Double Debut! Eren Roth vs Katsu Takehiko

Spoiler:

Eren could not believe his luck! Thanks to an unfortunate shake up with managers changing hands and a new structure being put in place, he had been waiting on the shelf for his main roster debut. His opponent would also be making their debut, but in his work Eren had never heard of this Katsu Takehiko before. Well here's hoping he gave the crowd a good show!!!

With his music blaring on the speakers, Eren ran down the ramp, waving at the audience with a happy smile on his face. True the nerves were bubbling under his happy exterior, but the excitement of his first match against a (hopefully) cute opponent were too much for him to pass up on due to cold feet! Sliding into the ring, the young man jogged in place, getting himself warmed up in his tight white ring pants adorned with buckles for design, which did much to show off his lean figure and bare chest.

Spoiler:

Katsu thought he should feel nervous before his first match, but found himself strangely calm. AFW was orders of magnitude more popular than anything he'd fought in before, with viewers and fighters from all around the world. He wasn't new to wrestling, but he was new to this level of exposure, despite all this he simply stood and watched the monitor as his opponent made his entrance. Eren was pretty good-looking, and quite similar to Katsu in size, putting them both on even footing (supposedly).

Eventually, after Eren had finished his entrance and stood in the center of the ring, the lights dimmed and music faded out while the new boy made his way up to the entryway. Right on time, his own music hit and the lights came back on, illuminating the brown-haired newbie as he stepped out into view, a bright smile on his face as a cheer went up from the crowd. He was pretty slim, with very little muscle for a wrestler. He wore simple white and blue knee-high boots with white knee-pads, each pad having a blue bird on the front. Around his waist were a set of tight, but soft and flexible short-shorts, with the same bird on each hip.

He reached the ring and slid inside, rolling onto his feet in a manner that was somehow reminiscent of cats, and smirked at Eren. "Konnichiwa!" he called out, tugging his shorts up very slightly and making eye-contact with his opponent.

The moment Katsu made his way into the ring, Eren had to try and fight against the blush that was creeping up on his face. Katsu was extremely good looking, from the minimalist outfit he decided to wear to his rather lean form. What little muscle he had accented his physique quite nicely.

The graceful way Katsu rolled to his feet made it clear that the Japanese youngster was well versed around a ring, and judging from the crowd reaction, it seemed he had already had an established following in Japan. Very different from what Eren was known for.....he just lost his matches back home.

'Tch, they just got lucky! I'm sure I can beat this guy!' Eren thought with a determined look in his eye. Although....it wouldn't be too bad being pinned by this hottie.

Smiling with a nervous chuckle, Eren raised his hand in greeting, "H-hey there!"

He tried not to focus on Katsu tugging on his admittedly tight wrestling trunks, keeping his eyes fixed on his opponent's.

The Japanese boy giggled at Eren's nervous response, sticking his tongue out at his opponent and raising two fingers to form a peace sign. Eren didn't look too bad himself, with Katsu admiring his more athletic body shape and physique, and blushing slightly at Eren's pants with the realisation his opponent was showing far less skin. No matter though, he'd barely notice during the fight if everything went well. It was looking like an interesting debut for both wrestlers, given they seemed to have immediately taken to eachother's appearance.

"You look cute, but I'm going to squish you." he announced, his tongue coming out again as he shifted into position to wait for the bell. As with his entrance, his pose and stance were very feline-like, looking quite similar to a house cat about to pounce on a mouse. Eren might be able to take this as some indication that Katsu intended to immediately go on the offense, if he noticed in the few seconds before the bell rang.

Once it did, Katsu did indeed pounce forwards, landing on his feet quite close to his opponent before leaping into the air to try and hit him in the chin with a hard flying knee! The soft pads around each knee would stop it from being particularly painful, but if it landed it'd still be quite disorientating.

Eren shivered in anticipation when Katsu made his declaration. Turned out his opponent was cute AND confident, a winning combo in his book. He noticed the grace in which his body moved was not unlike that of a house cat ready to pounce, an assumption proven true the moment the bell rang.

Eren took a step back in surprise when Katsu leaped forward, nailing the german with a knee right to the jaw. While not doing too much damage thanks to the pad, the force behind it sent the young man reeling into his corner, dazed from the impact. Shaking off the dizzy feeling in his skull, Eren tried to surprise Katsu, making a grab for his arm and attempting to pull him into a rough lariat!

Putting Eren in the corner right out of the gate made Katsu pretty confident, he hadn't managed to dodge the flying knee so perhaps his defense was bad enough to keep landing more moves like that. He chased his opponent down as soon as his feet touched the canvas again and looked to keep the offense going as long as possible, hoping to keep the boy trapped in the corner and vulnerable to further punishment.

His hopes were dashed soon after though, when he swung a hand towards Eren's bare stomach to punch him against the corner, Eren caught it and pulled the Japanese boy forwards right into his waiting arm, getting a loud "Nyaah!" out of Katsu as he crashed down to the canvas. If Eren didn't follow up his attack with anything, the smaller boy would quickly get back on his feet.

Eren had managed to get the cutie on his back, and wasn't about to let him get away. Grabbing his head, but being careful not to pull to hard on his hair, Eren dragged the boy to his feet, aiming a few well placed shots to his toned midsection. If they hit, Eren would press the attack, pushing his opponent back to his corner and gaining valuable ground.

Katsu's head was spinning when Eren took hold of it and pulled him up to a standing position, he really wasn't expecting his opponent to counter such a quick punch, and definitely not knock him down right after. His senses came back when a fist came right into his flat belly, getting a loud squeak out of the Japanese wrestler-boy.

Eren managed to get just two more hits in before Katsu slipped to the side, causing the German's next punch to hit nothing but air. Seeing the opening he had created, Katsu tried to get behind Eren and wrap an arm around his throat, the other pushing the German wrestler's head forwards to apply a sleeper hold!

It took all of Eren's willpower not to steal a kiss right then and there from the young Japanese wrestler. Even when on the defensive and getting battered, Katsu handled himself with a grace that the German had not seen before. Landing two ore solid hits, Katsu surprised Eren, dodging under his arm and resulting in a punch that simply threw him off balance.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was already too late. He felt those arms coil around his throat! No way....he couldn't have known.....

The sleeper was a move Eren had never escaped in his career. Often in his hometown, a dominant opponent would toss him in this move just to humiliate him with a slow knock out. "Uck! Ghaaa....khck....." he choked, hands trying to pry the arm off of him, while fighting to stay on his feet. If Katsu put him on his knees in the hold, kiss this match goodbye.

Katsu imitated the purring of a cat and gently licked Eren's cheek, all the while squeezing an arm inwards around the older wrestler's throat to starve him of extremely valuable oxygen. The boy pulled and pawed at Katsu's arm, seemingly quite desperate for freedom from the hold. "I hope you aren't going to let yourself lose this quickly." Katsu teased, trying to force the boy downwards either onto his butt or knees.

Putting the match to an end right now would be a very good start to Katsu's AFW career, but it'd also be a very bad start for Eren, and probably the least entertaining fight of the day for everyone watching. As such, if it seemed like his opponent was about to pass out, Katsu intended to break the hold for him, trying to make it look like Eren had freed himself.
