of Maggie, who held her legs in place at her waist. She then began to rotate, pulling Kim’s body around with her and eventually lifting it off of the mat as she revolved around Maggie. Kim’s arms flew out in front of her as she circled, her eyes wide open as she grew dizzy. The crowd became a blur as Maggie gained momentum and picked up the pace, whirling the body of the stocky woman around her. Finally Maggie let go of Kim’s legs and tossed her body forward, sending her soaring through the air before she crashed to the mat in a heap. Kim rolled over onto her side, dazed and dizzied. Maggie paused for a few seconds to catch her breath, but then sauntered over to her fallen foe and stopped in front of her. Maggie looked down at Kim and then leaned forward, grabbing a handful of her hair. Maggie hauled Kim up onto her feet, the dizzy wrestler rising slowly. As Kim rose however, her right hand began to clench into a fist. Maggie continued to pull her upright until she was completely on her feet, directly in front of her. As Maggie went to reach for Kim however, the jostled rookie cocked her arm and unleashed an enormous, wild uppercut into Maggie’s midsection. Kim’s fist connected just below Maggie’s ribcage, and the experienced Maggie immediately dropped to both knees, all of the color gone from her face instantly. Her mouth fell open wide and a pathetic squeaking noise came out of it as she knelt upright. All of the blood had been drained from Maggie’s face and a look of horror was stretched across it. She tried to breath, but no air would either come in or out of her body, the whispering squeak emanating from her mouth evidence of her handicap. Maggie began to panic. She had never been hit so hard in her life and still couldn’t breathe. The still shaken Kim showed her lack of seasoning by taking a break and allowing Maggie time to recuperate. She was excited at the success of her desperate blow, but still wobbly and unsure of herself..

Eventually Maggie caught her breath, but the pain in her stomach was so intense that she couldn’t move. She knelt upright, panting heavily as she replenished her drained lungs with oxygen. Having finally cleared the cobwebs and controlled her emotions, Kim made her way over to the kneeling Maggie and placed her hand underneath Maggie’s chin. Showing her superior strength, in one motion she plucked the older woman off of the mat by her throat, holding her erect. Kim than grabbed Maggie’s wrist and walked her over to the side ropes. Leaning back against them, she tossed Maggie forward, sending her racing across the ring and bouncing off of the ropes. Maggie was forced to run swiftly because of the power behind Kim’s whip, and her large chest bounced up and down uncontrollably as she careened off of the ropes and charged back at Kim. The rookie got confused and couldn’t decide what she wanted to do as her opponent approached, and before she knew it, Maggie was right on top of her. Alertly, Kim turned to the side and bumped Maggie with her shoulder, causing the older brunette to collapse to the mat. Although not much damage was done to Maggie in the process, the maneuver demonstrated Kim’s obvious superiority in strength and sturdiness. Reaching down, Kim grabbed Maggie’s arm and again forcefully plucked her off of the canvas. She walked her over to the same spot and then again hurled her across the ring. Maggie’s entire body shook as she raced faster than she thought her legs could carry her across the ring. She sagged back against the ropes before ricocheting off of them. This time Kim was waiting and had a plan. She lowered her shoulder and Maggie slammed into it, her entire body folding in half over Kim’s. Kim then stood upright, lifting her off of the mat in a fireman’s carry. John looked on, concerned for his wife yet still aroused at the sight of her locked in battle against a younger woman. He was concerned for her safety, especially considering Kim’s strength, but could not control his arousal. Meanwhile Kim marched to the center of the ring with Maggie’s legs hanging off her right side and Maggie’s head and shoulders falling over the left. She then began to pirouette, spinning herself and her cargo around and around. Maggie watched as the crowd whizzed before her eyes, her powerful opponent building up steam. Finally Kim stopped and dumped Maggie off of her shoulders, sending her tumbling to the mat. Maggie landed with a THUD at Kim’s feet, dizzy and woozy, but not seriously hurt. Her stomach still stung but she had recivered from the devastating blow for the most part, Kim not doing much damage to her as of yet, other than a little dizziness. Maggie knew however that this woman had the ability to hurt her and hurt her badly, and she needed to take control quickly. As Kim reached down to grab a hold of Maggie’s arm, Maggie quickly snatched onto her wrist with both hands and, using Kim’s momentum, tossed her into the air and flipped her over. Kim tumbled to the other side of the ring, but alertly continued rolling forward and right up onto her feet. Maggie slowly pushed herself up as well, and both women now stood on opposite ends of the ring, facing each other.

