The arena crowd was rocking. LaKeisha Bates and Lorelei Butler had made flashy entrances. LaKeisha to Christina Aguilera's "Can't Hold Us Down" and Lorelei to her trademark "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain. Now the two combatants eyed each other under the watchful eye of the referee. Fans knew that both were in need of a victory, but if there was any desperation in their minds, Bates and Butler hid it well as they confidently exchanged some pre-fight trash talk.

LaKeisha was a golden brown vision in a baby blue mesh bikini top that barely covered her breasts and the matching thong bottoms covered even less, though they showed off her long, shapely legs and exquisite gluts. She smiled wickedly at her slightly smaller (5'7 to 5'6) blonde opponent and rubbed those beautiful, muscular buns.

"Take a good look at my lovelies-they'll be the last thing you see when I sit on your ugly face and smother you out!" LaKeisha said with silky menace.

Lorelei didn't blink an eye in the face of this threat. She rubbed the front of her black denim cutoffs.

"Your skinny butt don't scare me. Your face is gonna finish this fight right up against my sweet crotch here," Lorelei purred, then she moved her hands up to her black lace bra, "-or I might loosen you up with a taste of my tasty tits."

LaKeisha laughed: "You keep feeling yourself up, cracker. That's the only pleasure you'll be getting tonight!"

Lorelei gave her a hard look; "Ya talk big for her girl whose really just street trash."

Now it was LaKeisha's turn to give the blonde a hard look: "You shut your mouth."

"No, I'm gonna shut YOURS!"

With that, Lorelei lashed out with a short range savate kick that crunched off LaKeisha's jaw. The Nubian Princess reeled back as the referee signaled the timekeeper and the bell belated sounded. By that time, Lorelei had launched a scissors kick that rocked LaKeisha's head and the blonde confidently sent Bates crashing to the mat in a bulldog.

LaKeisha was then dragged to her feet. Lorelei was apparently planning to use a backspin DDT, but the ebony Texan suddenly came to life. She raked her nails across the blonde's face, then nailed her with a front layout suplex. Just as quickly she locked Lorelei's right leg into a painful figure four.

Lorelei pounded the mat to shut out the agony of her leg, but this would hardly solve her problem. Then, LaKeisha leaned forward.

"You better give up or I'll snap your skinny leg like a dry branch," LaKeisha hissed.

Lorelei just grinned. She took swift advantage of LaKeisha's leaning forward to drive a knife thrust in the golden brown throat. Bates' eye bulged as she struggled to pull air down her stunned windpipe. Worse, Bates' figure four weakened and Butler finished it with a vicious eye gouge that had LaKeisha screaming in pain and fury.

Lorelei stumbled to her feet and planted a good swift kick into LaKeisha's head as she struggled to rise. Then she retreated and came back with a jumping sidekick that caught LaKeisha just as she finally regained her. LaKeisha was slammed into the mat and Lorelei came down on top of her with double legdrop across the baby mesh bikini top. LaKeisha shuddered and went momentarily limp. Lorelei then hooked the brown leg and the referee called

: "ONE!... "

"TWO!.."

Then the Nubian Princess gave a mighty heave and jerked her shoulders off the mat. Lorelei was forced to relinquish her prey, but she circled LaKeisha as she again stumbled to her feet.

Lorelei lashed out with another kick aimed at LaKeisha's head, but the Texan was ready for her this time. She grabbed the leg in midair and yanked. Lorelei crashed onto her butt. Lorelei held onto the leg and gave the blonde a few stomps in her exposed crotch. Lorelei thrashed desperately even as her hands went down to protect her abused womanhood. Then LaKeisha flipped Lorelei over onto her face and after a couple more stomps to keep the Mississippi Queen distracted, she grabbed her by the arms and stood on her back in a painful surfboard.

"You made me mad, cracker," LaKeisha snarled. "Now you're gonna suffer long and hard."

LaKeisha applied maximum force to the trapped blonde's arms and shoulders, as well as her back. Lorelei's face was twisted with pain, but her only sound was heavy panting. Then the blonde realized she was not all that far from the ropes. With a terrific effort , Lorelei turned herself around and got a free leg up on to the ropes. LaKeisha cursed luridly, but the referee forced her away and the battered Lorelei pulled herself up along the ropes.

"I'm gonna break you in two!" Lorelei snarled at the LaKeisha.

LaKeisha ignored the snarl and charged in. The two locked up and did a fierce dance around the ring. Lorelei then tried to break the impasse with a hip toss, but LaKeisha bounced right back up and caught Butler with a brainbuster. Then she hauled the blonde up for a piledriver.

Lorelei was reeling from the blows to her head. She could barely stand and this was just what LaKeisha had been waiting for. She moved quickly into her inverted pedigree-a standing headscissors and a double underhook that slammed Lorelei back into the mat. Lorelei then completed her "Rumpshaker" by planting her sweat soaked gluteus onto the blonde's face.

"Nighty-nighty, cracker," LaKeisha gloated as she sat down on Lorelei's face. Lorelei struggled beneath her, but gave no sign of tapping out. The referee moved in and raised Butler's limp arm as the fans did the countdown:

"ONE... TWO... THREE!!!!"

The bell rang and LaKeisha stood up in triumph. She looked down at the sleeping Lorelei and grinned as she realized the blonde was snoring! She gave the Mississippi Queen a kick in the ribs and then headed for the exit. It had been too long since felt the sweet joy of victory. She swore to herself that it wouldn't be that long ever again!

WINNER: LaKEISHA BATES