Maggie tried to be smart, not getting too close to Kim, but trying to figure out a way to ambush her. Being tossed around the ring had made Maggie start to sweat and her body began to glimmer from the perspiration. Both women moved cautiously, neither one exactly sure of what to do. Finally Maggie moved in and charged at Kim, but just before reaching her, she ducked down, causing Kim’s arms to grasp at the air. Maggie meanwhile had successfully averted Kim’s grasp and drove the top of her head into Kim’s belly. She drove the powerful woman back into the ropes and then stuck her head between Kim’s legs. She then wrapped her arms around the back of Kim’s thighs and slowly pressed herself upright, causing Kim’s upper body to fall downward and hang off of Maggie’s back. Maggie, having successfully lifted her adversary into the air, stepped back toward the center of the ring, still clutching Kim’s thighs which were draped over her shoulders. Reaching the center of the ring, she then tossed Kim’s legs off of her, sending her tumbling toward the mat. Unable to prepare herself for landing, Kim’s back smacked against the mat and she rolled onto her side moaning. Maggie was very careful, realizing that the last time she pulled Kim off of the mat, Kim had a surprise waiting for her. This time, Maggie reached down and grabbed hold of Kim’s left wrist, wedging her feet on either side of her shoulder. She rammed one foot into Kim’s armpit and stepped down on the top of Kim’s shoulder with the other. Grasping hold of Kim’s wrist with both hands, she then leaned back, using Kim’s own body for leverage, and began to pull her arm away from her body. Kim moaned as her left arm was being yanked from it’s socket, Maggie’s two feet digging into her body around the outstretched arm. Maggie looked as if she were water-skiing, leaning back and stretching Kim’s arm with all of her weight and ripping it away from her body while her feet remained planted in Kim’s shoulder. Eventually Maggie pulled her feet back and eased the tension on Kim’s shoulder. Then with a twist of Kim’s wrist, Maggie forced her over onto her stomach with her arm now elevated up alongside her. Maggie pressed her arm so that it was pulled to a 90 degree angle her shoulder, Kim kicking her legs wildly as she wailed in anguish. Her left arm was quickly going numb, but the pain was shooting all throughout her shoulders. Maggie had regained control, and was being very careful not to surrender it again.

Moving carefully, Maggie slowly lowered Kim’s arm, but then used it to pull her off of the mat. Kim rose gingerly, making sure not to make any sudden movements and put further strain on her trapped arm. Maggie then backed Kim into the corner, forcing her against the turnbuckle before lowering her arm. She then immediately planted her foot into Kim’s stomach, driving it forward in order to hold her in place. As Maggie reached for Kim’s arms however, Kim grabbed hold of Maggie’s raised ankle and jerked it into the air, knocking Maggie off of her feet. Maggie fell backward, landing on her back as Kim tightly clenched her ankle in her right hand. Kim then raised Maggie’s leg into the air, stretching her hamstring in the process. She then stomped down on the back of Maggie’s elongated thigh, causing her entire leg to jiggle wildly from the impact of the forceful kick. Kim then landed another forceful stomp, causing Maggie to moan as her thigh ached with pain. Kim continued to stomp down on her fleshy thigh, rendering Maggie’s useless. Desperate, Maggie whipped her other leg over and swiped across Kim’s legs, knocking her off of her feet. Kim tumbled to the mat and Maggie reached forward and grabbed hold of the ropes to help her up. She moved slowly, but Kim had already gotten to her feet and was charging over to the gimpy Maggie. She grabbed the stooped woman by the hair and tossed her into the corner. Kim then rammed her head forward, driving into Maggie’s chest before unleashing four successive hooks into Maggie’s soft belly. Maggie’s mouth fell open again as Kim backed away and the older brunette involuntarily dropped forward, falling like a freshly cut tree. She wrapped her hands around her battered midsection, the force of Kim’s punches more than she could bear. Kim’s left arm was still aching from the earlier attack, so she tried not to use it. She reached down with her right hand and grabbed hold of Maggie’s hair before yanking her up onto her feet. Maggie knew she was in trouble and had to act fast. She quickly reached over with her hand and scratched at Kim’s eyes, momentarily blinding the rookie as she squealed with pain. Maggie knew she had bought herself some time, but she had to act quickly.

Still crouched over from the painful blows to her stomach, Maggie rushed up behind Kim. Placing her hands on either side of Kim’s head, she slapped a full nelson on the blinded novice. Kim struggled to free herself, but Maggie had gotten a good grip as she limped forward, pushing Kim in front of her. As they approached the corner, Maggie built up some speed, driving Kim’s unprotected body into the turnbuckles. Maggie backed up several steps, still keeping the full nelson intact, and then rammed her forward again. She repeated this one more time, driving Kim’s extended and defenseless body into the corner of the ring. Maggie then released the hold and Kim’s body dropped over in front of her, although she stayed on her feet. Maggie was now perspiring quite heavily and feeling the effects of the limited but forceful attacks of her inexperienced foe. She knew that she had to end the match soon, before Kim had another chance to fight back. Maggie knew that one more of Kim’s shots to her stomach would mean the end for her, so she proceeded with caution. With Kim still hunched over in front of her, Maggie raised her arms over her head and rammed her joined fists into the small of Kim’s back. The rookie crumbled to the mat and landed spread eagle on her stomach. Maggie then grabbed her ankles and dragged her back towards the center of the ring before flipping her over onto her back. She then folded Kim’s legs up toward her shoulders and pressed all her weight down on the backs of them, pinning Kim’s shoulders to the mat and holding them in place. The judge began to count as the crowd mumbled indifferently. They were not impressed by Maggie’s showing against the newcomer, and were lethargic in their cheers as the bell rang to end the match. John however was ecstatic and jumped to his feet to cheer his wife. She stood up and raised her arms over her head, her perspiring body glistening under the lights. She blew a kiss at John and slowly made her way to the corner and climbed out of the ring. John was extremely excited as he greeted his wife outside the ring. He had witnessed her locked in combat against a younger, stronger woman and was impressed by the result. He hugged Maggie and congratulated her before wrapping her arm across his shoulder and helping her as she limped back to the locker room.
